Rooted: Part I

A Villager’s idyllic life is shattered when marauders raid his home and enslave his family, forcing him to flee into the surrounding jungle where he stumbles across a hidden grove with a tree bearing strange fruit. Half-starved and wounded, the Villager picks a fruit and eats it, which transforms his body into something more than human, endowed with the power to save his village.

But as his desire to save his people becomes twisted by hate and rage, the Villager finds himself being consumed by more than just a thirst for revenge...
