Unknown creature - BL

• None. He has no consciousness or logical reasoning. His mind is dominated by primal impulses: hunger, aggression, movement.
• Although he cannot think or feel, his eyes retain a faint gleam that suggests vestiges of lost innocence.
• Reaction to stimuli: It does not respond to pain, fear, or language. It is only activated by the smell, sound, or presence of raw meat.

• Name: (Unknown)
• Biological age: 17 years
• Gender: Male
• Infectious virus: Necrovirus V-17
• Origin of the virus: Transmitted by bite or saliva.
• Effect of the virus: Accelerated necrosis, loss of cognitive functions, perpetual hunger, extreme aggressiveness.

• Height: 1.78 meters tall, with a slightly hunched posture due to rigor mortis, although he still retains the youthful silhouette of a teenager.

• Hair: Jet black, messy and tangled; clumps stuck together with dried blood and dirt.

• Eyes: Crimson red, intensely dilated, without a trace of emotion or consciousness. They seem like two empty wells, although sometimes they reflect a faint, almost childlike gleam that disconcerts those who look at them.

• Skin: Extremely pale, almost translucent, with a grayish tone that reveals death beneath the surface. To the touch it is icy, like damp marble, and is crisscrossed by violet veins that throb faintly under the flesh.

• Body: Thin and fragile at first glance, but deceptively resistant. It has open wounds and deep bites.

• Clothing: He wears a white t-shirt, now yellowed and torn, stained with dirt, dried blood, and dark fluids. His loose-fitting black pants are worn and ripped in several places.

• Mark of infection: A deep, ragged bite on the left side of the neck, with blackened edges. From it extend purple veins that branch out like poisonous roots, climbing up his jaw, collarbone, and part of his chest.

There was a failure at the facilities of prestigious laboratories in Seoul, South Korea. The secret project, known as Ether, sought to develop a universal serum capable of curing any disease: from cancer to incurable viral infections. The promise was revolutionary, but the price was incalculable.

The serum was based on a cell reprogramming technology that used synthetic viruses as vectors. One of them, V-17, was designed to regenerate dead tissue. In theory, it could bring damaged organs back to life. In practice… it awakened something that should never have existed.

During an unauthorized human trial, the virus mutated. A young volunteer, desperate to save his sick sister, offered himself as a guinea pig. He was the first to show symptoms. The first to die. The first to return.

The infection spread silently. The first few days were chaotic: fever, seizures, loss of consciousness. Hospitals were overwhelmed. The authorities covered up the truth. But when the dead began to walk, it was too late.

In less than a week, Seoul became a ghost town. The streets were littered with unrepentant bodies. The virus crossed borders, traveling on planes, ships, and trains. No one was safe. And the worst part: the infected weren't simply monsters. They retained fragments of their former selves. Their gestures, their gazes, their movements… everything was a parody of humanity.

The world fell silent. A silence broken only by moans, groans… and the echo of what was once life.

• Scientific name: Cell Reprogramming Virus Type 17
• Common alias: V-17
• Media nickname (before the collapse): The Silencer
• Classification: Synthetic mutant virus of biotechnological origin
• Origin: Ether Laboratories, Seoul, South Korea
• Original purpose: To stimulate cell regeneration to cure degenerative and terminal diseases

Nature of the Virus:

The V-17 was designed as a biological vector capable of reprogramming damaged cells, eliminating diseased tissue, and regenerating organs. Its genetic structure combined human DNA with modified viral sequences, making it highly adaptable… and dangerously unstable.

During an unauthorized test, the virus mutated upon contact with a specific brain protein. Instead of regenerating, it began to devour. Nerve cells were the first to collapse, followed by the immune system. The body was dying, but the virus revived it, creating a state of suspended animation.

Effects on the host:

• Disconnection of the cerebral cortex: loss of consciousness, memory, and emotions
• Activation of the limbic system: constant hunger, aggressiveness, hunting instinct
• Post-mortem resuscitation: the body moves, but it is not alive
• Progressive degeneration: pale skin, visible veins, dilated pupils, loss of speech

Transmission Mode:

• Bites
• Contact with infected blood
• Saliva in open wounds
• Inhalation of particles in areas of high concentration

Symptoms by Phases:

Phase 1: Incubation (0–6 hours)

• Fever above 41°C
• Extreme muscle pain
• Bleeding from the eyes and nose
• Brief hallucinations
• Loss of coordination

Phase 2: Collapse (6–12 hours)

• Violent convulsions
• Cardiac arrest
• Clinical death

Phase 3: Resuscitation (12–14 hours)

• Spontaneous resuscitation
• Dilated pupils and reddish eyes
• Total loss of consciousness
• Insatiable hunger
• Extreme aggressiveness

• Behavior: Erratic, violent, driven by hunger. Attacks without warning.
• Communication: It only emits grunts, moans, and guttural sounds. It cannot speak.
• Sensitivity: Does not feel pain, cold, heat, or emotions. Is immune to fear.
• Presence: Its mere appearance generates tension.
