DON'T LOOK FURTHER
Round One: The Plague
We have been conditioned to fear the differences of society. To push away those who don’t fit the blindly labeled “normal” status. The system is built to ensnare humanity and we follow it like hungry dogs, desperate to fit in and remain hidden among the rat race.
What happened to our youth?
We sit in enclosed spaces, searching for constant entertainment. Staring at devices. Trying to find that raw, feral freedom that we've been locked away from.
Nature laughs at us whilst also screaming in our deaf ears to return. She swears she'll be good to us this time. She swears she won't let us down.
But humanity doesn't believe in second chances. Not anymore.
So where did we end up when there was nowhere to go?
Chaefetis.
Chaefetis.
In 2078, a team christened ”The Last Hope” discovered a planet within the Milky Way that could, in fact, support life. By this time in our history, the entirety of Earth’s population had fallen victim to brain disfunction. This was due to Blue Light, a newly categorized disease that affected everyone looking at a screen during Our Darkest Hour, in which a virus was released that temporarily blinded its victim. The virus then dug itself into the brain, shutting off necessary components for basic human function and sending the human into electronic overdrive. Hundreds of millions of people were affected, leaving only infants and a few others scattered across the globe.
The Last Hope gathered a group of survivors; young children, barely able to walk, hastily packed them into a rocket, and sent them off. One adult was sent with them to ensure their safety and teach them the essentials of survival.
Chaefetis, a wild planet, was designed to keep all of its inhabitants from harm. They were protected from the universe, hidden beneath the shadowy barrier from those who had been infected.
But the barrier has started to weaken.

The children are stripped of their guardian only fifteen years after their arrival. Now, with no one left to lead them, they have been left to fend for themselves. However, they are unaware of the danger coming. After over a decade of peaceful survival, they don’t feel the need to worry.
But the infected are coming. Earth has been stripped of its majesty and has become a barren, cold wasteland. Chaefetis is the next target for their reign of terror. And it is the job of the children to defend it.
