Dark Fractures

The world held its breath as people with "superpowers" appeared across the Earth. Wars were fought over control of these beings, but they failed to contain their ever-growing population. Soon, factions composed almost entirely of them appeared on almost every continent. One such faction was known for its members being mainly composed of assassins, mercenaries, and highly skilled fighters. Their operations mainly consisted of sneaking into highly protected government facilities or simply hacking into them to steal or make copies of highly important and secret files.

One such file contained information on the discovery of a strange fissure on the surface of the Earth in South America. After investigating it for themselves, members of the faction concluded that an apocalypse was soon to come. They believe this as this fissure ran deep into the Earth, and it was filled with monstrosities. Their beliefs were proven true three years later when two more fissures appeared between the Asian and European Continents. Billions of monsters poured out, wave after wave, each stronger than the one before. Within ten days, humanity's population dwindled to nearly 1% of its population before the monsters came. Governments and militaries toppled over in days, leaving very few of the remaining factions to protect the remaining populace.
