Independence day 2026 and the United States of America is hit by the biggest terrorist attack of all time. After millions have been killed and half the country reduced to rubble it's up to the FBI to somehow figure out what happened and who was responsible. Just when all hope is lost after the investigation hits a dead end an unlikely saviour appears to help in ways no one could possibly imagine....

It was a game of chance, with equal odds for everyone. This brilliant idea was the last hope for bringing humanity together again. It had seemed so fantastical when it was first proposed, but over time it had grown to the point it was impossible to ignore. The people wanted it and nothing was going to stop them from being allowed to vote on its destiny. All the small pieces of this puzzle slowly fell into place, leading up to a door opening just far enough for it to be considered a possible reality. Some called it the end of civilization as we knew it, while others claimed civilized people had died long ago. A country divided cannot stand, and a division like the people had never seen spread across every continent. The only thing left that everyone could agree on was that something had to change. This offer of fairness and equality had been given the title of "The Lottery", and the fate of the world came down to one vote.

There isn't a day you don't hear a plane above your head in the new world. The sky went grey and the cities turned into mere shadows of the past glory. The world today is more disconnected than ever. Only groups of survivors remain, hiding in ruins and sewers and running. From what you ask? Some from the man in power, others from the ever-present fallout burning the earth alive. Only one shall dare to traverse the wasteland, not from, but straight towards the danger. With no way of going back. Come and follow an adventure-packed story of Aleksei and his group of survivors, as they travel through the ruins of a world torn by war, on a mission to escape the greatest threat roaming the planet Earth - humanity itself. ---------------------------------------------------------------- cover art by: maksym.harahulin (Instagram)
