Zero Point

After a cataclysm turned the world upside down and blurred the line between purity and filth,

strange entities run rampant, mutations erupt, and pollution gives birth to new life.

The survivors willingly become beasts in cages and birds in captivity, locking themselves inside pens and enclosures.

They mutate to adapt, crossbreed and fuse. Human lives and dignity are all worth nothing.

The immortals and spirits fail to awaken to the truth and blame humanity; demons and monsters don't understand fate and resent the heavens.

“And we are foolish and childish, greedy and selfish.”

“Zero Ground”: A general term for the absolute origin of any massive disaster and for erasure to zero in the physical sense. It also refers to a reboot after a historical rupture, a total reckoning, and the reconstruction and rebirth of a new normal. It alludes to irreversible destruction and mutation, the primitive, ruleless and rootless, madness and derangement. It can also be seen as a complex symbol that bears collective grief and warns of the fragility of civilization.

[Please Note]

▼ The writing is amateurish, so please go easy on me about any logic issues.

▼ The protagonist is imperfect. No CP, no romance plot.

▼ The supporting characters have a chaotic mix of relationships and orientations.

▼ Lots of personal worldbuilding / letting loose / all kinds of kinks / terrible synopsis
