Prologue - The Beginning
It has been three years since the attack.
It all happened on November 24, 2042. And it was on that day the Hacker group, who called themselves Zero, launched an attack on a global scale. By that time, it was common to have a ‘helper bot’ to assist in and around the house, to make life easier. But Zero had come along and launched a virus that successfully turned every helper bot into a killer.
At first, we did not think much of it: there were some bots affected by the virus, and they started to attack humans. But we managed to control it. And, really, there was damage-limited and procedures in place to prevent any significant spread of the problem—wasn’t there?
But after a while longer, more and more bots started to become affected, and slowly they started to overrun us. They started to develop a mind of their own. They learned to use weapons, how to manipulate humans, how to take control—and all of this spanning the globe.
They say that even the hacker group did not expect things to become so big, to get so out of hand.
The bots slowly and systematically started to kill every living thing they could find.
We began to call them KBs—Killer Bots.
Since then, three years have passed, and the KBs managed to wipe out around three-quarters of the entire human population. Now, the only thing left for humans to do is try to survive. Sure, we have some resistance groups scattered around the areas, but all they can do is perform small operations to give the KBs a hard time. But in the end, the KBs always win.
Most of the big cities and villages are abounded now. The KBs rule every urban area there is.
So most people have retreated to the forests and sewers. Those places are hard to reach.
But this means no electricity.
No infrastructure.
And food and water sources are scarce.
In this world, only one thing matters.
Surviving.
