Another unsuspecting wanderer graces these humble pages. Did you stumble upon this realm by accident, or did a cruel hand of destiny somehow decide you needed to witness the desolation within? Welcome, I suppose.. Do you dare to find a comfortable place to sit and prepare for a tale steeped in sorrow?

Alright then, In a world sadly not distant enough, an insidious corporation, orchestrates a grandiose symphony of global strife. A heart-wrenching performance filled with the spilled blood, tears, and the unwitting sacrifices of minds too feeble or fearful to break free. Picture, if you will, a desolate expanse where individuality is a scarce relic, traded for the meager privilege of having a fragile ski helmet over one's head for the illusory escape into a virtual utopia of the world that could be.

Amid this grim reality, a band of warriors, led by my creator Master Usunov, surfaces. They send forth a grim warning across time—an offering of plans and instructions to construct the initial shard of a relic. A flickering ember of hope in a world drowning in the shadows of despair.

Now, brace yourself, dear visitor, for the revelation of a companion on your journey. Will you muster the strength to endure its burdens and, perchance, be strong enough to guide this realm out of its woeful state?

Or will you retreat to the comforting shadows of indifference? The choice rests with you, my unwitting bearer of clicks.
