The entirety of North and South America as well as a good chunk of Europe had been completely laid waste too. The old world was gone leading to a great societal shift, as many global superpowers were no longer in existence. Entire economies crumbled and many societies had collapsed; the catastrophe being the spark that initiated an entire social revolution.

The remnants of the fallen nations divided themselves into many smaller factions known as empires, and out of these three stood at the top.

Firstly is The Federated Union of Arcadia, which was formed from the amalgamation of European and Asian nations. They are a democratic state which thrive both socially and economically. Their capital city is Willow Fall.

Then there's The Elysian Union, an empire forged from the joining together of many African and Asian nations. They practice elective monarchy and are thriving in both cultural and technological aspects. Their capital city is Komo.

Finally there is The United Pantheon Coalition, a mix of nations which are too distant apart to join the other empires. They are a unique empire born from the unity of displaced peoples across various continents that celebrates diversity but also inflicts strict adherence to its laws. Their capital is Korea, one of the few nations that continued to exist.

In the contemporary city of Willow Fall the sun began to rise with a golden hue painting the horizon and, signifying the start of a new day. A young man was sleeping in bed until and alarm rung.

"BEEP"

"BEEP"

"BEEP"

He gets up and sluggishly turns it off, and as soon as he does he hears a loud shout calling him.

"ZEPHYR!!!"

It was none other than his little sister Naomi. He came down to meet his breakfast served just like every other day.

"You're always sleeping in Oni-Chan, it's not good for a teenage boy to be late on the last day of exams." She nagged him just as always, but she did have a point this was the last day he'd see some of his friends who were leaving the city.

"Alright, I get it's an important day." He sighed

"Oh right, before I forget."

She suddenly jumped on him knocking both of them down alongside the chair.

"Happy Birthday!"

"...what?"

"It's your birthday silly, don't tell me you actually forgot."

But he truly did forget that today was his birthday, probably because of all the studying he's had to do.

*Cough*

*Cough*

"Could, you get off me now."

She realized that she had been laying on him in her undergarments for sometime now.

"....... Get away from me you pervert!"

"Have Mercy."

After subduing her rage with a promise to go out for ice cream later Zephyr finally got dressed for school. He adorned his uniform, a blend of classic elegance and individuality.

Zephyr's uniform consists of a crisp, white collared shirt made from a soft, breathable fabric that ensures comfort during long school days. The shirt's design mirrors Aqua's classic blouse, featuring a button-down front and a navy blue trim along the edges of the collar and cuffs, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble.

Atop the shirt, Zephyr dons a sleeveless navy blue vest adorned with silver buttons, reminiscent of Aqua's signature vest. The vest has a slim, tailored fit, enhancing Zephyr's confident and stylish appearance. A subtle insignia of their school, perhaps an emblem featuring a star or a symbol representing their school's values, is embroidered discreetly on the vest's chest.
