Carpe Diem: Episode One

Story-Part 1: In the Beginning

In the year 2700, Kelevor was a prosperous and flourishing world. Technological advancements in science and medicine created a world with peace and cooperation. Resources were used smartly and advancements in robotics were beginning to take shape. Soon after, the potential of the world hit a peak as advancements by conventional means could only go so far. A lead engineering scientist, Kedrak Arakian, formed a team of scientists, researchers and excavators to go on the hunt for a rare artifact rumored to hold the key to limitless energy. It was a longshot, but the team set out anyways. The rumors were true, and Kedrak and his team found the object, a large stone that radiated energy seemingly from nowhere. After the teams return to their base, reports quickly came out about the murder of the entire research facility; staff and executives. Soon after, Kedrak and the other five surviving team members started their own energy corporation, called "Arakian Energies". He and his Arakian Six were now the sole owners of the worlds most powerful form of energy. In no time at all, they had the world in the palm of their hands.

Story-Part 2: An Imbalance of Nature

As the Arakian Six rose to power, so did their curiosity to explore and find more sources of energy. If not for their own personal gain, they wanted to eliminate the potential for competition. Kedrak's curiosity led him to a scroll of ancient texts, ones that were from a civilization that went extinct without record. He discovered the story of the "Soul Flames", mysterious objects that continued to appear and disappear throughout their history. He gathered information on their locations and went with the Arakian Six to find them. Years of searching yielded seven Soul Flames, which were also rocks that emitted high levels of energy. Finally, in an attempt to unite their energies into one super source, Kedrak inadvertently created an imbalance in the energies of nature itself. Rather than creating a mega source of energy, the gathered Soul Flames emitted an EMP pulse, rendering the worlds machines useless. The downturn of civilization was beginning by the hands of the Arakian Six.

Story-Part 3: From Death Comes Birth

Kedrak soon realized that this power was acting to destroy the world the Arakian Six worked to make their own. They quickly worked to engineer a source of energy that could repel that of the Soul Flames. He dubbed it, the Star Stone. It was a success! However, it became apparent very quickly that the two energy sources could only battle in silence for so long. As soon as the world's technology began powering back up, the unimaginable happened. The entire planet shook as Kelevor was ripped apart, separating the one continent into pieces touching every corner. Things hit a peak when the Soul Flames were literally flung back to the far corners of the world on their own, with the Star Stone doing the same. A void in the sky formed where the stone had once been. Shortly after, monsters and in-explainable creatures began to pour out. In less than a day, the world transformed into a different place. Kedrak had unleashed unto the world beings called Zylacs. In no time, they began to roam the world, destroying everything in their path. An extermination of mankind had begun and from that day on, civilization would fight for their survival. Kedrak was never to be seen again, as well as the stones.

Story-Part 4: A New Age of Man

300 years since the events now known as 'The Seventh Day', mankind is in a period of rebuild and restructure. The four main continents now operate separately, with their own kings and set of rules. Zylacs still remain a great threat, however mankind has since learned how to combat them, with dozens of factions across the globe dedicated to fighting them. But in the shadows, a familiar threat is beginning to unfold. Underground experiments, secrets organizations and conspiracies threaten to shake the world once again.
Now, a young man named Skylar has been given the chance to leave his home, "The Underground", to visit his lifetime friend for the first time since they were kids. For Skylar, it's a chance to reconnect and reflect on the good days of his childhood. However, his visit is about to become permanent.
