The world has fallen far from grace; we are no longer the beings God once created. Nothing is the same, the world has evolved beyond anyone’s imagination but alas, the world has been consumed with chaos. We have tried to evolve, tried to find the way for us to become perfect. For us to be indestructible, to be immortal.
But how does one simply just become immortal? How does one become indestructible? How does one become perfect? We asked ourselves this many times through the thousands of years of our existence. Well, the world has paid for its seeking of power. The world has darkened. People have changed, would they still be considered human? I’m not even sure.
We studied deep into the ways of changing our genes, to ridding ourselves of faults in our DNA. We searched and destroyed what made us weak, finding little coding in our genes and demolished the ones we thought to put us back in our race to become perfect. We were slowly crawling towards our goal. We introduced replacing body parts with metal so we would not age, swapping our hearts with machines to pump blood for us and never fail, to become machines was surely a way for us to survive. The idea was simple; swap any faulty parts of the human body with machines. This would not only prolong our life, it would also give us strength and make us indestructible. We would not die. We could simply just swap any part in our bodies that started to fail us with metal. Some thought this plan was ingenious, and went and tried it. This technology was slowly sweeping across the world, People all around started to believe this was the best way but it was soon rejected. They were no longer considered humans; they started to become what we now know as Technoids.
People thought the look was unfashionable and inhuman and tried to break away from this Idea, The Technoids were rejected from humanity, people wanted nothing to do with these creatures and rose against them and forced them all to leave their cities, and this is where the world first started to fall.
The next big idea was to splice ourselves, modifying our DNA with a serum. This allowed us to change our genes to how we saw fit. Everyone was an equal with this idea; it also could be used to prolong our lives and to harden our bodies so a blade could not pierce our skin. Gene Splicing, the idea was endless, I thought we might have finally got it, thought we might have finally found what could perfect our race, all of us did. We could stay human just with enhanced abilities. This new idea allowed us, by simply injecting a serum, to give ourselves abilities to help around the work industries, we could use it to grants us fire at a click of our fingers to smelt ore, or bring heat to a room by little the fireplace, or to enhance our thinking capacity.
The idea like the other quickly spread around the world and people started messing with their DNA. Playing God it seems. Soon it was used not as a treatment for our weaknesses and industry but for warfare against other nations and against the Technoids that fought to restore their dignity among the lands. Not only did Splicing create war but was utterly addictive, people started collecting as much as possible and just kept injecting themselves with it. Slowly losing their minds and becoming monsters, mindless monsters that attack anyone and everyone just for the chance of obtaining more power.
The world started to break, forests being burnt to ash, cities crumbling from warfare. The world was truly starting to fall apart. Was it wrong for us to seek immortality? To perfect ourselves? No we were right to do so, but we obviously didn’t think about the consequences of our actions. We have ruined our once beautiful world, slowly it falls to darkness. People fear one another, we tried to stop it but we were too late. Too many people had lost their insanity, to many people have become addicted to the serum.
Now we roam the earth, hiding in ruins of cities from the Technoids who claim they are the superior race, and from the mad man and women who have lost their minds, craving only one thing and doing anything to get it. This world has become a grim place, living our lives in fear that around the next corner there is something that will take our life.
No one is the same, the world is in chaos. Murder all around, there is only one rule, Kill or be killed. If you cannot follow this rule then you are considered to be one of the weak and are sure to die. If there is one thing people can learn from us, it’s to never chase after perfection. For thousands of years we have existed, and for us to be our own destruction, is just saddening. This truly is a grim world. We truly have fallen far from grace, My god forgive us all.
