Summer 2026, eleven at night. Billions of people around the world are fast asleep.
Red mist surges in from every direction, devouring every city and field as if it were alive.

They rise to their feet, eyes glazed white, blood trickling from their mouths as they let out bestial howls.
The age of global evolution has arrived in an instant.
