My name is Ashe, I am 22 years old and I am from the Netherlands. My family and I moved to Chernarus for a new begin in life, new job opportunities and new friends. We have been living here for a while now it was all good until the apocalypse started in 2019 in Chernarus, I was working in a grocery store, everything was normal until it happened. But I was prepared. I had a feeling that this was going to happen or maybe I have watched too many movies. Either way I was prepared. That day April 4th to be exact at 18:00. I saw a lot of people coming into the store, grabbing everything they could and leaving, like you see in movies. I heard someone yell “they are coming, the infected are coming” so I knew. When I went home I could not find my family but there was blood, which concerned me a lot. What if something happened to them, what if I was too late. It was chaos outside everyone was panicking, grabbing everything they could and filling their cars with it. They all tried to leave this place but many did not succeed, there were too many infected. I needed to wait a few hours maybe days for it to be quiet. I had to stay strong and hope that nothing bad happened to them although it was hard because there was a lot of blood. After a few hours it was quiet so I grabbed some stuff, a knife, food and some clothes so I could go out to find them. I walked around the block but I could not find them. It was getting dark so I had to go back home. At home I locked all the doors and shut all the curtains, I found some candles to light up so they wont be attracted to the lights. I tried cleaning the blood but I was scared that I would make noise so I stopped and laid in bed, hearing the infected scared me but I knew that they could not come in, I was safe for now. I thought of my family, I wonder what could have happened to them, and with that thought I fell asleep.

The next morning. I woke up to no sound so I looked outside. It was empty, no infected or anything else for that matter. I made some beans and drank something then I packed my bag and left to search again. Since they were not close I went further, to the city. On my way there I went to some stores, grabbed what was needed and left without attracting any infected. I do not want them to slow me down. On the nights I would pick a store and clear it out if it was needed and I would sleep there and continue the next morning. This went on for a few days until I arrived at the city, weird how I have not seen any of them yet, maybe they survived and the blood could be of one of the infected. I noticed that the city had more infected than in my hometown, this could be a problem. I tried to avoid as many as I could and I searched in some stores, I thought I could not find anyone so I just went on the roof of some store and just laid down. I fell asleep, so the next morning when I woke up I saw a lot of infected roaming in the streets and what I saw shocked me. My family between them, they had become infected. They did not survive this after all, after many night of hiding while griefing my family, I got it together and swore to take down all of the infected. They had taken everything from me so I would get revenge. My first goal was to take down 5k infected, next 10k and so on, until they were completely eradicated. I carry a crossbow with me, it makes no sound and I can get the bolt back. I started in the city, I cleared every shop, every street, rested and woke up early to go to another place so I could reach my goal. This went on for a few months until I met a group of strangers who had somewhat a similar goal + to help those in need, they had set up a camp nearby where they could treat the wouned or those who were hungry or just needed protection, everyone with a good heart was welcome, so was I. I stayed there for a few days to rest and eat after that I continued what I was doing. A young man joined me to get revenge as his family was also taken by the infected. Together we would go to as many places we could to eradicate them all. We would meet other people on the way, some were good and some were not, the good ones we would help and the other ones we would avoid if we could. We were unfortunately robbed once and I almost lost my crossbow, luckily they were more interested in food and roubles and let us go after, since then we have been very careful around other people to avoid another robbery. It was just the two of us then and now we have gained another member who joined to reach the same goal as us. The more the merrier, but they have to earn our trust first by answering 3 questions: how many infected have you killed? How many people have you killed? Why? By answering these questions you can almost always see what kind of person they are. We are a group of 3 people who has reached their first goal: to take down 5k infected and now we are onto the second goal: to take down 10k infected, on the way to eradicate them all.
