Chapter 64: The First Purge - Cruel Mission - First Blood!

The countdown ticks away. Alex hears Rishi's voice reminding him and their three contracted helpers of their hastily constructed plan, thrown together on the spot after analyzing the situation. "Whatever happens, don't do anything rash. The very first thing you should do is try to meet up with each other. Depending on the world we arrive at, remember the different possible meeting points we discussed earlier."

Alex reviews his status one last time, checking his healing items and feeling well-prepared. He discovered earlier that he could store certain items in his personal room, up to 50 items. He decided to store his special items and essences for safekeeping.

Players gathering... total number of players: 50
World selection: Earth (The Purge Franchise)
Starting Location: NY, Staten Island
Timeline: "The First Purge"]

Setting: In the world of The Purge, society has found a dark solution to control crime and unrest. For one night each year, all crime, including murder, is completely legal. This annual event, known as "The Purge," is a terrifying social experiment designed to vent societal anger, allowing citizens to release their violent impulses without consequence. The result is a twisted blend of freedom and chaos, a night where survival is not guaranteed, and morality is pushed to the edge.

This mission takes place during The First Purge, the initial experiment conducted by the NFFA, The New Founding Fathers of America, a new political party that started it all. In an attempt to reduce crime long-term, the government designates one isolated community, Staten Island, NY—as the testing ground for the original Purge. Participants are encouraged to engage in any actions they choose, while wealthy sponsors, thrill-seekers, and desperate individuals each have their own reasons for participating. The night is a brutal test of human nature, where trust is shattered, alliances form and fall apart, and no one truly knows who will make it to dawn. Residents are paid for staying and receive additional rewards if they take part in the violence. Staten Island was chosen for its high percentage of poor residents who voted overwhelmingly for the experiment, driven by the promise of monetary rewards.
