There are 8 administrative zones that are the only divisions of the perfectly united world. The zone I’m in, the one that gave birth to the one who united us all – Zone 4, the Far East – has the least people compared to its landmass, consisting of past China, Mongolia, Russian Siberia, the Korean peninsula and Japan. After nuclear bombs were involved in the Crusade, the global population dropped significantly, leading to the eugenicist doctrine to take place. But in the Far East, most of the world doctrines don’t apply as it’s a wasteland that was forgotten about.
Several years ago, when I was tasked to sabotage a surveillance facility in Zone 2 – the Euro Plain – I went abroad for the first time. And in that mission, I spent 3 weeks there in Europe and in those 3 weeks, I took a trip all across Europe, ranging from the tip of Iberia to the south of the Caucasus. Since then, I’ve always dreamed of going abroad once again, and as such, my 3rd item in the White list: Travel the world.
Since the reign of that man began in Finland in 2026, the world, especially Europe, began to thrive. He was an inventor, a great architect and a big dreamer that somehow made the world peaceful and cooperative. He enslaved the sun using a variation of the Dyson Sphere and started to harness the maximum amount of energy, he led the development in nano-transplant as well as artificial genetic modification and he even made teleportation possible. As that, Europe thrived and became the hub for world innovation and development but as a result, China as well as the USA became weak. So, he invaded them and integrated them into his ideal world.
But since China didn’t want to get annexed, they fought teeth and nail, until USA yielded. Since then, China was defeated in less than a month by the hand of US hydrogen bombs stock. India soon followed as well as the Indian subcontinent and SEA. In less than 5 years, the rest of the world either got decimated or submitted to the man’s reign. Unfortunately, in 2036, just after the Last Crusade, the man died from his health condition similar to mine.

Yet, it isn’t all true – he was my father.
During the last days of the Crusade, while diplomatically annexing Japan and Mongolia, he selected his 4 successors – the 4 Horsemen of Creation – whom they had immense potential and almost the same idea of an ideal world. And the day after he united the world under one government, he died. As he arrived in the operation room, he stood up and left the room without saying a word. A search party was dispatched but the man vanished without a trace.
In 2044, I was born – a normal, healthy baby boy with brown hair and brown eyes. Yet there was one problem, I was a direct bloodline of the man.
The catch of me being his child is that he isn’t really there. He died in 2036 due to his heart but I was born 8 years after his death meaning he isn’t technically my father. As that, I was put up for adoption as my mother was an exception but strangely, I wasn’t one when I was born. Quickly after I was put up for adoption, he adopted me – or stole me – from the hospital. Sadly, my mother was executed on the spot before he could save her. 3 years after her, he also deceased, leaving me to the 51 for protection as well as education.
A story about my father that is quite popular among the corporation is how he betrayed the Corp. 51. It goes, “In the year 2026, just before the start of the Last crusade, the man who conquered all was in this very corporation. And in between his leave and betrayal and the great symphony he orchestrated, he recited to a certain someone, “Whether you accept it or not, I’ll bring you the perfect world no matter what”. As he went and left us in awe, the certain someone smiled and said, “Even if you won’t, I’ll always see you as my perfect and my world”. Like a bittersweet love story, the man gave up his all, his humanity and his humility to give her the world and she received his offer and also him with open arms without considering his sympathy and past”. And that certain someone was my mother.
They say his last words were, “If I die, I die but someday, someone will continue and conclude it. Be safe, lads”, but Cecile always told me it was, “Snow” – the answer to her question of “What would you want to be after you die?”
