Project Damien: Lord of Shadows

"The world must unite to get to the next age." These were the first words from Raymond Weir, director of a company called Corporation , whose political machinery was dealing with the idea of ​​world government. Thanks to the support he received, mainly thanks to his company, which developed new technologies and helped progress in various fields, he succeeded only a few years after he expressed his opinion on the wars that began to shake the world. At the beginning of 2052, several countries began to fear a possible nuclear attack, and some took subsequent steps to control part of the world - Europe, Asia, and America were shaken by battles that lasted for years, until the director of the Corporation took matters firmly into his own hands. His company had been engaged in the development of new technologies for years, and they were mainly engaged in researching an unknown new element whose deposits were found in Antarctica - a type of crystal whose core contained a high amount of energy based on the mutual bonds of living organisms that were constantly replicating. This has contributed to enormous progress in science, technology, the military and medicine. Thanks to technological advancement, the Corporation managed to stop the fighting all over the world, cause political upheaval and dominate countries whose technologies and mindsets, according to Remond Weir, belonged to the past. And so the world finally made peace and could begin to further develop and prosper, mainly thanks to the element they named Energonite, the uses of which could be applied in various industries. The world achieved the first achievements of the new era - the first base on the moon, a space station that also served as a port for spaceships that began to be built, and humanity reached the time when it began to expand beyond its planet - into space. Deposits of Energonite were also found on other planets, and as the main resource in Antarctica began to be depleted, the Corporation began mining on other planets as well. There, on one of the planets, they come across an alien race that evolved from lizards, in similar conditions to humans on Earth, but with the fact that they had been working with energonite since the beginning of their civilization. So they had much more advanced technology and the war that continues to this day began - a fight against an alien race that dominated the worlds and found use in everything they found. The EX virus, a disaster that hit humanity violently and overwhelmingly, turns people into primitive bloodthirsty predators and nature into a hostile and dangerous one for humanity. Earth, the planet that was the main home of humanity and the most populated compared to other planets and stations, found itself in a vortex of self-destruction where humanity was losing against this new virus. No one knows exactly what caused the spread of the virus. Some conspiracies claim the failure of an energonite reactor in a chemical laboratory, which caused the creation of the energonite virus X. Others claim a possible "fist of God" that struck people's separation from religion and belief. The official position of the Corporation, however, claims that the EX virus originated from an alien race of lizards, known as Arrax, who used a small and fast ship to transport the virus to Earth. However, wherever the truth is, one thing was clear - except for places protected by powerful energonite fields, where people could live safely from the virus, Earth became an inhospitable planet whose atmosphere could infect anyone who did not have immunity and turn him into a wild beast, just like she did with most of the fauna and flora. However, since the space in the safe zones is limited, the Corporation began dividing the population into groups according to usefulness - they used energonite particles to measure the human brain after reaching a certain age, on the basis of which they were able to determine for which job position a person has the best mental and physical abilities. As space was scarce, anyone of insufficient utility was conscripted and worked outside the safe zones, trying to reclaim lost territory to expand the safe zones, or deploy to fight the Arrax. Humanity again lost the peace it longed for and again felt the pain and fear of endless fighting, which breathed life into a new group, a community of people called the Resistance, who preached different views, contrary to the first world president - that people should return to life in peace and faith in their own world, interfering with nothing but their own lives. The resistance mostly consisted of people who had immunity to the EX virus, who were most often recruited by the System into military service, seeing their potential in obtaining raw materials and creating new bases on Earth. After less than a century of peace, humanity returned to fighting not only against another race, but also among themselves, and the Corporation reached for a new option, which was genetic modification using energonite. They began to create a serum, using the EX virus as a base, in an attempt to create a superhuman army of people who could incorporate energonite into their DNA, which would help them solve all their problems.
