《No Second Chances: The Beginning Of The End》Chapter 3 - Introduction 2/2: Order And Chaos.
Advertisement
The world in its prehistoric state was a hard place to live in for Human beings. We were still the most numerous race but the limitation of resources made harder the development of buildings and technology. Somehow we managed to make deals with the other races and the world divided into kingdoms because of their new rulers, The Gods, who descended to put a temporary stop to the imminent extinction of humans.
The half-breeds became an independent sub-race growing in number every day. Dwarves normally associated with humans making deals for resources. Elves built their own society, one more connected to nature; naturally they were wiser than humans. The Gods were attracted to science and human development so they let us do more research.
The new fauna had a prehistoric form, preserving their predecessor's behavior but obviously stronger and wilder. The offspring of Half-breeds were stronger, at least enough to hunt. Also, a low sub-class of the dragons appeared, they resembled wyverns as in the mythology; they are resistant but not as strong as a fourth part of the dragons' power.
There was an order, and the gods made sure to keep a class-divided society, a kind of improved capitalism, but leaving all the rights about owning everything for them. Everyone had to work to survive, there was poverty, yes, but the ones who had nothing were because they didn't work enough to earn it.
The buildings were becoming medieval-like because of the lack of resources for human beings but the technology was advancing, improving the lifestyle for those who could afford it.
The Elves' society didn't want to contaminate the world so they made nature-friendly buildings, however, they still had human technology because of the deals made with us.
When order was restored, the world would continue its normal course again.

A new era has begun.
But...
There's a special thing about humans: we are naturally stupid, that's our essence. Our history is full of situations where we impose our own problems and limitations, we are our own doom. It doesn't matter how much capacity of progress we develop, humanity will always have to fight its own greed and stupidity.
Chaos is natural, no matter how perfect everything would look in society's eyes, there will always be Chaos to be balanced by Order.
And so, as human nature dictates, there were some who didn't stand the current society as it was. These people were the ones who released TDW-A01 once again, but the disease mutated. This created the known "undead", but it has several stages, there were lepers, savages, ghouls, and demon-like ones.
This time, society was prepared, but the disease spread quite faster than before, this time affecting elves and dwarves as well. Then it happened, the Gods called for the most prepared living warriors and soldiers, these were called Heroes, they were armed with magic enhanced weapons, specially forged by Dwarves and Elves.
The half-breeds were stronger, yes, but most of them lose their battle instincts and only a few of them were determined to hunt.
The Gods were criticized by many people because of not creating new Prophets and sending "average" humans, half-breeds, elves, and dwarves to fight The Devil's whisper.
Then the Heroes appeared. Not a new race, but some members of the already existing races who exceeded their own limitations to a point of being exceptional warriors. Some humans learned magic and how to enhance man-made weapons with it, giving a huge step on their militia. There were also studies that determined some minerals are excellent catalysts for energy and magic, but when used together with complex weapons such as guns, drones, or machines they would lose their properties, so then the long-forgotten weapons made by the medieval humans would come back only to seize the power of the precious stones.

After many years of dealing with this new world, a new guild-like system was implemented for those who would be dedicated to exploring. This attracted the attention of many warriors, travelers, adventures, and most importantly Heroes. It consisted of gathering requests of many members of the society with rewards.
This didn't solve all the problems but it helped most of the people's concerns, obviously helping with the happiness which solved one of the rulers' problems.
