The earth trembled as the skies darkened, clouds of smoke and ash blotting out the sun.
The 21st century marked humanity's reckoning—a time when nature, long scorned and abused, rose with unrelenting vengeance.
Towering trees, once homes to chirping birds and whispering winds, now stood as blackened skeletons of a forgotten paradise. Wildfires roared like beasts, devouring everything in their path until even the horizon burned red.
Volcanoes, long dormant, erupted with cataclysmic fury, their molten veins painting the skies with blood and ash. It was as if the planet itself screamed in agony.
Landslides swallowed towns in seconds. Earthquakes split megacities like paper. Tsunamis, dark and monstrous, consumed coastlines in mere heartbeats. And in the north, blizzards howled like spirits of judgment, turning cities into frozen tombs.
Humanity watched helplessly as its empires crumbled. Antarctica wept, its ancient glaciers melting into a rising sea that devoured cities like New York, Mumbai, Tokyo, and London.
The death toll was uncountable. Once over 8 billion strong, mankind was reduced to just 5 billion souls—scattered, broken, and afraid.
Then came the change.
From the melting heart of Antarctica rose a forgotten land—untouched, uncharted, unholy. And with it, a pulse. A whisper in the air. Aura. A force not of this world, vibrating with power that resonated with the very essence of life. Those exposed to it… changed. Muscles surged with strength. Senses sharpened beyond nature's laws. Minds opened to ancient knowledge. Evolution had a new name.
But power breeds conflict.
By the dawn of the 23rd century, the world fractured into two super-factions: The Eastern Front—China, India, Russia, Japan, and Korea. And The Western Alliance—America, Britain, France, Italy, Brazil, and Germany. Nations once allies became bitter enemies. War ignited, not with bombs and bullets, but with fists that shattered mountains and minds that bent the elements.
Blood was spilled. Cities turned to battlefields. Hope teetered on extinction.
Then, just as the final curtain threatened to fall, something changed. The strongest warriors. The sharpest minds. The last of the world's heroes—came together. Not for war, but for purpose. They formed the First Exploration Division, tasked with uncovering the truth behind Aura and the ancient ruins whispering secrets lost to time.
The age of ruin was ending.
The age of awakening had begun.
