What seemed to be an evolved version of something like the stomach flu... was just a nasty, flesh eating plague in disguise. The first wave spread quickly, within a month almost 90% of the human population was struck with cold and flue like symptoms. While the virus had infected most of the world, it seemed minor. Scientists and doctors rushed to find a cure for this new flu, but before any breakthroughs were made, the second wave hit. Suddenly, people everywhere began to develop black welts on their bodies. Once the first welt showed up, the victim was estimated to have 72 hours to live. The welts would spread over the entire body of the ill, and then the virus would eat away at the flesh. The world fell apart. Just a few months down the road, cities are nothing more than ghost towns filled with dead bodies. Few people survived, and the ones that did have formed tribes. There are bandits, rogues and tribes. It's been said that this virus won't go away until all humans have been eradicated.
