A Student Wants to Live

I'm a college student who watched with my own eyes as the world descended into hell. A Dark Sphere arrived on Earth, turning half the planet into zombies. They thrive on killing us—people—as every kill fuels their development and makes them stronger. Besides zombies, there are also mutants—mutated animals—plus monsters: bizarre creatures in possession of striking strength and abilities. Levels, skills, new yet unheard-of objects…our world has changed.

I am Andrew First, Leader of the Architects Clan. We've managed to leave Novosibirsk, where the zombies and mutants are becoming stronger and more numerous by the day. Our goal now is to found our own city. But there are many other groups of survivors besides us, and every one of them wants to get the best spot for themselves. We've fought against zombies, fought against mutants, fought against monsters. Can it really be that now we're going to have to aim these weapons at other people?

I'm Andrew First, leader of the Architects Clan and the city of Sangis. A million-strong horde of zombies will soon reach the borders of our lands. No clan on Earth has so far encountered such a threat. There are few who believe we have a chance here, but I refuse to give up. The Architects will face these zombies, and we will defend our city!

While I’ve been cooling my heels in Africa, things have been happening at a furious pace back home. Zombies have founded a city right next to mine, and the nearest human settlements are now united and busy sharpening their knives. Meanwhile, traitors weave their webs of intrigue within the Architects Clan itself, and a numberless horde of zombies is moving relentlessly toward us from China. And these are just some of the problems I’m going to have to solve as soon as I get home.

I'm Andrew First, Leader of the Architects Clan. I founded the City of Sangis, and it’s grown so much that it's now become a nation of its own. Together with my friends, I was able to build a place of safety in this post-apocalyptic world. We've been attacked by zombies, monsters, and people—but we've managed to fight off all of them. But it seems the Dark Sphere doesn't want to leave us in peace. It's announced that there's going to be a LEVEL RUN!

There are 36 hours left until the end of the Level Run. Only the top three finalists will have the chance to meet with the Dark Sphere and request its help. I'm fifth. And I need to make it into the top three. Because that's the only way I'll be able to save Anya.
