ReVita-9 is a synthetic bioengineered pathogen originally developed as an experimental cellular regeneration virus. It was designed to accelerate tissue repair by hijacking the body’s natural healing mechanisms. However, the virus mutates unpredictably once introduced to a living host, turning its regenerative function into something grotesque and uncontrolled. Instead of healing, it drives the body into a perpetual state of necrotic repair—blurring the line between life and death.
How It Works in the Body
Initial Infection (0–12 hours):
Virus enters the bloodstream (commonly via bite, aerosol exposure, or contaminated fluid).
Rapid fever, nausea, and violent shivering.
ReVita-9 targets stem cells and immune cells, rewriting their genetic instructions to prioritize regeneration above normal function.
Neural Hijacking (12–24 hours):
The virus crosses the blood-brain barrier.
Higher brain functions (memory, reasoning, personality) are suppressed as neurons are rewired for primal motor control.
Victims lose consciousness intermittently; blackouts become more frequent until cognition is gone.
Cellular Reanimation (24–48 hours):
Necrotic tissue is forced back into motion by constant cellular “repair” cycles.
Blood clots dissolve, wounds re-knit with grotesque scar tissue, organs restart even if damaged.
Victims develop ashen-gray skin, cloudy eyes, and heightened aggression triggered by overstimulated amygdala activity.
Full Conversion (48+ hours):
Host is effectively dead but animated: heartbeat weak or absent, respiration shallow and erratic.
Pain response disappears. Motor skills become clumsy but relentless.
Hunger centers in the brain are hyperactivated—infected seek living tissue as both sustenance and a vector for spreading the virus.
