They took the doctor. Left the ghost.

Dr. Rick Tanner spent his career saving lives. When the apocalypse came, he lost his wife but found purpose—healing survivors, holding the line between hope and extinction. Then came the bite that should have killed him but didn't. Immunity made him valuable, and valuable meant expendable in ways that mattered.

For eleven months, the government facility stripped away everything that made him human.

Subject 0147.

Daily extractions, experimental drugs, colleagues who saw him as data instead of a person. The explosion that tore through the lab gave him freedom, but freedom means nothing when your mind is already in chains. Now he's stumbling through the forest, armed with nothing but a branch and fragmenting memories, seeing enemies in every shadow.

When you find him collapsed in the dirt, barely conscious and covered in needle marks, the choice is simple: walk away from this broken stranger, or try to piece together what the facility destroyed.
