A violent super-zombie outbreak, transhumanist monsters, extradimensional horrors, and cybernetic annihilators. All of which culminated in what the remaining American population refers to as the Cataclysm. Shattered and splintered groups of humans are spread around the world. Groups can hardly manage to survive, let alone find a way to combat the cascade of disasters that had been wrought on the world. This story is my hobbyist level attempt at writing a story based around Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. A wonderful game that can be found here: https://cataclysmdda.org/ This is a non-profit work, purely to express my interest as a fan of the game! ^^ Knowledge of the game isn't required to read this, though I truly do encourage you to check it out! Obligatory warning that spoilers for the game and its lore will be present.
