In the blink of an eye,
Life on earth has long gone.

It all began with climate change. This was not only the beginning, but the catalyst to extinction of life on earth. Many countries lost most if not all of their territories, and both developing and advanced countries alike lost their ability to function as nations, leaving behind only 4.2 billion refugees. Mass immigration led to endless disputes on the borders. Though unconfirmed, rumors of a bloody massacre were widely circulated.

Overnight, the existence of mankind fell to ashes. Although there is no clear record or explanation of what actually happened and what or who caused it, one thing is for certain: that on that day, dozens of nuclear bombs were dropped from the sky, threatening earth's ability to harbor life.

Nevertheless,
Humankind persevered.

In mother nature, humans are vulnerable compared to other primates. Despite this, the wisdom that humankind accumulated by thriving for thousands of years kept them from losing their hope.

“Surreal”, the multinational company that created the largest cloud server and metaverse engine, showcased a plan called "Project Gaia", an adaptation plan for when mankind became endangered. Also known as Earth Cloning, it required uploading earth in its healthy state along with the remaining humans into the metaverse.

Mind Uploading

The Seed, also referred to as the epitome of biotechnology, will contain all biological information about us, will act as the brain of the metaverse when uploaded. In 1,000 years, when the earth has recovered and can support life, the Seed will enable our bodies to be replicated into the real world. This is the bold plan being put forth by Surreal, the world's second largest company by market capitalization.

Microbial genetics aren’t the only things that can be transferred to Seeds. Anything in existence can be digitized into a material and morphed into a seed. First, the deoxyribonucleic acid is mixed with a new material developed by “Surreal”, and when a sufficient amount of energy is exerted onto this mixture, a new biological material called ‘Alea’ is created. Seeds made from Alea can contain anything that is in digitized form, such as biological information, relics of earth’s history, or cultural heritage. People called these ‘heritage seeds’, as they are the symbol of hope for the restoration of mankind in the near future.

To the new world,
'Theia'

The majority of people choose to relocate to the metaverse forgo their physical bodies by transferring their consciousness to 'Seeds' because of the substantial energy needed to preserve the body for 1,000 years. Those with enough wealth are able to upload both their minds and bodies using a new currency termed 'Fuel', with the hope that they can re-enter the physical world in their bodies within a millennium.

And to Mars

The immigration to Mars is a noble act to continue mankind’s existence, and the UN has created a strict verification process for selecting the new immigrants. After negotiations with the current 30 million residents of Mars who moved 50 years ago, they have agreed to accept 1,700,000 newcomers.

The original colonists of Mars decided to accept 1.7 million people as an act of humanitarianism. Not long after the first starship carrying 12,000 humans was deployed from earth, 3 of 5 launching docks located in the American continent were destroyed from unknown explosions, leading to a conflict for those waiting to board the 180 remaining starships. 150 starships were destroyed by attacks and raids, and in the end, only 150,000 of the initial 1.7 million people were able to board the starships. The social status of these new immigrants were unclear.

1,000 year plan
for reviving earth,
the Project 'Gaia'

The sky was covered by dust. The world became dark. The earth’s surface dropped to -7 Celsius, creating a layer of thick ice. The nitric oxide level sharply increased, leading to the destruction of earth’s ozone layer. The earth became exposed to massive amounts of the sun’s UV, leading to a mass extinction of living creatures on earth. Plants mutated and the extinction of plankton in the ocean led to the collapse of marine life. The pouring acid rain prevented the cultivation of crops, resulting in a shortage of food.

Now all mankind can believe is ‘Gaia’, a 1,000 year global regeneration project.

Logout and find the stolen SEED

One day, a crack occurred in the metaverse ‘theia’ and people began to get deleted. The SEEDs, which are stored 10,000 meters deep underground in the Earth’s server tunnel, have disappeared.

You must log out to determine the cause and retrieve the SEED. Now the whole story begins on the ruined Earth.
