Ashveil

HopelessDrunkerd
After the moon landing of 1969, something came back. Hidden in the dust was a microscopic organism one that didn’t just infect, but broke reality apart. What followed wasn’t a war. It was a slow unraveling. Governments crumbled, cities tore themselves inside out, and people became things twisted by something science couldn’t understand. Monsters, time-loops, void storms by the time humanity figured out what it was facing, it was already too late. Only twelve nations survived, sealing themselves behind colossal walls, cutting contact, and trying to outlast the chaos. Each became its own world, ruled by necessity, not idealism. The Walled City of New Era once the last hope of Canada and the U.S. stands alone in the northern frost. Born after the Black Winter of '87, it survives on rations, silence, and the guns mounted into its walls like old gods. Communication with the other bastions is still possible, but costly. Sometimes, even deadly. Outside, the beasts still roam. Inside, people hold on not to peace, but to purpose. Soldiers die. Ammunition runs low. And yet, new roles form, like the Wall Guardian, who watches what sensors miss and rings alarms when machines fail. Because sometimes, machines just can’t see what’s real anymore. But for all that was lost, humanity hasn’t fallen. Not yet. Ashveil is the story of what comes after the end. Of twelve fractured nations standing in the ashes of Earth, surrounded by horrors not of this world… and refusing to die quietly.
