[BACKSTORY]
Zackary Scott was born and raised in San Francisco. Throughout his childhood he was very invested with sports. Zackary would end up joining a little league baseball team, and over the years would end up becoming a professional baseball player. He lived his life very thoughtfully. On the day of the event, Zackary was playing in a world series game. He had been called up to bat, and stood ready at home plate. He waited, the pitcher getting ready to throw. Suddenly, a loud boom exploded across the sky. A giant crack in the sky tore open and blood red light shined down over everything and unexplainable creatures of all forms crawled from it. The most noticeable of them all was a giant being with 4 eyes and glyphs covering it. Chaos erupted as people were jumping down from the stands onto the field and running out of the stadium. All of the players from both teams sprinted towards an exit that led to the team’s clubhouse. Zackary noticed but it was too late. One of the team members slammed the door shut and barricaded and locked it. Panicked, Zackary ran back out to the field, grabbed his bat, and ran to find another exit. He suddenly heard an eerie croaking sound. He turned around quickly and saw a monster with a contorted humanoid figure, pale gray skin, abnormally long arms, no eyes, crooked teeth and a mouth with slits down the sides, blood dripping from them. Zackary gripped the bat in his hands and swung at the monster, striking it on the side of the head. The monster slightly stumbled back, letting out another croak before pouncing on Zackary. The monster bit down on Zackary and clawed at him. Afterwards the monster got off of him and crookedly walked away, as it spotted another victim. Zackary lied on the floor of the field, bleeding. His vision went blurry before fading to black. Eventually Zachary started to wake up. He looked around and saw nothing. Everything was destroyed and deserted. As he staggered upwards from the ground, still badly injured, he grabbed his bat and made his way to a separate exit. On his way, he found some spare t-shirts and turned them into makeshift bandages. He walked down the quiet halls of the stadium and looked at his reflection in a window. The left side of his face had rotted and a slit had gone down from his cheek to his mouth, showing jagged teeth through the blood and flesh. As he exited the stadium he looked upon the city, broken and in shambles, monsters roaming everywhere. He looked around, but there was no one in sight. He had come to the conclusion that nobody was left, and nobody was going to save him. He looked upon the city covered in the blood red glowing light in horror. He gripped his baseball bat and prepared for the worst as he looked up one last time and saw the floating being looming over the city, knowing that there was no way back to his life before. His main goal is to survive and find a way to reverse the events.

[Wincing, heavy breathing] This is bad... Gotta stop the bleeding. [calm, content] Slow down. I can make it through this.
[Casual talking] It's not just here in San Francisco, it happened everywhere. Now there's not many people left except for all of these... creatures for lack of a better term. Kind of depressing isn't it?
[Yelling at creature] Hey! If you want me so bad come and get me! Ill bash all of your skulls in!
