Interlude 1: The Russo Family Heritage(Special short chapter that doesnt hit the word count)

This only came into light after the Russo's fell but,
Ronove Russo himself actually did not advocate for the approval of the rock he himself discover.
Rather, it was his son Roswell who pushed forward with the idea of making the rock public.
He was the one who pushed forward the idea of selling the rock as the answer to Humanity's troubles. 
He was also the one who led the Russo Family to unite the world.
He was a complete tyrant, who believed that only he could make the world right.
He initially wasn't like this.
He only became like this after witnessing the truth of the Ronove Rock.
Something about Roswell changed that day, which caused him to go against his father's wishes.
It is said in certain circles back then, that the Nova Collapse of Rome was caused by Roswell Russo.
While many derided the theory as nothing but a mere conspiracy, there were some who insisted it as the truth.
This initially led to a religious group of fanatics who blamed Ronove Russo and Ronove itself for causing the world to collapse.
The group was called Regression for Humanity.(RFH)
They preached for a regression back to the era before we landed on the moon.
While initially they were nothing but a group of peacful protesters with fanatic beliefs,
They soon turned to violence and started conflicts in countries that fell under the Russo Rule.
They caused conflicts like
the American Wars of the 2030s
The Coup of Western Germany
And the UAE Incident.

It is unknown what happened to the RFH after the 2030s.
Some said they still exist in the underbelly of china.
Some say the Russo wiped them all out during the UAE incident.
Some say that the group had managed to inflitrate the Russo family.
Incidentally, there is a blank period in the Russo family history, in between the 4th and 5th game.
Records are vauge about who excatly ruled the Russo during that period and what decisions they made during that time.
All we know was that, there was actually no winner for both of those games.

Instead, the Russo family was led by a mysterious Randolf.
He appeared out of nowhere one day, during the start of the 4th games.
The games were at their peak and everyone was excited for the 4th game.
He just appeared at the stakeholder meeting one day and proclaimed he had murdered every contestant in the 4th game.
OF course no one believed him and they immetidately took him captive, wanting to execute him for daring to defy the family.
However, when the family went to check on the participants, all they saw was blood everywhere and the contestants dead on the floor.
And so for the first time ever, the 4th games had ended before it even begun.
It was unknown what happened to Randolf at that time but many thought he would have already been executed for causing such a disaster.
However, on the eve of the 5th game.
There appeared Randolf on the screen, appearing as a special contestant under the Russo name.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Many called the stunt a scam, not helped by the fact that the Russo family refused to explain themselves.
They only came out with the statement that Randolf would enter the games and win his freedom back only if he won the 5th games.
To compensate for this, the Russo family specially hired 7 of the then world's strongest figthers to particpate, with Randolf as a special 8th participant.
In a shocking twist of fate, Randolf demolished the entire competition.
The Russos had to keep their word and let Randolf go.
It is unknown what happened to Randolf after that.
He declined his win and just left to parts unknown.
Incidentally, it was after the 5th Games did the Russo family became more tyrannric.
While they were always tyrannical in their rules, many would say that they only became more extreme after 5th games.
Almost as if it was in an effort to cover up their fellings from the past 14 years.
IT was also around this period that the RFH was no longer in the news.
