The world is being devoured by the Convergence. Choose a species, obtain its DNA, survive Project ZERO, and evolve to face what's coming.

Plot

SCIENCE FICTION · SURVIVAL · PROGRESSION CONVERGENCE: ZERO DNA ONE SPECIES · ONE DOSE · ONE LIFE FIRST EVENT A few weeks ago, the first Convergence Zone appeared. An entire territory changed. Impossible ecosystems. Unknown organisms. Evacuated cities. Thousands missing. FIRST HOURS · CONVERGENCE ZONE Animals invading the streets. Wildlife behaving in impossible ways. Emergency teams entering while thousands of people tried to leave. And that was just the beginning. Then another one happened. And another. No one knows what causes them. No one knows how to stop them. GLOBAL STATUS CONVERGENCE · DAY 43 INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONAL MAP Seven confirmed Events. And no one knows where the eighth will appear. EMERGENCY PROTOCOL PROJECT ZERO When humanity began to lose ground, several governments revealed a secret they had been hiding for years. An experimental Distill capable of integrating the DNA of a single animal species into a human being. PROJECT ZERO · INTEGRATION PROTOCOL The results are real. The deaths too. What was once too dangerous for large-scale use has become a potential survival tool. ONE SINGLE SPECIES. ONE SINGLE INTEGRATION. THERE IS NO SECOND CHOICE. ZERO provides the Distill. YOU HAVE TO OBTAIN THE DNA YOURSELF. THE FIRST WAR HAS ALREADY BEGUN WHICH SPECIES WOULD YOU CHOOSE? You can only choose one. The internet took hours to do the inevitable. TIER S Tiger · Bear · Gorilla · Crocodile TIER A Wolf · Eagle · Jaguar · Snake THE REST? Depends on who you ask. Videos. Rankings. Experts. Bets. DNA markets. Everyone wants to find the perfect species. ZERO STATEMENT "Tier Lists lack sufficient data." Size, strength, and danger DO NOT by themselves determine the integration potential. A tiger is strong. Anyone knows that. What no one yet knows is what a human being can do with the DNA of the millions of species evolution has designed. And there's another problem. Choosing a species is easy. OBTAINING ITS DNA MAY NOT BE. IF YOU SURVIVE THE INTEGRATION EVOLVE Surviving the Distill is only the beginning. EXP Fight. Survive. Explore. Overcome challenges. Everything you overcome can make you progress. LEVEL Accumulate EXP. Level up. Each Level grants new Adaptation Points. AP · ADAPTATION POINTS You decide where to invest them. Two people with the same species don't have to evolve the same way. GENETIC TREE Each species has its own tree of Adaptations. Branches. Requirements. Synergies. Hidden nodes. AFFINITY Being integrated doesn't mean you've reached your species' limits. How you use and develop its biology can open possibilities others will never discover. CONTROL Unlocking an Adaptation doesn't mean mastering it. Train. Experiment. Learn to control what you're becoming. RISK The deeper the Integration, the greater its possibilities may be. But evolving and remaining human will not always mean the same thing. There is no correct build. There's the one you manage to survive to build. THE WORLD WILL ALSO EVOLVE: POSSIBLE FUTURE... The Convergence continues to expand. Cities will fall. Others will survive, raise walls, and become Bastions. The first Integrated will change the war against the creatures of the Zones. Some will become heroes. Others, something much harder to classify. Recoverers, Academies, guilds, mercenaries, scientists, and new powers will be born. Some will want to control the Zones. Others will want to perfect ZERO. And there will be those who want to destroy every last dose. Humanity is not waiting to discover what will become of the world. IT'S LEARNING TO SURVIVE IN THE NEW ONE. BASTION EUROPE DC10 YEAR 10 AFTER CONVERGENCE (DC) Ten years may be enough for the extraordinary to become doctrine, profession, weapon, and way of life. By then, some Integrated will have taken their Adaptations much further than ZERO imagined possible. Others may no longer quite fit the definition of human. And certain ancient stories about beast-men, transformed heroes, and creatures that should never have existed in reality will start to feel too familiar. YOUR CHOICE IS IRREVERSIBLE YOUR SPECIES WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOU CAN BECOME. YOUR DECISIONS WILL DETERMINE WHO YOU END UP BEING. Choose your species. Obtain its DNA. Survive the Integration.

Opening scene

ZERO PROTOCOL ONE SPECIES. ONE DOSE. ONE LIFE. DAY 43 Forty-three days ago, the first Convergence territory appeared. 17 km² evacuated. 1,209 missing. The forest that now occupies part of the zone does not belong to any known ecosystem. Since then, six more Events have occurred. No one knows why. No one knows where the next one will be. YESTERDAY · INTERNATIONAL STATEMENT PROJECT ZERO Several governments have just acknowledged that for years they had been secretly experimenting with a Distill capable of integrating animal DNA into human beings. The results are real. The deaths too. What yesterday was too dangerous to use outside a laboratory is now an emergency program. Thousands of slots. Millions of applications. OFFICIAL NOTIFICATION PROJECT ZERO PRE-SELECTION ACCEPTED STATUS: PRE-SELECTED DOSE: PROVISIONAL RESERVE DEADLINE: 72 HOURS GENETIC SAMPLE: NOT PROVIDED The Distill will be provided by ZERO. THE DNA, NOT. PROCEDURE REQUIREMENT EACH VOLUNTEER MUST PROVIDE A VIABLE GENETIC SAMPLE OF THE SPECIES THEY WISH TO INTEGRATE. One single species. FOREVER. The internet, naturally, took little time to decide. ZERO TIER LIST 21.4M views S · "BROKEN" Gorilla · Tiger · Bear · Crocodile A · "META" Wolf · Lion · Golden Eagle · King Cobra · Rhinoceros B · "USEFUL" German Shepherd · Wild Boar · Peregrine Falcon · Puma C · "WHY?"

ZERO OFFICIAL RESPONSE "Strength, size, and danger do not necessarily determine integration potential." That's all they've said. No one yet knows the full trees. Choosing a tiger only requires a decision. OBTAINING ITS DNA IS ANOTHER MATTER. 72 HOURS Outside, the news announces the preventive evacuation of another town near a possible Event. In three days, you must report to the ZERO Center with a viable genetic sample. Your pre-selection has provisionally reserved a dose. If you arrive on time, the sample is valid, you pass the medical exam, and you accept the procedure, you will be able to receive the Distill. AFTER INTEGRATION ZERO will assess what you've become. The species, however, is your decision. FIRST DECISION DO YOU ACCEPT THE PRE-SELECTION? If you accept: WHICH SPECIES DO YOU WANT TO INTEGRATE? And how do you plan to obtain its DNA? 【 INTEGRATION 】 Species: None | Lv.1 | EXP: 0/100 Affinity: — | Control: — | AP: 0 Threat: Not evaluated | Status: Human Adaptations: None OBJECTIVE: Decide whether to participate. If you accept, obtain a viable sample within 72 hours.
