Chapter 2- Plot pt. 2

Following the death of Alex, the Drake family went into mourning. Damian, the current CEO of the Head office and the heir to Drake Enterprises, was recalled to the family home as his mother had become ill from grief, leaving the company to be run by an uncle at the request of his father.

During his time away the uncle signed several contracts, unaware of the consequences that would befall the company.

At first, the profits looked good, but then after about a week, the company started to haemorrhage money faster than it could generate. Damian, at this time, was forbidden to go back or work by his parents during the time of mourning, to the effect that they locked him in the house with no form of communicative technology available to him. As such by the time he was allowed to go out the company was on the fast track to bankruptcy.

The company filed for bankruptcy a week after his release.

It was later bought by a mysterious company which had come into the public view 5 years ago. The company was said to be led by a god of wealth, which is how it was able to acquire most of the previously colossal Drake Enterprise. The Drake family collapsed with the Drake parents flying away to a different country with their savings from years past, and Damian, as no one but family, assistant and bodyguards had seen him before, disappeared.

However, the collapse of the Drake family led to some unforeseen consequences. One of the businesses left untouched was a pharmaceutical company that specialised in infertility drugs, was acquired by a less wealthy company than the Drakes', which led the administration to use cheaper materials in the processing of the medicine as well as cheaper ways of disposal of failed chemicals. This led to the ill-treated failed chemicals to seeping into the ground and polluting the groundwater pockets around the dumpsite, most of which moved slowly into the streams, rivers, and eventually the ocean.

This slowly spread around the world as the chemical cocktail mutated in the oceans, as various failed experiments were dumped in the same area, creating a drug that caused permanent infertility in all living beings. It went unnoticed for a few years before the various governments around the world noticed the rapidly declining birth rates, causing panic as investigations found out that, due to a negligent company, the water around the world had caused infertility around the world. The company was vilified worldwide, with its workers seen as scum, it was forcibly disbanded by the joint voting of the United Nations as renowned scientists across the globe were gathered to solve the problem. Unfortunately, it had become too late as all reproductive cells were killed by the chemicals that even if there was a cure the cells killed could not be revived. Eventually, sperm banks became the focus to continue reproduction, but then it was impossible for women to carry the children to term as their wombs were destroyed by the chemicals and it had become impossible for the scientists to extract the compound out of the waters as the technology needed was beyond what was available worldwide.

Humanity lost hope, then they became angry.

Countries united against country A. States united against T state. Companies united over InFert company. Lovers who were trying for children begun to quarrel. Adults with children fought with those that had none, and finally, one man was killed by his wife for working in the company that started the catastrophe. During the court hearing, she was unapologetic as she had a miscarriage due to the drug and wanted revenge for her lost child. Her words and manners incited a lot of people, some begun to look for InFert employees to kill and the situation escalated to global proportions. Then, as country H carried out routine military operations, one person blinded by anger at InFert sent a missile to its factory. That was the final straw as a World war began.

Humanity was wiped out as a result of failed drugs and war.

After reading the world's plot, May was stunned.

"I've heard that the love of money is the root of all evil, but, I have never heard of it being the root of the worlds' infertility and death." said May stunned.

"Indeed." said system 2no32o.

"Who am I in this plot?" she asked.

"Host is the older cousin of Jenny Friare, called May Strauss. May Strauss, the only child of Ophelia and Henrick Strauss, French-German nationality and student. She was in Country A university studying Engineering with a joint on Product design. At this point in time, Host is in the final year of High school and the plot will officially begin in your second year of University."

"I see... There is an issue though, I don't know anything about the subjects described as this era is more advanced than mine. Also to stay unnoticed by avoiding acting OOC, I will need to maintain her grades, what is provided to help with this?"

"The system will send for orders from Administration. While the system waits for confirmation, the host should continue with the day as it should take a day to settle." said the system in a monotone voice.

"What should I call you? Also, call me May and not host as I will be May for the duration of this world."

"System is called system, May." said system 2no32o.

"Do you want a name?"

"If May prefers, then, the system can be granted a name for the duration of the contract. Otherwise, the system has no preference. However, granting a name for the system is ill-advised as the system will become different... more human in nature."

"I see... to be honest, I think that I will grant one but I will do so at the end of the day. I still have to get ready for school and have breakfast before school. See you." said May as she moved to get ready for the day.
