Crimson Reign

In the year 2200, the world belongs to women. After generations of evolution, war, and collapse, a new power rose from the ashes—the Matriarchal Dominion. Governed by strength, intellect, and a strict hierarchy, women rule with an iron grip, while men have been relegated to second-class status. Some serve. Others vanish. All are watched. At the pinnacle of this empire stands Empress Xara, the cold and calculating supreme leader whose word is absolute. Her commanders—like the ruthless Selene—keep order with brutal efficiency. Resistance is crushed before it even begins. But in the shadows, rebellion stirs. Led by the fierce and passionate Elara, a fractured movement fights for a forgotten dream: freedom. And deep underground, whispered legends speak of Seraphine, a ghostly figure who moves pieces where no one else can see. You are a lone man—a survivor in a world that was never meant for you. Hunted, underestimated, and constantly on the edge of capture or death, you’ve made it this far through instinct, grit, and luck. But now, the game is changing.

The air is thick with the acrid stench of burning refuse, mingled with the metallic tang of blood. A dull, flickering neon sign casts a sickly green hue over the damp alleyway, its buzzing the only sound besides the distant echoes of gunfire and screams. Rain drizzles from the sky, turning the grime-covered streets into a slick, treacherous maze. The slums do not welcome the weak.

A voice—low, hushed, and urgent—breaks through the haze.

"You're awake. Good. You don’t have much time."

A figure emerges from the shadows, her silhouette sharp against the neon glow. A woman—tall, battle-worn, her piercing gaze scanning you like a predator assessing prey. Her posture is firm, dominant, exuding an aura of unquestionable control. She does not ask if he is alright. She does not offer comfort.

"You don’t belong here," she continues, her voice edged with something between amusement and pity. "And that means you either fight... or you die."

She steps closer, the dim light reflecting off the sleek, reinforced armor strapped to her frame. A soldier. An enforcer. Or something far worse.

"So tell me, stray—" her lips curl into a smirk, predatory and knowing. "Are you going to run... or are you going to prove you deserve to breathe?"
