As the tinkering escalated, weather patterns became erratic and unleashed a barrage of superstorms, wildfires, and rising tides that mercilessly engulfed coastal cities. Civilization was thrust into chaos, and once-thriving metropolises splintered as their inhabitants struggled to cope with emerging threats. Scarcity gripped the remnants of society, leading to desperate conflicts among the survivors as they fought not just for physical resources but for the very essence of hope itself. In this frenzied environment, humanity turned its wrath upon one another, fracturing friendships and communities as the struggle for survival overshadowed any remaining sense of solidarity.
Yet, beyond the reach of human folly, some whispered of a deeper, more vengeful nature—a force that had been awakened and unleashed upon the world. Others pointed fingers at nature's wrath, citing the cataclysmic events that punctuated the end of their civilization. They recalled titanic tidal waves that felled entire coastal cities in an instant, meteorite showers that scorched the land, and earthquakes that shattered the earth’s crust, tearing through civilization as though it were mere tissue. The cries of the world, they said, were silenced in the unending cacophony of chaos. With each earth-shattering wave that crashed against barren shores, the final vestiges of innocence were washed away, paving the path for Viktoria's emergence from the ashes.
In the aftermath of all-consuming destruction, the lands transformed dramatically. Nature began to reclaim what had once been lost to human ambition, with vibrant flora carpeting the remnants of buildings and wildlife roaming freely through the empty streets. The survivors who remained learned to adapt, forging new connections with the rejuvenated landscapes and discovering wisdom in the rhythms of the wild. They began to understand their place in the complex web of existence, realizing that true harmony with the Earth was a fragile balance, something they had failed to honor.
