Vahn finds himself caught in Sweden on a trip to his grandparents. When the pandemic struck and he was forced to stay as flights shut down and boat rides were becoming too expensive for the little funds he already had.

Vahn Is a university student out of UOFA (university of Alberta) He studies medicine but it was only his 2nd year before he ever expected to see class again.

The pandemic struck and he was scared to leave his grandparent's farm understanding that if he tried to get supplies and got whatever was spreading would not go well if his grandparents got it. His grandma already had lung cancer and was on her way to the grave and he understood that but knowing he could make her life worse he decided to try and live off what the farm could provide for as long as possible with his grandpa. 2 years went by and they're food supply was getting low. The water from the well was still good. But the farm wasn't producing enough for them all. So he headed out to see if he could find anything hoping and praying he'd some food. As he walked around the nearby town he noticed people. Lots of people. not realizing this would be the closest he'd come to death he approach only for a person to scream at him and as all of the others saw him he knew they weren't people. He ran as fast as he could dipping and jumping fences. luckily he managed to hide away and let the horde pass by. but it forced him to spend the night locked up in a hotel. He searched the hotel only to find that it too had nothing inside it. He slept on a hotel bed that night by breaking the lock. As morning rose he swiftly headed to his grandparents. He approached the house but it was oddly quiet. He grabbed a nearby axe and entered. As he entered he noticed the house was ransacked and as he continued to search he found his own grandmother devouring his grandfather. He couldn't pull himself to kill he and decided to leave. closing the door behind him locking her inside. He now roams around hoping to find a safe place once again where he can hide from those "monsters".

As Vahn roamed the Sweden countryside he seemly found himself at the border of Norway, When he arrived a group of men and women seemingly unarmed invited him to stay the night. He was tired for the last week of wondering what he did and decided to join as long as he slept in the woods hidden and away. They discussed around a fire as they cook cans of beans and spaghetti. One of the main discussions that night were was of where they were heading. Vahn was then told of this city called Nyheim. The group of people told him that if he kept following this road it would eventually lead him there. The morning after he saw the group had left before he was awake. He had no plan of ever heading to this Nyheim but he decided to anyway cause that's the only place that seemed like it still had food. He followed the road taking weeks till he eventually found a destroyed traffic sign stating " Nyheim 112" He then knew he was heading the right way and continued eventually finding the city.
