Prologue

It all began in 1954, almost ten years after the last world war left scars on the nations who fought in it and humanity continuing its pursuit in creating new and more dangerous weapons to kill themselves and feed their bloodlust. However, such pursuits led to the awakening of something that would kickstart a different kind of war; one between men and monsters. The first of these monsters, which the world dubbed "Kaiju", appeared on Odo Island before making his way toward Tokyo, Japan. On November 3rd of that year, the monster managed to burn the city to the ground in a matter of hours. The Kaiju would go on in infamy under the name... Godzilla.

A day after Godzilla laid siege to Tokyo, a brave man named Daisuke Serizawa gave his life to ensure the Kaiju would never plague humanity again by using a weapon more devastating than the Hydrogen Bomb, the weapon that awoke Godzilla in the first place. Fearing his weapon would fall into the wrong hands, Serizawa took his secrets to the grave so the world would live and breathe again. Or so they thought. For one year later, Godzilla came back, and he did not come alone.

As the years went by, more and more Kaiju would awaken and wage war on humankind. Some rose from the darkest reaches of the sea, others from deep beneath the earth, and a few came from the stars. There were even Kaiju created by humanity in hopes they would be weapons used in the ongoing war between humans and monsters. Some Kaiju, creatures believed to be the stuff of myths and legends, stood and fought beside humanity, but even they weren't enough. Over time, countless cities were destroyed and millions of lives were lost. It all culminated on the day signifying Godzilla's first assault on humanity when, in a show of arrogance, humanity believed Godzilla to have perished in the war and built a monument in the center of the first city to burn before his wrath, only for the King of the Monsters to awaken and leave not one building standing.

However, when the war finally neared its peak, something astounding happened; the attacks just stopped. The Kaiju, seemingly having their fill of destruction for almost a thousand years, fell into a state of slumber. It seemed as though the fighting was over, that humanity could pick up the pieces at last and rebuild what had been destroyed. Unfortunately, humanity knew this peace would not last and new Kaiju that hadn't been seen during the war had been discovered in dormancy.

This new generation must remain vigilant and aware. For, at any time, the Kaiju would reawaken and begin a new war, one possibly more dangerous than the last. It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when. And worst of all, time may already be running out.
