Some time ago, a major event abruptly changed everyone's lives in a metropolis called Pineville. A large, strange object fell from the sky, cracking the land within Pineville. Over time, it physically divided and changed it. The event, which further created a mixture of confusion, fear, and intrigue; gradually brought about changes within everyone's genetics. Even though it caused some people to become better citizens, others became worse. They became horrible versions of themselves; monstrous.




Many of the good banded together, doing their best to rebuild from their losses. The Guardian, among the first of those people, put forth efforts that led to the creation of Hock City. Later, Uhmandra was created. But there were some others who used the event to gradually gain power. Secretly they used the event to position themselves to control others. Now more divided than ever, Pineville has been separated into regions due to the event. While some are friendly, others are not so much.




Through his journeys, Langston came across some of these types of people. He has made new friends and allies, shaking up their once quiet lives. But everything he and friends think they know about the event . . . will change once they meet Hakra.
