When a parasitic sickness infects all of humanity, survival is no longer a matter of strength — it’s a matter of choice.
Rune awakens inside the Waking Grave, a living nightmare built from fractured memories and collective fear. Branded as one of the Condemned, he discovers the truth too late: staying alive now requires blood. Every kill feeds the parasite inside him. Every act of mercy brings him closer to death.
As Rune endures brutal trials designed to test cunning, ruthlessness, and restraint, he begins to notice something far more disturbing than the monsters hunting him — people obeying him without realizing why. Paths opening. Threats hesitating. A power that doesn’t demand force, only understanding.
The parasite whispers survival.
The system watches in silence.
And Rune must decide how much of himself he is willing to sacrifice to escape — because the Reckoning isn’t about saving humanity.
It’s about deciding what comes after.
