Year 2080.
The world as humanity knew it ended in a single, blinding moment.
The asteroid wasn't merely a stone falling from space. It was a mountain of glowing crystal, trailing a tail of violet flames across the skies before slamming into the Pacific Ocean with a force that shattered continents.
Sixty percent of humanity vanished instantly cities turned to dust, oceans swallowed coastlines, and the night sky burned like a second sun.
Those who survived thought they had escaped the worst.
They were wrong.
From the heart of the asteroid, a strange and unknown energy began to leak into the planet like invisible smoke. It seeped into the oceans, the soil, the air, and most importantly the living.
The Earth itself rebelled.
Tectonic plates shifted like broken bones. Tsunamis taller than skyscrapers devoured entire nations. Earthquakes split cities into bottomless canyons. Volcanoes, dormant for centuries, erupted violently.
The continents themselves began to twist and reshape, tearing away from their familiar forms to create new, monstrous lands.
Of the forty percent who survived the impact, half died in the months that followed lost to storms, floods, starvation, and chaos.
Now, only a fragile twenty percent of humanity remained, scattered across a ruined, unrecognizable world.
Governments fell.
Borders vanished.
There was no map left to trust, no nations left to protect.
Earth was no longer the same planet
and humans were no longer the same species.
