1 Prologue

You know, it's hard to believe that the world hadn't always been like this.

Once upon a time, it was teeming with life, vibrant and full of promise.

We had bustling cities, breathtaking landscapes, and a future brimming with hope. But now, everything has changed.

We found ourselves in the aftermath of an apocalyptic event, a world undone by its own ignorance.

Some say it's mankind's fault, that our insatiable greed and disregard for the environment brought us to this breaking point. And perhaps there's some truth to that. We exploited the Earth's resources without pause, poisoning the air we breathed and the water we drank. We pushed the boundaries of nature without considering the consequences.

Yet, as the years rolled on, the signs of strain became increasingly apparent. The climate shifted, natural disasters grew in intensity, and species began to disappear at an alarming rate. We ignored the warnings, dismissing them as inconveniences or fearing the consequences of change. We were blind to the fact that we were slowly eroding the very foundation on which we stood.

And then it happened. The breaking point. The world rebelled against our mistreatment, unleashing its fury upon us. Earthquakes shook the ground, storms ravaged the land, and diseases spread like wildfire.

Our civilization crumbled, and we found ourselves struggling to survive in a world that had turned against us. In a world where monsters hunt us and the government treats it like a game.
