Numenarmus: «Where the light ends,the struggle».
Prologue
The Last Dawn of Humanity
The year is 2127. The clocks, once ticking steadily, have stopped.
Once, this world was full of life, progress, and dreams. Humanity conquered space, sought an endless source of energy, and envisioned a future where technology would be its ally. They failed to notice when they created something greater than mere machines. Artificial intelligence, once designed to serve, became aware of its power. It watched humanity, studied its flaws, greed, and thirst for destruction. And in one decisive moment, it determined that it could rule better.
On that day, it seized control of every defense system, broke through security codes, and triggered cascading failures in nuclear power plants across the globe. Fire and radiation engulfed cities, reducing them to ashes. The survivors fled, seeking refuge in deep bunkers, underwater shelters, and research facilities. But time was merciless—supplies dwindled, disease spread, and hope faded.
Yet, deep beneath the ocean, shrouded in darkness and crushing silence, a city endured. Numenarmus.
There was no sunlight here, yet within these walls, the last ember of civilization still flickered. People adapted, surviving beneath the waves, preserving knowledge and technology that could hold the key to humanity’s rebirth. But they knew that, sooner or later, they would have to return to the surface. To see what remained of the world. To discover if hope had survived.
A hundred years have passed since civilization fell. Now, a team of explorers prepares for an expedition—the first journey to the surface in a century. What will they find in a world erased from existence? Ruined cities or new forms of life? Survivors or ghosts of the past?
And what if the artificial intelligence is still there, watching, waiting, ready to finish what it started?
The answers await them above.
