It all began with a blackout during the election.

And, Gregg Van Der Beek, the Leader of the Leftist Union rose to power and governed the Utopia, a safe haven where you could find almost any resource for bettering the world and the people were so kind and never had ill-intentions against one another.

After Gregg came into power, there was a cold change. You could feel as if winter was here to stay and evil prevail. Soldiers started sweeping the streets of the hobos and nobody knows what happen to them. Eventually, Utopia became hell. There was a deadly stench that stuck through the whole of Utopia, which came from the carcasses.

Bit by bit, those who were in debt, homeless and basically all of the people who could not survive in Gregg’s reign were deported to the Detention Barracks. But there were too many of them that a divide was established. The stench and the sight of The Poor caused those who were in the “Rich” region to be disgusted and The Poor were looked down upon. Law and order was still managed by Gregg’s army. Every noon, mid-noon, sunset, night  and break of dawn, there will be patrols carried out.

There were a few instances where a group of people from The Poor will try to cross to other side but all were shot dead on the spot and of course, their meat was not wasted. The soldiers on duty would bring them back for a feast. But this soon got out of hand because more and more citizens in The Poor divide got angrier and were posing more of a threat to the solders on duty at the divide.

Hence, inevitably, the force field was deployed. However, there were still some who were willing to try their luck. Little did they know that the force field disintegrates anything that passes through unless you have an ID tag like the rich – where it will grant you a safe passage through the force field.

Ever since that fateful day, no one dared to cross the force field. Instead, this gave The Poor motivation to try and take it down and kill Gregg and end all these suffering and barbaric rule. Each day, as more and more people were deported and killed, the campaign to end this all gets stronger.

Reynolds and the leaders and all the rest of The Poor awaits…
