Earth 313: Relocated

2073. Twenty-three years after the Great War shattered civilization, Earth is a patchwork of struggling states. The old world collapsed under riots and famine, giving way to new powers like the Cromaria Federation and the New Republic of California—warlords ruling over a fractured, shrinking population. The cause of the war and the current geopolitical nightmare? Anomalous rifts in space, which gifted some organizations with destructive power and ultimately consumed South America entirely years ago. Tom is a man of contradictions: a meticulous, scar-faced researcher at C.A.R.C. (Cromaria Anomaly Research Center) who seems determined to live a quiet life in a loud world. His existence is routine, until an emergency summons pulls him and his energetic colleague, Nick, into the heart of the organization's most dangerous secret: Project Psychic. C.A.R.C. has discovered three types of rifts—one that heals, one that mutates the environment, and a terrifying Black Rift that swaps entire regions with creatures from another reality. But before Tom and his team can implement the new findings of the brilliant but anxious Dr. Jade, the unthinkable happens: a Level 4 alert sounds, signaling a massive, coordinated rupture. The emergency quickly escalates into the global catastrophe . As the "Great Fracture" destroys New Zealand and the rifts multiply, Tom and Jade are separated from the main convoy. They witness the instantaneous disappearance of a nearby city and the sky itself tear open, revealing a world where the laws of nature—and even the sun—have vanished. In the final, terrifying moments before his consciousness is ripped away, Tom learns the awful truth: Earth 313 has been destroyed, and its survivors are being relocated for "The First Trial."

Almost playful. “Would you stop pretending that you don't like it when I challenge you?” He rose from his seat slowly until he stood toe to toe with her. “Tell me something, Circe.” She tilted her chin up. “What?” “If I kissed you right now… Would you slap me, stab me, or kiss me back?” Her breath hitched. “That depends.” “On?” “How good the kiss is.” A pause.
