The Full Story

About

Ark stands as a colossal biodome, safeguarding the last remnants of Earth's population. Its towering structure rises from the ground, encapsulating humanity within, while its powerful engine lies embedded below. Inside Ark, the survivors of The Long War, a devastating 300-year conflict that nearly eradicated mankind, struggle to survive. The Ark is divided into two cities: the Upper and the Under Cities. The Upper City is inhabited by ordinary humans while the Under City is full of Blightbloods, which are humans that have evolved with various mutations and abilities.

The Rules of Ark

Rule one—never leave home before turning twelve.

Rule two—never breathe the bad air.

Rule three—never enter the Under City alone.

Rule four—never dare befriend a Blightblood.

The Great Celebration

The Great Celebration is an annual event for the Upper citizens, who come together at the colosseum in the Under City, known as The Pit. Here, they witness the grim spectacle of Blightbloods, compelled to engage in deadly pit-fights. This ritual reflects the stark divides in their society, blending entertainment with a chilling display of survival. Each year, it serves as a reminder of the harsh realities faced by those below.
