The world is what is considered normal from an overall perspective with the problems any place has hidden around. It may not seem it but the world is calm. But in China something was beginning, something which would affect and span across the world due to a singular scientists great mistake. Disruption China suffered from a problem of an overwhelmingly elderly population and these people for the most part do not work. 7 years ago a Doctor from England named Mark Smith was hired by the Chinese government due to his expertise and genius in his field of science and understanding of the human body. Smith was hired for darker reasons than the world would know, but they were not reasons he disagreed with. Having no family left and his only friends in England being work ones out of a mutual benefit he moved...
