"The Awakening of Varnok"

In the year 3049, the Earth was no longer governed by nations but by corporations and AI-run regimes. The world had grown colder, both in temperature and in spirit. Deep beneath the barren surface of what was once the Himalayan Mountains, lay a sleeping titan—an ancient experiment named Varnok.
Created centuries earlier in a secret lab to defend humanity from extinction-level threats, Varnok had been put into stasis when humanity turned on itself instead. His flesh was fused with nanostone, and his blood roared with dark matter energy. He was feared even by his creators, and so he was buried—forgotten.A rogue storm, supercharged by the collapse of the planet’s magnetic field, surged over the mountain's remains. Lightning struck the forgotten vault again and again—each bolt echoing across the dead landscape. And then, the earth cracked. Dust and rock exploded into the air. The mountain convulsed as something ancient moved. From the chaos rose Varnok, reborn in fury.
