Sorry if idk how I can make it clearer but, if your sensitive to these types of stuff, please keep scrolling
This Phighting au I am making is about Subspace rot and how it became a infection, the first infected, is Subspace, he is Patient 0,what happened to cause this?
Well, it all started with Subspace overhearing some scientists mentioning how they couldn't wait for when Subspace was disposed of, since soon he'll be of no use to Blackrock lab, after overhearing this, caused Subspace to spiral, he thought of ways to be able to get rid of this rot, so he'd have a longer life span and not be disposed of so early on. Which made him go into a obsessive research of a cure, he first started with mold, trying to revert moldy fruits back to it original state as a start, and slowly moving up to decay, trying to perfect the serum, but he left out one detail, rotting was inevitable, so when the time came when he finally perfected the serum, it backfired instead. Whatever toxin contain inside his body, mix with the serum and cause mutations. Similarly to VineStaff "curse" of turning into a tree, well, Subspace turn into a great lump of rotting flesh that sprouted and grew similarly to a tree, with pulsing veins and everything. The heart is located in his chest still beating, and the root of the whole tree, Subspace is no longer able to control his gear, and therefore the Biografts that are power by this crystal, either shutdown or go completely haywire and start killing staff. Making so the facility start be coming a massacre and that helped the rot be able to slowly expel spores to infect the dead and mutate them. Currently this rot is only residing in Blackrock and hasn't spread yet. And with the cold, the infection is at least slowed down, but the smell is strong thanks to the heating inside the building of the facility, the rot also has some sort of intelligence, which mean, it can learn.
Creator note: Yeah this took a while to make, but it was fun making it, not sure if I'll commit to this, but it a good start, more than that I do have a concept art of this grotesque tree that simpler, hope y'all like this au :], and it inspired by all those MLP infection aus
