Oblivion - Kingdom Come
In the aftermath of a devastating Third World War that has left civilization on the brink of collapse, the remnants of the world's nations have reformed into new power blocs in a desperate bid to control the dwindling resources that are key to their survival. From the ashes of the old world order rise the Siberian Dawn Collective, the United African Association, the United North America, the United South American Pact, the coalition of European nations and the Korean-Japanese Empire. In a radical decision to determine control over the planet's scarce resources, these emerging powers agree to a high-stakes battle royale, a brutal contest where only the strongest nation will secure the means for its people's survival. Enter Ethan, Sinn, Bruce, Ahmik, Carly, Riley, and others-a diverse group of individuals from different backgrounds and nations, each with their own unique abilities and virtues. They find themselves thrust together in the midst of this global conflict, not just as representatives of their countries, but as reluctant warriors battling for their own survival and the future of their people. As the story unfolds, we journey with this band of unlikely heroes through trials of redemption, episodes of profound pain, and moments of enlightenment. Their experiences offer a window into the complexities and nuances of a world torn asunder, where moral certainties are blurred and the fight for survival often comes at great personal cost. Through their eyes, we explore the depths of human resilience and the bonds that form in the face of adversity. Their struggles are a microcosm of the larger battle raging across the globe-a battle not only for control of physical resources but for the soul of humanity itself.

The taste of triumph is more profound when seasoned with the bitterness of the journey. It is this contrast that makes success not just a goal but a celebration of the human spirit. In the end, it is the hardest times that give flavor to our achievements, making them not just milestones but moments of profound personal growth. Through pain, we learn endurance; through failure, we find resolve. And when success finally comes, it is not just a destination reached but a testament to the journey endured. ◉‿◉

With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.Complete
