Element U

Almost 500 years have passed since the modern world we know today fell, and all have come to ruin under dire conditions that plagued all nations. A blight of food, exhaustion of water, and depletion of resources brought on international distress that led to nuclear warfare for survival and complete antihalation of all humankind. Billions wiped out in mere days.

A new dawn of man roams our world, one altered by the radiation levels in this human-made hellscape. Animals, plants, and all continents have been shifted to endure these severe restraints. Monsters evolved from beasts of the past, now genetic terrors that scour the craters of this wasteland. Humanity is nothing more than a relic of the past.

Yet man finds a way. Hope is present in the Paladinian people as they raise their young to fight and survive in this new world. One sole boy is gifted with radiated capability to lead them, protect them, and usher them into a brighter tomorrow. But will he?

Element U: Enter into a world pushed to its limits

You step outside your deadwood slanted household, ash-gray gravel cushions your worn soles. As you shield your eyes from the intensified Sun beaming down from above a rapid rough wind whips loose sediment into your face. Air tainted from ages of radiation exposure, you wrap your pale skin in animal hide to shield yourself from the harsh conditions you’ve grown accustomed to since birth. Others forced to do the same, their place in the clan set in stone. There is no escaping the hierarchy, the environment, nor the beasts beyond the village walls.

Survival is futile, but one holds the key to changing it all. To restoring man's place in the world.

This is the story captured within Element U. Evolved beyond the post apocalyptic state brought on by nuclear warfare, this new world cradles new life. A new chance for humanity to rise again, but will they?
