Ashen Requiem

Chapter 1: Prologue I : The Fall of Humanity



The world didn’t explode. It rotted from the inside, like a tongue bitten until it bleeds—never truly torn out, just left to fester.

The great nations faded one by one—not through nuclear war, nor through a virus, but through the ugliness of mankind.

There was no more France, no America, no China—only Zones : Safe Zone,PurifiedZones and UnstableZones. The world was rebuilt from scratch by bloodstained hands.

England, master of industries and the last bastion of monarchy, collapsed when its dams were swallowed by the rising sea.

The United Arab Emirates, holder of incalculable wealth thanks to the black gold of the desert was reduced to extreme poverty when their reserves were exhausted and the emergence of new and ecological energy, the apocalypse was as if to definitively end their reigns.

The United States, a technocratic superpower, fell beneath the weight of its own paranoia—its AIs deeming all human life a primary threat a crisis pushing citizens of the country but also those of the world to exceed their limits, equipping themselves with implants to fight for decades.

Following the Great Fall, a global coalition emerged.

The World Government—a hybrid entity made up of former leaders, megacorporations, and religious orders—rose as the sole authority.

Its mission ? Manage the remaining resources, protect the last zone, eliminate all threats—Awakened, mutants, heretics.

Behind the scenes, it became inseparably linked to the New Church, birthing a new world order guided by dogma, fear, and artificiel light.

The world today is divided between the Bastions of Light—technocratic theocratic fortresses under Global Government control—and the No Man’s Land, where the law of the strongest reigns.
