Humanity has fallen, hiding underground for the sake of their survival. Clinging to the remains of the old civilization, bringing back old vehicles and modifying them to become battle-machines, steeds to lead the human resistance against their enemy, the harbingers of their collapse: The Razorgen. Highly advanced Biomechanical beings resembling animals that once roamed the Earth. The story follows Thomas Mere and Mia Reze, captains of a team that they built: The Blackout Ghouls. With their flagship car, Little Ghoul, they race through the dusty trails of their collapsed world, letting their love lead the way. If the world has fallen, has love vanished as well? Would ending this war, be the answer to find happiness? Has love perished because of the machines? Or did love perish, because humanity forsake it? *Author's note: A new part will be published on the 15th and 30th of every month.*
