A week earlier, Cyttorak had destroyed Mount Everest with a single palm strike. The blow had shifted Blue Star's crust, triggering earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions across the planet.
In just one day, this unprecedented disaster had claimed hundreds of millions of lives.
One island nation had been wiped out by a volcano. More than a hundred million people had died, without a single survivor.
Human life was so fragile before a disaster like this. There was no way to fight back.
Volcanic ash and toxic gases still shrouded the sky. Calling Blue Star a world in the throes of an apocalypse would not have been an exaggeration.
Human technology might have allowed people to survive the eruptions and ash. The real problem was that everyone on the planet had seen Cyttorak appear that day.
People believed a true god had descended to punish their sinful world. Doomsday predictions spread, and Doomsday Cults sprang up.

Human society now stood on the brink of collapse.
Some smaller countries had already been overrun by monsters and Doomsday Cults, becoming lawless lands.
