As scarlet spores devour the world in the apocalypse, everyone else stockpiles weapons. I choose to open a bakery. Bound to the Brahma Baking System, my bread becomes the ultimate survival weapon: triple-cheese toast soothes the frenzied, matcha Basque cheesecake purifies spores, and pork-floss buns can briefly restore a zombie's humanity.
In this collapsing world, I travel with my mobile bakery, Hearthfire, rebuilding order with dough and frosting. Fungal beasts are bewildered by the aroma in my hands, while a bite of warmth rekindles hope in the survivors. When darkness engulfs everything, only the glow from the oven can light the final spark of civilization.
This is the apocalypse, and it is also my era of baking. I upgrade my shop and unlock recipes with Sweetness Points. I don't just sell bread: I sell the "tomorrow" that humanity scarcely dares to hope for amid despair.
