The old world ended in the year 2030.
Even before that, humanity had already marked the date as a turning point, a year that would define the future.
Nations raced toward greatness. They built towering cities of glass and light, crafted machines that defied nature, and reached beyond the sky to colonize distant planets. They forged drones that could hunt without mercy and nuclear weapons that could erase nations. But beneath the brilliance and pride, one truth burned in their minds.
The Third World War was coming.
And it did come. Just not in the way anyone expected.
Rifts tore open across the world, dimensional realms that spilled nightmares into reality. From them came Beasts, creatures unknown to man and unbound by logic or mercy.
Humanity fought back with everything it had.
Guns, missiles, drones and nukes.They all failed.
Cities fell, nations burned and in a matter of months, three-quarters of the human race was wiped out.
But extinction was not the end.
In the ashes of despair, something within humanity awakened. Men and women began to wield powers beyond reason, Awakeners, warriors who could stand against the Beasts.
They built fortress cities called Base States across the continent of Eros, humanity's final sanctuary.
Years passed, and from the chaos rose a single power that unified the survivors,
The Central Dominion of Humanity (CDH).
It rebuilt civilization. It restored order.
It promised safety…
But as centuries passed, that same Dominion became a gilded cage. A silent empire that ruled through fear, obedience, and control.
And so began the new era, An age where power decided truth, and the world's last survivors fought not only against monsters…
But against the very system that claimed to save them.
