Survival of the fittest. It sounds like a simple thing to understand when you first hear it. That is until you are forced out into that concept. Once you are driven into it, it becomes real and a thing that you have to face just to make it through life. Though it seems rough at first, to us it is a way of life and has been for the past ten years.
For the longest time I was the only one around, or so it seemed. My name was Benjamin Lesion. Not much of a name and not one that many people could remember. It was just a normal kid and then it hit. I was only eight at the time and though it didn't seem real, it quickly took on it's real feel when I realized how alone I was.
In the year 2014, a new incurable disease was released into the world. Though at first it didn't seem to be too much of a problem, it quickly became a large one and when it became air born...that was when things really started to turn chaotic. This disease, name the FT Virus, wiped out most of the world in a matter of months. Now there are only three places to live and around fifty people alive. Slowly, these people are trying to start a new life after joining ranks together and becoming a united force. It's been ten years now since that unity. However, it is now a game of survival of the fittest and only those who are strong are able to move on to St. Lucian, the only real town that remains intact and was named after it's founder. The founder of this town is Lucian Rivers, aged 34, who took charge ten years ago and started gathering people to rebuild the world we once knew.
Once you leave the training facility which they've named Capston, you are forced to reside in Blackshire. Though it doesn't sound horrible at first and while you're at Capston you kind of dream of it being a better place, it's the worst kind of hell You are thrust into a jungle of abandoned buildings where you have to fight for what you want to claim. Though there are many stores and buildings with things still in them, it is a struggle. Now, I go by the name of Neils Dash and I am the eldest of people left in Blackshire. All I have to do it make it until this time next year and I'll be free. Free to live like the others in St. Lucian.
In this new world, we're all just... Losing The Feeling Of Feeling Unique.
