"Cursed be the ground, for our sake. Both Thorns and Thistles it shall bring forth, for us. For out of the ground we were taken for the dust we are, and to the dust we shall return."

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. Thousands of years passed; war after wretched war and sin after vile sin, humanity blundered. As time passed, The Lord became increasingly angry at humanity. They turned from Him again and again. With each generation came a new war, and with each.war came entirely new and vile things. Man created evil with each passing year. They created machines for everything from sexual pleasure to killing one another. Their lives became less based on God’s word, and more on gratification of the body. The vile actions of man forever stained the sands of time.

Tiring of the wickedness and evil, God created something new. It was incorruptible. He called them the Acer. The Acer were stronger, smarter and better in every way than humanity. God even gave them a new home. He called it Xen. Xen was a beautiful planet similar to earth. God gave the Acer everything, and they were appreciative. The Lord saw His creation and knew that it was good. He had made the Acer strong in every way humanity was weak, and even stronger in the ways humans were strong. God was building an army, one suitable to cleanse Earth of the wicked and vile things that humanity had so tenderly nurtured beyond the point of no return.

Centuries passed. The Acer had become a solid and holy civilization free of sin. No lies, no deceit, and no corruption allowed their civilization to move forward rather quickly. Their numbers were great and their people were strong. They developed technology beyond the wildest of dreams. Teleportation, perpetual movement, cold fusion; the Acer created a world that humanity could only dream of. The sky was the limit. Beyond the sky, in the depths of space, the Acer had also found new and wondrous things. Plants that could grow without any sunlight or water, they found new elements and even entire new colors in their travels.

God made their purpose known to the Acer. He ordered them to train forces for a war. The Acer had created weapons, but only for hunting. They had never fought a war even domestically and were not battle tested like humanity was.  The Acer were strong though. They developed devastating weapons, and impenetrable transportation. They made tanks the size of small buildings and repeaters and sidearms that fired balls of molten plasma. God was impressed with their intelligence. They constructed bone crushing weapons that used sound waves to turn the opponents bones to dust. As if they had fought 10,000 wars, the Acer knew how to fight. Swift hard-hitting attacks and a demand of unconditional surrender would win the day. Humanity had mere years left, and they were only digging their grave deeper…

Back on Earth, humans had lost all moral fiber. They embraced all that is evil, creating disease and famine with their ignorance. A new one-world leader had taken power. A man by the name of Oliver Knox. He was a cruel and filthy man. He had 5 wives and 100 whores. Knox was supreme ruler and none opposed him. His word was law. Knox starved the people of the world using his power to regulate food creation and to promote corruption within his police force. He kept his people in check using methamphetamine to control them. The drug was forced upon people. 98% of the population were addicts and eventually no longer forced to use it, but were charged money to purchase it. The other 2% were Knox and his elite guard.

The population now dwindled in the millions. Others had been wiped out by disease and war. The remaining people starved due to a lack of food being grown and harvested. Knox did not care; he had food to last him 10,000 lifetimes. He was greedy and rarely shared his food with others. Knox was the human embodiment of all the evil humanity had embraced.

Humanity had become prey to itself. Self-destructive behavior became nature, and worship of God became taboo. All religion wiped from the face of the earth. Secularism and science prevailed over the soul and from that, evil flourished. Nothing was sacred. The very idea of marriage was abolished, and love was lost in the flames of lust. Whores and murderers stood side-by-side on every corner prowling for their next victims. Darkness abounding, a gruesome end impending, humanity needed a hero…
