ARC 1 : Chapter 2

Noah`s Arc Survivor's Fortress, AUSTRALIA

We are probably the last surviving humans on the face of the Earth, it never took a long time for The Apocalyptic War to become an one-sided slaughter for the humans. It all dates back to the day of The 'FIRST CONTACTS' in APRIL, 2021, When the Pyramids of Egypt started leaking dense black smog with unknown origins and Libya was shut down. After it was the Aztec and Mayan temples, followed by every known famous historical places of Worship. The World was caught in fear and trepidation, because always the known always has little to fear , while the unknown is the scariest. Every knowing human felt that an Ancient mystery was slowly unravelling itself for the whole world to see. Although some people believed it was something HOLY , the scary smog gave others no reason to believe it was so. And, finally in October We saw those places turn into spiralling vertical gates swallowing everything under a radius of 1 KM of it and containing nothing but darkness. Those gates were like bottomless abysses that swallowed everything the military sent to it's mouth. Even an ICBM couldn't change the readings that the gate emitted , high EMF and gravity , these were the defining features of those gates. Then finally on the night of New Year , when we all welcomed a year that might change the suffocating atmosphere prevalent in the World, Stones with strange runes carved on them came out of nowhere and bordered the spiralling gates into the shape of a ginormous 'Door', with darkness cascading down like a waterfall from the top runes that glowed with a blood red light. We never had to wait long to know what was behind those 'Doors' , cries of pre-historic animals were heard following the formations of the Doors. For the first times humans witnessed what demons and fiends looked like, and mythical monsters straight out of the books came in the views of the humans of the World. Their armies consisted of humanoid creatures with grey, violet and black bodies with a sturdy built with ragged horns, fitting the description of a demon , were the supposed generals of these armies and their soldiers were the gargoyles, satyrs, gorgons, basilisks, chimeras, minotaur, cyclops, and other nightmarish creatures.

The start of the war saw heavy casualties on their side. But gradually we came face to face with the true might of the true soldiers of the otherworld and we met our match. Even a .50 BMG bullet couldn't damage those steel like bodies of the demons. Gradually we understood that those monsters were just cannon-fodder for them, their true army consisted of these demons and fiend. This war went on for a total of 6 months and after paying the price by blood of 3 million soldiers and countless civilians. All the countries decided to empty out their nuclear arsenals on these emissaries of death. Finally on the D-DAY, the nukes were launched and the forces of demons were nearly wiped out along with the half of the world. But it was just the beginning as new and powerful armies came out of those Doors that were indestructible, and these forces were much larger in proportions be it their sheer size or numbers. Finally, we humans lost any hopes that we had. But, God had not left us yet cause then, we saw the emergence of the sages and those enlightened beings that can be found accompanying these monsters and demons in our Folktales. These people gave us hope and the power to fight these forces of demons. They started preaching us those lost manuals and scrolls that recorded the ways to strengthen our human body and forging of weapons that can defeat and kill those forces of death. And , so after 5 years of preparations and sacrifices the offensive of Humankind began. We had already lost the African, the North and South American continent to the forces of demons and desperate struggle began from the east Eurasia. This battle carried on for 10 long years and finally we were driven out of the Asian continent too.
