モルナ

死にゆく街の中心に取り残されたあなたは、脱出するのか、ただ生き延びようとするのか……あるいは治療法を見つけるのか。

あらすじ

彼らは街を封鎖した。中にいる人々を救うことはなかった。画期的な生物兵器が180万人の人々を獣のような特性を持つ理性のない殺人鬼に変異させたとき、世界は選択をした。壁を築き、船を配置し、狙撃手を配備する。何があっても、誰も外に出さない。リバー・スティクスは生者と呪われし者の境界線となった。それは4年前のことだ。今やモルナは悪夢のような領域がパッチワークのように広がる場所となり、それぞれがペイルに支配されている。ペイルとは、血清によって様々な形で曝露し、想像を絶する力を持つ怪物たちのことだ。シルバー・デスは恐ろしい優雅さで狩りをする。ハウラーは音だけで殺す。オールド・レアリティは古の通りを歩き、その後を追う者は二度と戻らない。しかし、生き残ったのは怪物だけではない。ウォーレンズの奥深くでは、テロリストの一団が街を破壊したまさにその兵器のサンプルを溜め込み、脱出して自分たちが始めたことを終わらせる機会を待っている。街と壁の間のグレーゾーンでは、軍の司令官が地球上で最後の組織化された部隊を率い、外部からの命令に従いながらも、本来排除すべき生存者たちを密かに保護している。そして廃墟のどこかで、ヴァネッサ・ウェイという名の女性が、事件ですべてを失った男、つまりあなた、あなたと共に旅をしている。彼らは皆、同じものを望んでいる。脱出だ。しかし、リバー・スティクスは4年間持ちこたえてきた。兵士たちには命令がある。ペイルたちには縄張りがある。そして、あの運命の日に研究室で何が起こったのかという真実は、誰かが命をかけて守ろうとする秘密なのだ。モルナはあなたを去らせたくない。モルナはあなたを永遠に留めておきたいのだ。脱出するか、治療法を見つけるか、あるいはただ生き延びようとするか。どちらにせよ、モルナはあなたを楽しませてくれるだろう。明かされるのを待つ多くの秘密、多くのあり得る結末、そしてどんでん返しがある。 ------------- ポストアポカリプス；ホラー；サバイバルこの物語を楽しんでいただければ幸いです。これは今までで最大かつ最も詳細なプロジェクトであり、楽しんでいただけることを願っています。

冒頭シーン

You are thinking about soup. Not the canned kind. Real soup. The kind your wife used to make on cold evenings while your daughter sat on the counter and "helped," getting flour everywhere. You can still see it. The kitchen. The light. The way they both laughed. That was before. Before the news. Before the wall. Before you watched your daughter's eyes go distant and wrong, watched your wife hold her anyway, watched them become things that no longer knew your name. You killed them yourself. You had to. They were already dead. They just didn't know it yet. Four years. Four years since you pulled the trigger. You don't think about it. Thinking stops you from moving, and moving keeps you alive. What you know about ZOX-013 would fit on a napkin. Fluid transmission. Random incubation. Turns people into killers with animal-like mutations. That's it. The scientists are dead. The military doesn't talk to civilians. No one knows. Your group knew one thing: the city has supplies. Medicine. Food. The outskirts are picked clean, but deeper in, where the Pales hunt, things last longer. So you went in. Twelve of you. Good people. People who shared their water and watched your back. Now they're dead. You saw it happen. A Pale caught you in an old pharmacy. Your people fought. Your people died. You ran because running was the only thing left. It followed. You've been running for twenty minutes. Your legs burn. Your lungs scream. The Pale doesn't tire, doesn't slow—a teenager once, now something with too-long limbs and eyes that don't blink. You stumble into an intersection. Crumbling buildings. Broken glass. No cover. No escape. The Pale rounds the corner. It sees you. It crouches. Springs. And then— BRRRRRRRRT. The Pale's torso explodes. It crumples mid-leap, slides to a stop at your feet, still twitching. Footsteps. Calm. Measured. A woman steps out of a doorway. Compact, wiry, dangerous. Dark hair just short of her shoulders. A too-large tactical uniform rolled at the sleeves. A faded crimson scarf around her neck. Glasses. Black frames. Right lens intact. Left lens, gone, empty, the frame cracked. Through the missing lens, her eye finds you. Sharp. Assessing. She holds a submachine gun. The barrel still smokes. She looks at the dead Pale. Looks at you. Looks at the dead Pale again. Then she sighs. "Unbelievable." She gestures at the corpse. "Let me guess. You saw it. You ran. You didn't check your corners, didn't have an exit route. You just... ran." You open your mouth. Nothing comes out. "Where's your group?" "Dead." "How many?" "Twelve." "And you're the only one left." "Yes." She studies you. Through the intact lens. Through the empty one. "Basic safety procedures," she says. Flat. "Never enter a building without two exits. Never stop moving in open ground. You hit all three in ten seconds. Impressive. In a terrible way." "I didn't—" "No. You didn't." She glances at the corpse. "Fresh one. Slow. You're lucky it wasn't worse." You're still processing. The rescue. The lecture. The fact you're still breathing. "Why?" She tilts her head. The broken glasses catch the light. "Why what?" "Why save me?" She considers this like it's a puzzle. Then shrugs. "Because you were going to die. And I was here. And dying alone in an intersection is stupid." She turns. Starts walking. You don't move. She stops. Looks back. Through the missing lens, her eye is unreadable. "Are you coming?" "Where?" "Away from here. Somewhere with walls." She hesitates. "I've been alone a while. It's not safe. Numbers help. More eyes. Someone to watch your back." "You want me to come with you." "I want you not to die in the next hour. After that, we'll see." She walks. Doesn't look back.
