This is an "Inch of Infinity" Oneshot. You don't have to read either in a particular order or even at all but its the same universe so it might make more sense if you read An Inch of Infinity first. Jesse Rivoily thinks his life is perfect. He has kind, loving parents. He lives with lots of people. He never lost a family member. World War lll has never happened. He doesn't live alone in a sewer. All of this is a lie. In the near future the entire world is conquered by a group of people known as Royalties, or the Royals for short. They declared war on the planet. If you were not with them, you were against them. by the end of the 21st century the world was utter chaos and anyone who did not follow the laws to the letter were taken away by the Keepers. Part ninja, part spy, part soldier, the Keepers were brainwashed citizens raised from 8 months old to be able to apprehend anyone. Only 87% made it through training. The population was cut into 6 groups, one for each block, each the size of a continent.The blocks were numbered in the order that they were conquered. Antarctica is #1, South America is #2 , Asia is #3, Africa is #4, Europe is #5 and North America is #6. Australia was bombed out of existence to make a point and the majority of the world lived in fear of being made an example for others, and the keepers didn't make it easy. Its been 6 years and now he is used to living alone. This is only a few days in a lifetime of running, hiding and terror.

(Based off of the Year Zero Album by Nine Inch Nails- Similar concepts are used in this story, but this story is a creation of my own, but building upon the foundation of Year Zero... All Credit goes to Trent Reznor) (Also some of the characters and concepts included are from story projects I have long since cancelled, to be given another shot here) (Warning: This story is very dark and graphic, and will probably go into darker territories than most of my stories have covered) It's been a few years since Year Zero... When it all started... When All hell broke loose on this godforsaken planet... Since America decided freewill was nothin more than a passing Thought... Any American that wasn't a Bible-Thumping Fundamentalist Christian was to be put down by declaration of the president... They have eyes everywhere.... The last remaining country and they're ruthless... The scale of their reach expanding... Mexico and Canada?... Heh... Folded under pressure... It's all the great dictatorship of the United States Of America Now.... For those that scamper off to other countries, they're nothing but remnants of a long since ended war... Started by... You guessed it... The USA... No real country remains besides them... Whatever the rest of these plots of land used to be... Whatever... Countries used to remain... Heh... Laid to ruin in the wake of Year Zero... Now used as free territory where anyone scampers too... The peddling of drugs and sex workers are all one can find out here anymore.... With everything cracking at the seams... And on top of it all... This mysterious entity... The Presence seems to be lurking in the back of everyone's mind... What chances does mankind have anymore?... With this... This destruction... This cruelty... What hope does the common man have anymore?...... Guess we just do what we can... Survive....
