Status: old story I started a long time ago, decided that it was finally time to continue

The King of Mars

In the year 2077, Earth was set on fire. There was no great war, no global conflict. As if God hit the reset button, one day nuclear warheads just fell from the sky like genocidal hailstones and the world burned. Metropolises across the world were vaporized in moments, along with billions upon billions of lives. But still, time creeps on and the human race endures even after the end. In the year 2077, Earth was reborn.

It is now the year 2097. This is the story of three men:
The Bringer of Rain
The Child of War
And the King of Mars
