A Wicked Child's Requiem
The world ushered in an apocalypse. At first, it was humans uniting to drive away the virus, but bit by bit, they still couldn't hold on--a cure wasn't found until Ellis was the last human standing.
Then, oceans dried, trees and plants withered, and when Ellis finally eradicated the last of the virus--there wasn't anything else in the world except the mountains of corpses and the unending wasteland.
Perhaps, the gods finally glanced to this abandoned world for the last time and took a pity to the last human creation they had and sent Ellis in a world different from her own. A world of swords and magic, in the body of an orphaned child.
"Dad--"
"I'm not your father."
"Oh--then, you, could you please tell me a bed-time story?"
Ellis-- now Ruth--'s mission in this world, is to be a perfectly normal child. Or so she dreamed.
