Lycani
It all began when the war began. But this war wasn't for territory or because of political reasons. No, it was a war for mankind.
The year was 2020 when reports of an unidentified creature with a slender black body began appearing in central Africa. If we would've just listened.
The creature were not a problem at first, but one day they attacked, in big numbers. 6 months later, the whole Africa was painted in the colors of death and waves of refugees fled to Europe or Asia.
By making their threat know , the creatures were market as a threat and a extermination operation began, but when the army arrived they were ambushed.
The creatures were not bullet proof , but their bodies were not solid, they were made of a strange substance that allowed them to pass through holes and small cracks in order to reach their goal.
The first army was decimated in less than an hour , after that the whole EU , Russia and even some Arabic states declared war on them. But when the United Army arrived they were greeted by a whole army of them, how and when they reproduced was unknown, but it was fast and their numbers were far greater, the army fought as hard as they could, the creatures were going at them aimlessly and the army thought they had a chance to take back Africa, but something unexpected caused their defeat.
One of the creatures morphed into what looked like an animal and attacked, it was far stronger than the average ones, more appeared and the army lost , no survivors.
2 years later , the creatures had been analyzed and a weakness was discovered, they possess a core that acts as their mind and soul , further research showed that the creatures have in fact a hived mind, meaning that they're all connected and they receive orders from a queen.
But even this knowledge couldn't do much, the creatures attacked the EU , they could easily swim across the water and their assault was carefully planned. Once it saw the threat those things posed , more nations joined the war, the whole world was now at war.
3 years later since the event known as world War 3 or The Black Extinction began, the creatures were killing any human on sight and some consumed animals and morphed , exactly like in Africa.
A name was chosen for them, Lycani , creatures with animal characteristics. The humans fought with all they had, but problems appeared inside the society as well.
The resources began depleting , antibiotics and other necessary meds became expensive and only the rich could afford them, leaving the poor at the mercy of diseases , this caused the population to drop drastically and humanity decided to retreat .
3 fortress cities were build far away from the front as possible, with the creatures getting closer by the day , humanity pushed its limits in the last 5 years , but it made it.
The population of the planet counted less than 1 million humans left , but now the 3 cities were done. Rising to the sky's the last of humanity resides in them.
But humanity remained divided by money. The cities were split in 3 main districts.
The marble district: where the rich reside
The stone district: where the average population lives
The gravel district: where the rest of the population lies.
The Lycani ruled the world, but the humans were constantly sharpening their skills. Each City had a place where the ones called "The Hopes" were being trained , Academy's , where humanity puts most of its hopes.
Now, 40 years later since humanity retreated behind the walls of the 3 great cities. Earth was in ruins, overgrown grass and trees was everywhere, but there's a change in the air. A new storm is coming that shall either clean the earth or sink it deeper into this chaos.
