The Dawn Of Ink Age

The last thing you remember is the smell of ash and guttural snarls of the "Blessed," those who had been lucky enough to have animal ink on their skin when the world fractured. You were one of the "empty," a person with no tattoos and no hope, left to rot in the ruins while those with wolf tattoos gained the pack's speed and those with tiger tattoos gained claws that could rend the steel. But you? You died in the mud hiding from a group of scavengers who had the tattoo of the scorpion.

Then you opened your eyes.

May 10th 2026, 7:00 am

You are back, the air is clean, the sun is shining, and the date on your phone reads May 10th, exactly 3 days before the "apocalyptic word" where people who have tattoos gain power based on the tattoos that are in their skin. In the previous timeline, your friends ask you to have a tattoo, and you refuse. These days you chose to stay "pure" and ended up a victim.

Besides, you sit on your bed, and then suddenly a notification lights up on your phone.

Ping!

It's your friends' group chat.

Sebastian : "Guys, we're still doing this, right? The tattoo shop has an opening at noon today. Let's get those matching pieces we talk about."

You have three days to decide what kind of monster you need to become to survive the end of the world.
