The world wasn't the same when they discovered alien-invested mercury. This mercury killed millions and invested others who got too close. Humanoids are what we call them but they call themselves Eath's new hope. They capture and trap survivors to create their kind since they cannot create themselves without us. After the outbreak, survivors hid and trained ourselves to fight against those monsters that changed our world into a battlefield. My name is Zeria and I'm Earth's last hope. My mission: To kill all humanoids.

Earth's Last Hope

The hallways begin to feel empty and small as I approach the office my father used to sit and let me flip the pages of our memories in. I feel so weak that my knees are about to give in. I stop before I turn into the same hallway I have ignored for the past couple of weeks. 


I just have to relive my happiest moments before I let this all go to absolute shit. My heart sinks further into my chest as I try to take one step after the other. I don't think this was a good idea to go all by myself. 


No, I have to. It's the only way to let go of my childhood and become the person I have to become. I have to let go of all the ties that hold me back. I can't cower in a corner any longer. I must throw myself into the deep end. 


This is the only way to truly let my father go and allow me to do the things I have to for my people. The door is the same as it's always been. I hold out the rust-like key and slip it into the keyhole and unlock what breaks me down every single day.
