Throughout the ages mankind has had legends of Gods, Immortals, Wizards, and Monsters. Names like Zeus, and Hades, Merlin are but a few of these Legendary figures. At one time the names of these beings were spoken in Reverance or Fear, however as time went on they were passed off as Myths and fairie tales.

These beings of good or evil were always depicted in an eternal struggle. Good vs Evil, the prize being the souls of the living. Even in the modern era religions were based off these Beings and their war for the souls of man. The names changed but the message remained the same. Unfortunately what was passed off for Legends Became Reality. This time however the Benevolent Forces that once opposed the forces of the damned did not come to our rescue.

The year is now 2137. The civilization of Man lies in shattered ruins. 53 years ago Being Appeared in the skies over Rome. In a voice of thunder He spoke his name. "Hades", and when he did a Dark Portal opened up onto our world and an Army of demons and monsters poured through. They fed upon the souls of man in doing so empowering their Dark god. With every human death they would raise the corpse of the fallen to add to their abysmal army. Mankind fought back. Bringing tremendous weapons of War to bear upon the Intruders. But for every death we suffered they gained.

Slowly the nations of our world began to topple. They left no survivors. They were here for one reason, and one reason alone, to Harvest the souls of Man. In a last ditch and desperate effort the leaders of our world lashed out with Nuclear weaponry. Bathing our world in flames, burning the Heavens and the Earth. Before issuing the order for such destruction The governments gathered thousands of people into Giant Shelters that were built decades earlier. In hopes of saving mankind.

For 42 years we have lived within these Shelters. Not knowing what lies on the outside. Not knowing if we were succesful driving back the forces of this being who claimed to be Hades. Not knowing if any person remains alive outside the confines of our shelter. Tomorrow that will all change.
