Year 2022

In META City, a Portal suddenly appears in the city’s center. People are shocked, anxious, happy, and scared, a whole mismatch of emotions is boiling around. Army and police create a special operations territory around the Portal.

The government tried to hide it from the public, but they failed…just like in everything Couple days after the portal appeared, a Capsule went through We got promised a better life, a life without suffering and struggle. We received a note and an unusual liquid (MRP2223)

The note from the Portal read: “make this liquid into a vaccine and we, the future promise to cure whole humankind from any and every disease”.

The whole world was shocked; Portal became a political topic. Demonstrations, speeches, and rallies erupt globally.

The whole world was shocked; Portal became a political topic. Demonstrations, speeches, and rallies erupt globally. Pro and Anti Vaccine alliances are formulated.

After six months of tests, WHO (World Health Organization) and the Center for Disease Control hold a joint briefing, confirming the vaccine’s safety and urging everyone to take MRP2223. Initially voluntarily, and later mandatorily.

The vaccine proved its efficiency and changed global sentiments towards MRP2223 within first three months. As a result, WHO concluded its mission and was closed as there was no health-related issue worldwide. First time in the history of humankind, people stopped dying.

The year 2023 proved to be a year of change. Exactly on one year anniversary of vaccination commencement, people started to experience strange symptoms. The skin was peeling, constant bleedings, blood color changes, and evident visual transformations. Within three days from the first symptoms, regular Joes were becoming Mutants.

Right about this time was when Portal opened. What that meant, nobody knew, and nobody cared to be honest. Humanity was facing far more significant problems than finding a reason why Portal opened.

Mutants were roaming on the streets; financial markets collapsed, suicide rates hit an all-time high, criminality hit record highs, global famine left people malnutrition, and most of the unvaccinated died from viruses and related hazards. Faith & purpose was lost.

Year 2023

Mutants were roaming on the streets; financial markets collapsed, suicide rates hit an all-time high, criminality hit record highs, global famine left people malnutritioned, and most of the unvaccinated died from viruses and related hazards.

What triggered the Apocalypse remained mystery…

The world we once knew was gone…

Faith & purpose was lost…

See you in the Future

Welcome to the Future

During the last 200 years humanity has thrived. Advanced technologies and blockchain have improved the quality of life. Life was good and comfortable, however…

In the year 2200, the humanity made the first contact with extraterrestrials.

The extraterrestrial creatures represented an Imperialist Alien race, and it didn’t take long for the war to erupt between the two civilizations.

Humankind mobilized all the resources to fight this war, however it was already predestined for failure…

After the devastating attack, Humankind was out of options, and the war was the only way forward to survive.

Earths’ most advanced military might, and abundance of mobilized resources proved to be non-sufficient to win against far more superior Aliens.

Humankind’s military might couldn’t get close to the ones of Aliens. The combat capability imbalance transformed Planet Earth into a bloodbath where people were butchered left and right…

Aliens’ biological development left human civilization in extreme disbalance of power, ultimately resulting in mortifying loss and transforming planet Earth into a post-civilizational war black hole.

Atrocities caused by this war proved to be everlasting and devastating for the whole planet.

Humanity was on the edge of extinction…

Fast forward to the year 2223

There are only 100 scientists left on the Earth who call themselves PRIMEs.

They developed a plan to change the world’s history and, therefore, the Wars’ outcome.

The Primes invented a time portal, allowing them to send items and messages into the past.

PRIMES devoted themselves to creation of 2 formulas. They believed that humans would never match the biological development of the aliens and necessary DNA changes were to be made. The sole goal of their laboratory was to create 2 Elixirs which would further assist humans in the Future Battle.

Elixir of Mutation 🦠

Transforming people into mutants. This Elixir changes the human genome, limits the need for oxygen in humans, and makes human skin adaptable to space conditions.

A single dose of this Elixir transforms a person biologically and turns them into mutants 🩸

Antidote dose 🧬

Transforms the mutants back into a human, but with an already improved genome.

However, that still was to be developed…

The Creation of Cyborg Technology

A mutated genome alone would not be enough to win the war against far advanced Aliens. Human armies need technological support to win the war, and cyborg technology provides a solution.

Supply Chain was fully sourced via Black Market, which humans created after the war to ensure exchange of goods and services, via Grey Market, unregulated, anonymous means

In 2222, PRIMEs successfully tested the Portal.

They knew they could pass on the message to the year 2023. But, realizing peoples’ primitive thinking and mass mistrust of everything and everyone.

PRIMEs decided to deceive humankind…

PRIMES decided to send Elixir packaged as an all-curing Medicine.

Indeed, within one year after injecting the Elixir, humans become immune to every possible disease, virus, and illness.

However, what they didn’t tell us was that after one year, the special genome is activated, and human mutation begins…

Throwback to Year 2024

Complete chaos, Mutants roaming in the cities… The world we once knew doesn’t exist anymore….

It was exactly after one year since humans first received the first formula, the Portal has changed its color which attracted all the mutants around…

An elixir appeared from the portal which was instantly consumed by the closest mutant hovering around.

Effect was instant.

Metamorphosis has begun… 🩸🩸

After the first Mutant interacted with the Elixir, it, and others close to got directly connected, the strange vibration and energy gathered all the roaming mutants together. It was like there were connected to each other through some advanced technology

A slight hope of Future just emerged in the middle of Apocalypse 🩸

The transformation process accelerated, and more and more mutants were transforming back to humans at a very rapid rate, the severe mutation was slowly fading off. Some of the mutants already have finished transformation.

However, to whatever they transformed back, weren’t exactly humans…
