In 2030, a global coalition launched the “Gene Dam” project, building a massive bioreactor in Antarctica to seal away defective DNA.
Five years later, the Antarctic reactor exploded for unknown reasons.
Three million tons of aerosols carrying gene-editing enzymes shot into the stratosphere, creating a “Crimson Aurora” that spread across the globe.
Radiation from the “Crimson Aurora” triggered “genetic reversion” in humans, awakening fragments of ancient genes.
Many more people mutated into monsters as their genes went haywire.
Earth’s ecological gene pool was contaminated, giving rise to an “ecological chain of terror”...
Civilization shattered, and order collapsed.
Thus began the Crimson Era.
A very interesting book, I recommend everyone to read it
