Gunlocke Chapter 1 [Disembark]

In the year 2020, the world was quickly depleting many of its natural resources, mainly petroleum oil and fossil fuels. Pollution was on the rise, and temperatures climbed at an exponential rate. Because of this global outcry, countries began to demand other countries to share some of their resources. The constant feud over eventually sparked a global resource war, which quickly escalated into a new missile crisis. China, Russia, Iraq, Japan, Cuba, France, Great Britain, and the United States of America along with smaller allied countries began to fight their wars with fire. Nuclear bombs went off in major cities all around the world, killing millions. The radiation and debris caused a thermonuclear winter that eventually killed off 70% of the world population and caused a sixth mass extinction.

150 years later, the nuclear winter ended. Now, deserts plague the Earth with very little green patches left. Humanity began to pick itself back up after surviving in primitive conditions. Cities began to pop up, but they were nothing like they were before. There were cities made of metal. Everything ran of electricity generated by steam. It was a new steam-punk style era. Cities were vastly spread apart, so one would need to brave harsh terrain to get to another city or village.

A new natural resource was found as a result from the radiation. This strange new element, element 119, had new strange properties. They were magical in a sense, which gave it its new name -- Magium. It was dangerous to handle raw, so they were placed in specialized pills. These pills were eventually implemented in machines and weapons, primarily to combat a new threat -- Monsters.

The wildlife that once inhabited the Earth mutated as a result of the radiation. They turned into ravenous beasts. Humans fought back with their new magic infused weapons to keep them at bay. Humanity began to pick itself up again, but who knows what threats may come. Now, the year is 2250, 80 years after Magium's discovery.
   Haven is the largest city known to be using Magium as a primary energy source. It is clean, efficient, and has no pollution production. However, the city is slowly running out of this precious resource. A letter has been send out to all citizens as a call to action, a cry for help. Those who volunteer must be willing to venture out of the city and into the wastelands, where monsters and bandits call home. Very little people showed up, including you.

You have been sitting in the hot sun for two hours. The heat is unbearable, and no one has much water left. You all find shade against the exiting gate of Haven, counting your Magium pills. All of you have 10 pills, 5 of which are stored in a special case. The other 5 are in your pocket, which risks the danger of them falling out of getting stolen.

Suddenly, you hear a deep male voice coming from a loud speaker atop a tall poll:
"All volunteers of the Haven Magium Recovery Project may now embark. Stay safe!"
There is a long dirt path that is hardly visible. It is implied that you must follow it.
