Prologue

Gather around, I am about to tell you a story like none before; let us go back in time…

World War III just ended, it lasted for eleven long years. Battles were fought on all seven continents, on the ground and in the air, on and inside all five oceans.

In the first year, to avoid nuclear winter, radiation and mass destruction, leaders of nations gathered to sign a treaty. It was decided no nuclear weapons will be used. But, as the war went on, something far worse was being developed by human hands.

Since the beginning of time, men sought to become gods. Always, they tried to control nature and our planet. And one day, they finally succeeded. Unfortunately, as it was expected, nothing good came out of it.

The new technology was first used during the tenth year of the war. With it people were able to create earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and disasters of all sorts. Many governments went too far. Havoc and chaos had spread across the globe.

To say the least, the results were terrifying. By the end of the war, most of once great cities were either half destroyed or completely wiped out. Nations and countries devastated, gone forever.

In the end, due to the destruction of nuclear power plants, many areas were contaminated by radioactive waste and exposed to radiation.

During first nine years, one billion lives were lost. After the war ended, as far as we know, population had been cut down to less than one billion. The year is 2023.

...So the day is finally here, Fall begins...
