Chapter 1 - The beginning to the end |
Abandoning the Earth of mankind...
Earth, a planet with so much history, home to mankind
and the birthplace for so many stories and events.
It’s purpose to bring forth life and the meaning
to why we are here. Unbeknownst to us, it holds
deep dark secrets that will play their part in the
story of RF Online, a story that will unfold before
you and whisk you up into an adventure where you
are key. |
Novus our last hope

After the “First
Galaxy Development Plan” was initiated, it
was deemed unnecessary to further research Earth
any further. The human race was expanding beyond
this solar system and galaxy, with opportunities
lying beyond the stars, not back home. History,
it seemed, held no important information for mankind’s
evolution.
The Antarctic, once a key location for researchers
and scientists, became a distant memory as the “Forth
Galaxy Development Plan” was initiated. The
cold lands housing the interests of curious amateur
research laboratories, manned by retired researchers
and scientists.
The retired biologist Soburg Ivanovich was a member
of the Arcane Club, where scholars and amateur researchers
looked into the mysterious histories and the origins
of civilizations, often largely neglected by other
scholars.
Traditional mainstream academics considered the
Arcane Club as a ‘Rich Boy’s Club’;
a social gathering for wealthy gentlemen. The theories
and ideas emanating from this elite group were held
in contempt, with few believing in their outlandish
interpretations. This group were looked upon with
scepticism, a mistake that would inevitably be costly
to the human race.
Soburg Ivanovich, a member of the Arcane Club, arrived
at the Antarctic to research the creatures living
in this distant and inhospitable part of the Earth.
The work he carried out did not get the attention
it deserved, since it was believed that all the
living things this area had or was playing home
to, had already been discovered. Moreover, the fact
that he was a member of the Arcane Club instilled
a sense of cynicism among his peers. It was not
until he discovered the Dimens Syndrome Virus, that
his ideas and discoveries were treated with respect.
This Arcane Virus, discovered hundreds of metres
below the ice cap of the Antarctic’s ‘eastern
lands’, excited Ivanovich immensely, his research
findings and hard work finally paying off. He brought
the virus straight back into his laboratory to begin
testing. Despite being trapped in the ice for tens
of thousands of years, the virus was still in an
active state, living in a state of hibernation,
waiting to be triggered back into life from its
once dormant state
Ivanovich carefully defrosted the ice in the anticipation
that he would prove to the world that there was
still life left in the Antarctic area, and that
his name would be remembered forever.
However, he did not know that this discovery would
bring the end to all mankind. The now defrosted
virus infected his mind. At first he thought the
headaches were a direct result of his cold, but
within a day, himself and his colleagues became
infected by the virus.
They all began to show an abnormal aggression towards
each other and extreme desire to hurt and destroy
one another. These extreme behavioural problems
drove them all to their eventual painful deaths.
A transport ship, informed of this dire situation,
was dispatched to collect the researchers’
bodies. Its return journey would prove to be a costly
mistake.
Using the transport ship as a conduit, the Arcane
virus quickly spread throughout Earth, leaving no
stone unturned, and no creature untouched. The contagion
was unlike any virus discovered or created by man.
Humans on earth took on the traits of the infected
researchers, killing each other and finally firing
nuclear weapons toward the human colonies on Mars
and Saturn. Defending themselves, the inhabitants
of Mars and Saturn retaliated, firing their own
salvos of nuclear warheads toward the Earth. Mankind’s
self-destruction and demise in the solar system
had begun.
Further outposts in the galaxy were left in a state
of shock by what was happening in this solar system,
leading to an organized group of investigators being
dispatched to the planets in the solar system. What
they found was death and decay; many polluted with
radioactivity, the solar system now a desolate wasteland.
The investigators soon realized that it was going
to be an impossible task finding anyone alive, the
cause of destruction to the solar system to remain
a mystery forever. However, the investigators were
to soon discover the truth behind the devastation,
for unbeknownst to them, the Arcane virus, immune
to the radiation, had infected one of the investigation
team.
The Arcane virus was still active, despite the heat
and radiation produced from the nuclear explosions.
The resilient viral design had shut down its life
activity, leaving it in a state of hibernation ironically
familiar to how Ivanovich had discovered it originally.
After losing most of the investigation team, the
remaining team members came to realise the truth
behind the destruction of Earth and the solar system,
all be it too late for them.
The B-13 sector acting as a base for the 4th galaxy
development plan became the centre of administration
after the fall of the solar system. The government
of the B-13 sector stipulated that the Arcane virus
was a very dangerous organism and had to be contained.
Over time, the disaster on Earth and to the solar
system began to fade away into distant memory. Mankind
moved forward burying the memories of this terrible
time. |
