This is the history of how the human race fell!
"Bro Lester."Larry walks towards his brother.
"Yes, brother?" Lester puts down the Business book that he was reading.
"I have highlighted the 139 important parts in this book, quiz me a bit." Larry hands the history textbook in his hand.
Lester listened and laughed. "Sure, I rarely get the chance to quiz you. Brother, listen up, I'm going to give you a question. If you get it wrong, it would be embarrassing."
"Ask away." Larry laughs, sitting on the couch.
"There was one man who found an ancient relic and saved hundreds of millions of people, he successfully transferred millions of people to the Sanctuaries. Who is the hero? From what country? what was the relic?" "What exact date did this happen?" Lester asked as he flipped through the book.
"The hero was 'Han Xiao' who was granted a five-star hero medal by the World Council. He is Chinese. A relic transport Spaceship. This happened... should be AD 2018..." Larry raised his eyebrows.
Lester continued in asking, "The exact date is AD 2018, what month, and what day?"
"Um... I think it was..." Larry said hesitantly, "June 18th."
"Haha, you got the first question wrong." Lester shakes his head, "Han Xiao is indeed a Chinese and used the spaceship he found to gather the cornered humans around the world. However, this happened on AD 2018, June 16th."
"Ah!"
Larry hit his head and laughed bitterly. "I get 16 and 18 mixed up all the time, continue asking."
"Okay, listen carefully, second question." Lester was clearly excited. "AD 2017 in..."
.....
The two brothers asked and answered, and time flew by quickly.
"I already asked half the questions in this book. I asked 68 questions and you got 63 right and 5 wrong." Lester raised his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Dad and Mom are going to be back soon. I'll ask you one last question and ask you the other half some other time."
"Last question? Okay, ask away." Larry's concentration increased.
"This question is very basic. Review the important events of the 'Rise of the Anim(e)al Kingdom'." asked Lester
Lester had a serious expression, for the Rise of Superbeasts, was the most important part of human history.
*(Rise of the Animal Kingdom is the beginning of the apocalypse)
"In the beginning of the 21st century, the entire world was minding its own business. Finally, the world witnessed the first rift and how it destroyed a city, animals began to rapidly multiply and evolve, the human race was not ready. As a result, all of the countries of the world had many deaths.
"In the beginning, our tech can still kill the animals, and the rifts got under control.
"However, on AD 2016 January, a new class of rift formed left and right, it was the one that brought the human race to its downfall!!!
"In the past, only the life energy are gushing out of the rifts, it spread around the world. However, these new rifts brings death. On the other hand, this new rift brought some kind of virus that will make you strong and healthy if you survive if not, death will embrace you!
"Billions of people died, the death rate was 30%. In a matter of weeks, the population of the world drop by nearly 3 billion!
"The survivor neared 5 billion, whom all survived the outbreak of the virus.
"During those nightmarish weeks, the whole human race mourned, now they felt a new pain and fear!
"During this process, the animals began to multiply at a very alarming speed. They grow and evolved so fast, that the government can no longer contain them.
"And then...
"The bloody war between humans and animals began.
"February 2016. starting from the attack of a plethora of organisms in the sea, the animals are no longer called animals they become the Superbeast
"Blood, madness, and Despair!
"Although horrifying beasts appeared, Runic Champions also sprung out from the human side. A lot of strong heroes emerge during the war.
"These heroes saved a large number of normal civilians, they assisted everyone who needed help. If there is a hero there will always be a villain, a lot of people took advantage of the chaos to create more chaos. During this time, many epic stories came about.
"During wars, the scientist can make technological breakthroughs left and right, our current technology advanced by leap and bounds.
"Human scientist 'Albert Dean' found the evolved metals or magic metals. He used the materials from the corpses of Superbeasts along with magic metals to make a metal alloy even harder and stronger than diamond: the super metal alloy! Giving these powerful weapons to powerful Champions makes them one of the deadliest creatures on the planet.
"If some new phenomenon and the law is no longer working, a mad scientist will be born.
"Zander Acharya, a mad scientist. He created the serum that can awaken ordinary people at the cost of thousands of lives. The serum was created on countless inhumane experimentations on both humans and beasts."
This portion of history was very clear in Larry's mind, he was very interested on Zander's research.
"During the war, a large portion of other countries' population migrated to the mainland continent.
"Since the number of monsters in the sea are immeasurable, all of the island countries were scared of getting isolated to the world!"
"Even now, the sea is the Superbeasts' territory.
"In the Southeast Asia, all SEA countries created an alliance to fight the Superbeast, Alliance Of South East Asian Nations(ASEAN). After they concluded that they can't win the war alone...they united! So the mass migration started. They hastily build 26 major Bases in Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and some parts of Yunnan.
"Here, we will make Our Last Stand!
"AD 2019, In the war between human race and Superbeasts, The World Council was founded. For the first time ever, the human race united!
"The World Council were led by the FIVE Alliances; Pantheon (Europe and some African People), Slav HuaXia Alliance S.H.A (China, Russia, NorthKorea, and some Japanese), ASEAN (All SEA countries and some Japanese, Koreans, and some Australian countries), America (Every Country In American continent), Islam Hindu Alliance I.H.A (All of the countries in South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, and some Africans)
"The World Council created many human strongholds around the world. In the past, The World Council only have five alliances as its nucleus, but the Champion's Hall emerged led by the strongest Champions.
Larry marveled
A war that lasted 8 years, the most horrifying war! In this war, deaths totaled nearly 10 billion. Only the Five Alliances with mixed countries stayed intact, the rest of the world burned.
Until now———
