Our Story
It was the first of the month, a Monday, and strangely a new day. Everyone started to wake up in the morning. Someone was drinking his soft warm coffee, someone was picking up his heavy bag, and another was putting on his shoes. Everyone was living their usual day, going to work, bringing their kids to school, and focusing on their new task of the day, as if they had never done that the day before, or 2 days ago. Well, the truth is that they were repeating the same day that the people in power had required them to do.
Decades ago humanity, with every man killing his brother, was in danger, and those in power called the Ten Rings, came up with a solution to preserve humankind and the Earth: a brain chip called “Stark 82”.This metal well-preserved device was able to control entirely the individual it was in, and by putting them in every single person’s brain they were able to save the world.
But the greediness was starting to appear in the Ten Rings’ minds and, since they could do every single action and every single sin, they decided to change people’s opinions, personalities, and preferences, and, as if it wasn’t enough, they decided to radicalise the masses, so that they could live in luxury.But one day, a boy was born. His name was Bardock, and for some inexplicable reasons, the doctors had put the chip in his brain but forgot to activate it, so every action taken by the Ten Rings was never vitalized in Bardock. The boy was the first low-class human to experience freedom in ages, and fate decided that it would be him, who would free the humans by the overbearing power of the Ten Ring…..
