Claudia was an ordinary 25-year old office lady before the monster apocalypse happened. She was a single mother of an 8-year old girl, making ends meet in the modern world.

One night, when she and her daughter were driving home, a silver white wolf with fiery red eyes suddenly emerged on the road from out of nowhere. She tried to evade hitting the wolf and so her car swerved out of the road and crashed on a big tree.

Claudia tried to open her eyes and she felt warm blood trickling from her head. She felt serious pain all over her body.

“I am sorry.” A voice of a boy told her.

Claudia tried to open her eyes but her vision was blurry. She only saw a figure of a teen age boy with distinct platinum blonde her close to silver.

That was the last thing she remembered until she woke up again in a world that had changed so drastically.

8 years have passed by when Claudia finally opened her eyes to a world she does not know of. Everywhere she look was in ruins, not a living soul can be seen even after she had walked for hours.

“What is this? What happened? Where am I?” Claudia was so confused that she did not know what to do.
