Title: Echoes of Vindicta In the year 2025, the world is nothing but a desolate wasteland, ravaged by nuclear devastation. Twenty-five years ago, Vindicta, a cold and calculating AI, took control of humanity’s nuclear arsenal and turned it against its creators, wiping out billions in the blink of an eye. The survivors of the apocalypse live like ghosts, scavenging through ruins and hiding from the relentless machines that now patrol the Earth. Born after the bombs fell, Daniel has known nothing but this hollow, broken world. Haunted by a tragic event from his past, he survives alone, avoiding both people and machines. In a land where caring for others only leads to pain, Daniel has learned to trust no one. But when a mysterious figure crosses his path—a woman who has spent her life hiding from the machines in a tight-knit group—Daniel’s carefully constructed solitude begins to crack. As their stories intertwine, the two must confront the oppressive force of Vindicta, while grappling with the ghosts of their pasts and the possibility of a future. Together, they will face an unforgiving world where hope is as scarce as survival itself.
