    A virus raged wildly out of control, consuming the whole world, turning half of humanity into mindless zombies, and half of the survivors into a variety of new species known now as the inhumans. In the decades that followed, society slowly began to rebuild and reform around these new realities. Up until very recently, life on Earth could almost appear normal, if you weren't in a particularly dangerous area.
