K's Diary

K's diary as it appears in Changed Classic.

K's Diary is a book that can be found in Dr. K's office. It is a firsthand account written by the doctor that sheds light on some of the events leading up to the Human's awakening, including the virus pandemic, the riot at the facility, and the doctor's transformation into the creature the protagonist meets.

Location

After you and Puro successfully defeat Dr. K and enter the next room, go through the door on the north side. Go to the right side of the next room and you will see the large black book placed conspicuously on the corner of the desk, to the left of the computer and chair.

Contents

A diary.

Almost all the pages are completely filled...

You picked out something important looking.

The infected people have no symptoms for a long time. However, in the late period, there are symptoms of paleness, exhaustion, etc. The structure of blood cells are changed by the virus in such a way that they cannot carry enough oxygen to live. It could be described as an extreme form of sickle cell disease (aplastic crisis). The virus is spread via the air and body fluids. Usually, animals and plants seem to be unaffected despite still being able to carry it.

The virus spreads with ease once animals are infected. They transmit it throughout themselves quickly.

It sounds like a work of science fiction, but the initial outbreak occurred at an Antarctic research station.

I sincerely hope we are not too late. We've only recently discovered its existence, but we suspect that it must be everywhere by now.

XXXX/XX/XX

Doomsday has come. Every country has been infected. Millions are dead and governments are collapsing all over the world.

It's all over.

However, they've created a shelter for rich and prominent people in society. I don't have such luck. Despite my efforts, I've been infected with the virus, too. I tried to take care of my family but they perished one by one...

Only the elite will live now...

I'm being sent to what is effectively a fortress of a laboratory on the border. I have nothing left to lose. I just hope I can make a difference.

My friends... my family... everyone... I'm sorry.

XXXX/XX/XX

It's happened. An explosion rocked the building. It wasn't hard to guess why. Hundreds, thousands, countless people have been surrounding the tower for days, demanding a cure.

They burst in, rushing and destroying everything they saw. They held up every person in their path and demanded they hand over the vaccine. Insanity. Now I understand why common men can't use the shelter.

They've breached another floor... they're climbing up and will likely arrive soon. My colleagues and I are trying to retreat upstairs. I've barred myself up in this room for now. I don't have much hope that I'll survive this. My time is running out regardless. Same for everyone else, I suppose...

XXXX/XX/XX

It worked. I've somehow managed to survive. I've been working fruitlessly for so long but I've finally done it. I'm alive.

When I woke up, I found myself alone. Bullet holes riddled the walls along with the unpleasant sight of the failed experiments everywhere. The corridors were absolutely filled with them. I don't know what idiot released them, but it certainly didn't help matters.

My new body feels a little strange, but it's nothing I can't get used to. From what I can tell, I'm the same mentally as well.

The "K" sample appears to have worked.

I needed to survive... The virus took everything from me but humans just destroyed our last hope.

Now I just want to live...

XXXX/XX/XX

After I awoke, I discovered that the few remaining countries had resorted to scorched earth tactics to try and destroy the virus. Each country sent its own UAVs to carpet bomb infected areas.

The particularity of the virus lies in its indiscriminate infection. It can infect humans, animals and plants alike. But the virus only negatively affects humans. We never discovered why exactly this is the case, but it's likely that it [is] because of unique human genetics.

Humans selfishly took extreme measures to try and destroy the root of the virus. For the sake of so few, they destroyed the planet even further. I am not a superstitious man, but it's almost as if nature itself is exacting revenge. However, the dying humans destroyed what's left of it, taking nature down with them. They want to deprive the ability for anything else to live, just so they have a chance. It's all so ridiculous.

XXXX/XX/XX

Humanity's only chance lies in those elites. As far as I know, no other humans are alive. I'm not even human myself.

But I still can't forget about those bastards...

They ruined it all. Nothing could be saved...

XXXX/XX/XX

I've released the animals. The environment appears to be stable enough to reintroduce the creatures. Progress has been astounding. The shelter program might actually succeed.

We created the flood, and created Noah's Ark too. Plants have started growing outside on the ruins. I planted a few on the balcony myself, but I don't know if they can survive out there yet.

Everything's in order. These pure, uninfected plants and animals will gradually recover the planet over time.

In a few years, this world will become lively again unless some infected plants or animals still exist somewhere. If these infect anything, all our efforts will be wasted.

But I doubt it.

XXXX/XX/XX

I have nightmares every night. Visions of my family... my friends... anybody... I'm losing it...

I need to find something to do. My attempts to contact the shelter have been fruitless. I can't safely reach the library from here either, I might be getting desperate enough to try.

XXXX/XX/XX

What the hell is this!? It's a pain in the ass to brush my hair all the damn time. Hair is getting everywhere. All of it is mine!

Sometimes staring at yourself in the mirror evokes really strange feelings. I've always loved animals since I was a kid, but now that I've become one, it feels... wrong. I've been one for years, but I'm still somewhat hesitant to accept it as... me, you know? Hell, I don't think I'd even call myself an animal. I'm something else entirely...

The remaining pages continue in this fashion.

Nothing particularly noteworthy.
