As far as time goes, it has been 1,000 years since the collapsed world and a new era of human genome was started where human growth was stunt, but due to the excessive advancement in human technology, a lot of things were safer than in my time. I could remember those days when such things were just a little stranger. The collapse signifies the time when the technology and timeline of humans did not matter what may happen because there was a swear error in the timeline of human civilization as the portals and the ancient seals had been lifted. There was no present, no past and no future because all in all. Everything combined and poured into a jug, some of us named it the "Granter of wishes ``. The myth was that in every era, some souls that the landmarks of human civilization were poured in the jug but one day it cracked and the spirits as well as all the evil of the world started eroding the various worlds. Ask me how I knew so much because I saw the evil being poured out and destroying everything. I was alive so I fought against the overflowing currents of the sins and the thing that happened was the one feared by all. It was the apocalypse. I named it so because I knew it was that but it`s currents were just mild as Ellaya once told me. Ask me who she is. She is everything to me. She was just a stray cat and I adopted her as my daughter. The fact is she is amazing. She told me once she made the jug to hold all evil in the world and because I was ready to fight against all evil in the world, she had chosen me as her guardian. As she said, I treated her like a stray and adopted her, made fun of her and gave her some good memories cause she was woken up every day by her nightmares so I promised to protect and nothing else. I will kill, kill and kill till the end of times as long as I can make her smile and make her happy. I will force myself to be happy throughout the ages as time flows. I will always try to protect her.
I can recall those days when the time flow was altered and all the beings that survived could not age and became more or less the same. No one could age, said some. However, it was only true to a few lucky individuals, namely I was one of them. I stopped aging. The thing that needs to be certified is that humans by no means have entered into a new age. It is the opposite. Time has collapsed so theoretically there is no future at all now. The technologies of the current collapsed era are the condensation of the brilliant minds of all ages meaning there is no past, no present and no future. Simply, all the generations of human civilization up to the last generation are coexisting at the same time now. They have but one enemy "The Apocalypse " .This phenomenon is unknown as to how it will happen but it has been certified that it is a world ending one and there are many beasts or more simply it`s agents that are somewhat Depraved. Anyone can become one of the Depraved.

The Depraved are the monsters that live on other people like how the humans had been doing to each other for the past millennia. Some curious and inquisitive minds would be bubbling up to ask how all of it makes sense. The simple answer would be how they are not connected. The first thing that one must establish is a link to the specific word “Deprave” as someone who had lost all honor and dignity. Are they monsters or are they humans? No one knows for sure but one thing is sure no one is safe from them. In the time before the collapsed world, people used to talk about machines that could bring them into the past or send someone into the future. These were pretty good assumptions and dreams in the past but if anyone heard someone saying it as fun, they would also make a joke and will cut one of your arms as a friendly reminder that the world may be peaceful but they are not. Fear, yes it is the fear of becoming a Deprave that makes all the humans into creatures that would eat their own species just to survive and stop from becoming a Deprave.
The world as it existed before no more did and the Depraved could appear anytime and anywhere. Anyone can become a Deprave as long as the malice has something to eat. It is as though all of us could become Depraved at any time so bringing down the competition further down or to use Darwinians’ term the survival of the fittest. The thing was if you lied, you would have a better chance of becoming a Deprave. It usually showed up like a mark on the body so everyone is very secretive, not knowing who might kill them for being a Deprave and what not. Simply put, in such a condition, how a civilization could flourish but it did. Humans as being the toughest worms as they are found a way and it was the culmination of all the human technology scraped together from all times to make huge walls to separate the divide. Depraves came in many shapes and sizes all for different purposes. It might seem like they have had intelligence. Most of them had it. That is what made it so hard to accomplish. They came in different forms depending on the people's beliefs and consciousness that had made into existence. Yes, impure thoughts were the basis of their entire lifeline. Maybe this was the reason we were spared so that more of them may form and there may become more of them. What else did they had to do except wait and eventually all humanity would fall into eternal chaos with a fight with themselves. However, there is a but in this long sequence of fights............
