October 31, 2020. A sudden natural disaster, appearing alongside a strange fog, changed everything in the world. Disasters are fundamentally irresistible forces that cannot be stopped or eradicated, but usually, damage can be mitigated to some extent through prior prediction, preventive measures, disaster prevention facilities, and rapid response and recovery. However, this event easily surpassed such categories. The fog, laden with salt and mysterious particulates, rapidly corroded and broke down precision metal equipment, neutralizing all electronic and communication devices. Satellites fell silent, and even weapons and tools relying on gunpowder failed to function, breaking down and losing their utility. Tsunamis that struck all the world's coasts simultaneously and powerful earthquakes that occurred throughout the inland collapsed all structures on the surface, completely destroying the foundations of civilization. In effect, governments and societies collapsed, leaving only about 3 million surviving humans. These were the few who survived through a dramatic combination of early judgment and luck, but survival did not immediately mean safety. In the post-disaster world, everything from eating, drinking, and maintaining body temperature to self-defense had to be handled by oneself. Food, drinking water, medicine, technology, and a comfortable, convenient life—all were products of civilization. Civilization was built through countless processes, but very few people actually knew all those processes properly, and hunger and fear were enough to paralyze people's reason. People who lost their reason competed with each other for limited resources to survive, and some even resorted to cannibalism, unable to endure the hunger. However, this competition and slaughter did not last very long. Many were seriously injured or lost their lives in the process, and only meaningless consumption continued. Consequently, people realized that rather than hurting each other over resources that would soon be exhausted, it was much wiser to avoid unnecessary conflict and find long-term survival methods for themselves. People returned to nature. The benefits of civilization were long gone, and only nature waited with open arms. Those who decided to live in nature mobilized everything they could in the wild and grew through various trials and errors. They trained and adapted themselves to nature's tests for survival. In that process, human civilization naturally regressed to a Mesolithic level, and social structures shrank from nations or cities to individuals or small groups. As avoiding large-scale conflict and focusing on self-sufficiency became the most stable way of survival, the existing social systems built by humans were fundamentally reorganized. Returning to the past was now an impossible dream. Even if everything has changed and every day has become a question of life and death, humans are animals of adaptation. Optimists looking for something to laugh about even at this moment, Hedonists living for today while surrendering to instinct and pleasure, And those who burn with the will to survive for their companions and their respective beliefs, continue their survival in their own ways. Reasons for surviving varied, but only one thing was the same. Those who intended to survive, survived until the end in any situation. Can you survive until the end in this Survival World?
