Entropy Scars: The Silence of the End

They were told that the nightmare of the Third World War in the old world ended in nuclear fire and the ravages of bioweapons. But the power brokers of the five nations who spun this lie of a "Blank Canvas" knew the truth: the catastrophe that devoured half the planet, known as the "Crimson Death Knell," was caused not by the weapons of mortals, but by the collapse of reality's rules after humanity touched a forbidden dimension. The rampage of Non-Standard Entities (NSEs) tore apart the very fabric of reality.

Now, the cracks have never been sealed. The horrors concealed from view seep through the gaps in this illusory peace.

EDC: They are guardians by necessity, measuring entropy gradients along the razor's edge. On one side, the bottomless "Rifts" spew chaos that dissolves every rule. On the other, there is the truth borne by the "Cornerstone" and the deepening divisions among the five nations. They must also watch out for the "Echoes of the Abyss," a cult that embraces chaos. Every victory is no more than a brief respite that delays the end, and every decision leaves a new stain in the abyss of ethics. When the means of preserving order become more twisted than chaos itself, and the death knell of the past becomes today's echo, how long can humanity keep this tiny flame of reason burning in a cosmic river destined to be swallowed by the flow of entropy?
