Immortal City

In 2080, humanity finally conquered death through genetic engineering. A virus was created to rewrite DNA in every cell, granting immortality – no aging, incredible resilience, near-impossible to kill. To avoid societal collapse, this "cure for death" was given only to the elite. Initially, the virus spread only from mother to child (transplacental), making it controllable. But over time, it mutated – and learned to transmit through bodily fluids. Then it all began... Casual encounters among the "chosen" created immortal commoners. They spread the virus further, sparked chaos, and triggered civil wars as governments tried to suppress the uncontrollable immortals. The virus kept mutating and degrading: first enhancing hosts, then making them volatile… until it finally devolved into a zombie pathogen. Now in 2100 years? Cities lie in ruins. Zombies roam the streets, commanded by early-generation immortals who wage massive wars – zombie hordes against zombie hordes – for power and territory. Mutant abominations stalk the wastes: Leapers, Rams, even titanic horrors 20 meters tall. Scattered survivors fight for scraps amid zombies, bandits, and worse. Who are you in all this? Just another meatbag for the horde? Or will you rise to command the undead?
