The Start

The bustling streets just an hour ago had gone quiet after the news had spread worldwide of the major catastrophe that shook into the minds of many.

Now everyone wore a mask to keep themselves safe or at least make an attempt to keep their lives longer, a small cough from one person would immediately bring panic to the others that surround them.

Doctors do their best to keep everyone alive and safe. All scientist going around their workplace doing their best to find a cure or a vaccine at the very least to keep the virus from spreading.

The source of it all was still a mystery, the government issuing people to stay in their household and await for further updates, the whole world was on lockdown and the continuous rise in panic buying from the citizen brought a great issue in the world's economy.

Some began to protest about the condition they were put in and others stay in the dark, keeping quiet in hopes that they would not get caught in the cross fire.

After years of no answer or cure, the virus eventually evolved and turned the sickly people to attack other. It had spread to their minds and brought out their fear of dying and in desperate need to continue living which snapped their instincts to attack and protest, they creatures that infect others with a single bite much like the things which we call 'zombies', however they were called Ravages, in short they are called 'Raves'.

People fought the best they can to hold of this creatures or monster who were once humans, the military lost a lot of it's man power as they grew tired and restless in battle and the endless sacrifices they had to make for the future of humanity

This continued on for 3 years until the government issued a new policy to live underground, this was supposed to be a temporary solution, However, as years dragged on, people were still stricken with fear that the virus in the surface was still in the air, so they had long forgotten how they used to live in the surface and now wish to continue living underground.

Their cities grew in number and soon the whole world was full of life again, flourishing and progress like before, however, the surface also began to evolve, and new life forms had long invaded the lands in the surface and the Raves continue to roam the lands above.

Few Raves would try to get through the entrances of underground cities due to starvation and some abnormal/stronger than the average Rave were sometimes successful in getting pass the entrance but they would not make it far to get to the cities due to the sacrifices that the military made.

A few engineers also build new military equipments and artilleries to help fend off the creatures that lurk from the surface.

The military had gained a new branch called hunters, they were given tasks to go to the surface and investigate and go on searches for a clue that could be useful in developing a cure.

The hunters had also made several attempts to reclaim the surface, but none had ever been deemed successful, most thought that it was hopeless to go back to the surface and gave up on dreaming to ever go back to their old lives.

It wasn't always peaceful underground as notorious criminals roam the streets and the number of crimes were growing, and the police do their best to ease the tension, but it was a tough problem to deal with so the equipments were upgraded to something that was like out of sci-fi movies, it was cool looking, yet it still strikes fear in the hearts of others.

The rich, however, were living their best lives as they were separated from all the commotion and lived off in the more quiet places away from the dangerous parts of the city, in an expensive looking penthouse.

This division had caused more commotion coming from the lower classes as they protest, wanting to be treated equally with the higher classes. There were still those whoe keep quiet and accepted their ways of living in some parts of the neighborhood but their peace never last forever some would become victims to burglary and murder
