Synopsis
Blurb: This is the story of a death- courting, socially inept lab genius who created a regenerative serum-one that sparked a mass extinction of mankind, but left him, ironically, an immortal with healer-type twist. By his side is an assistant- relentlessly devoted, disturbingly possessive- who used nepotism to stay close to him. His only goal? To keep the genius alive, selfishly, desperately... obsessively. Can he still court death, with obsession breathing down his neck and the world rotting around them? "He, who could heal, chose a scythe. And he, who destroys, chose a shawl." A tale of decay, desire, and denial. Socially inept lab genius × Opportunistic nepo baby

Chapter 1 - Prologue

I know how it started, in fact, I may be the reason how it all exploded, but I don't want to know how it'll end. – Linc

It all started with a mistake.

Nothing major. No explosion.

Just a single drop of blood in a beaker full of chemicals.

Until its ashes seeped through.

It became something else.

Something out of this world.

Something no human should know.

Something that rewires your biology—

and haunts you like a nightmare.

Now, its ashes spread.

Humans are no longer safe.

And Earth edges closer to its end.

The infection, spreaded like wildfire—

twisting flesh into bloom,

birthing monsters where people used to be.

Civilizations rot. Nature reclaims.

And humanity, as we know it, collapses.

***

Asmerye Linc de Soria—

the genius pharmacologist.

The Modern Alchemist.

Son of two renowned scientists from the Solandis Corporation.

Aloof. Detached. A lab-dwelling enigma obsessed with decay-and its stillness.

But would you expect him to be the foundation of the virus?

The first to witness the planet's demise?

In desperation, he did what he thought was best.

He drank the formula. The very root of the virus.

But even if you erase the source...

can you ever wash away its ashes?
