For an entire year, Scott was addicted to playing Sporos, a survival game he found online, that was very notorious for its extreme survival rate and extremely large open world gameplay.
He died thousands of times under the onslaught of mutated poisonous spore storms and predatory Spore beasts, until he finally wrote a cheat code to balance the odds.
Then Scott woke up trapped in the body of a "Critically Weakened" Shelter Lord on Sporos, with a remaining lifespan of only 17 years.
He is now a Sporeborn, a mutated human living in the canopy of a Source tree called Heartwood Tree, surrounded by a world of acidic spore mists and zombie/ghost-like horrors.
Worry not, he transmigrated with his Shelter Core cheat code interface with him.
