The year is 2065, humans have been making a failed stand against the Kemati Kerajaan for decades and it is a losing battle, who would have thought sun-fearing monsters that sustain on blood.. Vampires, were real? Creatures of greed that store their soul away from God to live lives eternal, with powers unheard of? People know the name Lich now.. know and fear. Zombies and Ghouls are a mere afterthought comparatively.. but the nightmare is very real.
It started as experiments gone wrong: lymphic, genetic, bacterial, viral.. No-one came clean in time to determine the truth, but now... Now the dead walk. No... the dead rule, and we live in fear. Isolation only serves us so well, stealth? Some say they can see lifeforce.. smell warm blood... hear hearts beat... The truth..? Who cares.. this world is broken and humans are farmed like cattle, raised crippled to be tapped like maple trees, Milked like cows, or harvested like grain.
Technology still advances, they work scientists and people as slaves... though it's a cushy thing for them. "You live out your human life working at what you do well, and we will keeping in a pet community, but your labors are for our fruits." A majority of captives are food source to most of their disgusting forms. They follow some sort of organized will, though none can but guess at the source.. though if their known heirarchy and power structure is telling, then we all are more than justified in not wanting to find out.
They dare not destroy us.. or cull too thinly, fearing their own demise, so they patrol, raid, and wait in cold, menacing silence between bursts of gory terror. People scrape together terrified lives. Using the poles as the only servicable, albeit seasonal strongholds, migrating perilously across the equator, chasing the sunlight. Scattered outposts exsist, hidden as well as possible, fighting off and even attempting to deal with the Kingdom of the Dead, though bearing little fruit.
The Poles are safe, as the undead have yet to assault any ice cap city effectively. The cold seems to hamper them to an extreme, making them the only truely safe places on earth. Everyday survivors are hunted and gathered.. murdered and bled. Though escape happens as well, though more rarely. The population of humans on earth in 2012 was 7.12 billion, and now.?. Heh~ Now our numbers dangle at just over a 2 billion, only around 450K are free, while there's? Well.. let's pretend they took the rest and assimilated .. then became the other half.. , sooooo.. 3.5 billion... that's right, BILLION, with a 'b' of them... granted a vast majority don't need sustainance whatsoever. The ones that do just happen to be in power, and... for being so dead, they're more like us than we want to believe.
Fear and want drive them.. and they're looking for us. Every second. Of every night.
Welcome to hell.~

This is a new setting I've been working on and is currently in Beta 1.2 only, so will not be open on the forum yet. Post questions, comments, suggestions, and concerns when the topic opens. I'll tag it as an announcement for 48-72 hours before it opens for questions. And it'll likely open in full shortly thereafter.
Thanks for Your interest & patience,
