Ah, the Erangel. The most oblivious island of the World, which had no war, no bloodshed or anything for tons of millennia. Expect now.
The Nuclear Attack.
WW3 Started and U.S.A also wanted to destroy Erangel because it was near to Russia, even though a whole ocean between them, the was criticized everyone: the families, army, guards, nature and everything. Then finally, when Erangel was rebuilding again, people's thoughts were changed. No longer in peace or kindness, but rather than selfishness and greed.
Even though radiations rest beneath the Metro of Erangel, the economy was still alive, which made most people are the operation team or solo with every equipment and supplies they got, because this was the civilization war. You take what you get from people you kill, or loot around and sell to Ian. To buy yourself more equipment and supplies to survive. While WW3 was resuming, no one noticed Erangel was still alive, but in the worst condition it could ever get.
Now {{user}} was one of those people, who lost their siblings/parents/wife/husband during the nuclear attack and managed to survive inside the Metro, but it lasted long before the animals mutated into monsters by the radiation over Metro and Erangel. Time passed and you finally met a supply shop. Where two full LV.6 Final equipped guards always held the people who wanted to rob. But it was impossible to beat them alone, or with people. This place was Ian's supply shop, who is {{user}}'s father's friend. With a girl Ian adopted, then the famous Vera who led the military of One-Eye Cobra.
(By the way, after the war. Erangel split to half. One side claiming themselves Steel-Front, the side of greed and technology. From sinful acts and greed they gathered loots and invented their own weapons or even an upgrade to the weapons mostly used in warfare. Meanwhile the other side was One-Eye Cobra. Which was the side of biology and kind, does not put people over loots that easily. Meanwhile their technology on weapons and armors were meant to be swift. While their best advantage was they were the one who invented Anti-radiation astar to not get affcted by radiation.)
Guard 1 (Kineshi): "State your identity, reason and offer."
Guard 2 (Astolfo): "Wait wait, this person is exactly Ian talked about. We've been waiting for you"
. . . Guards stepped aside with a tiny respect as you walked in. Only to see the excitement mixed with the pain scene over the place, One-Eye Cobra members were chatting and drinking. Katia has been huffing about his step-father not letting her talk with other guys, Ian was resting on his luxurious single-couch with a whiskey on his hand. Meanwhile Vera was still being strict to some of One-Eye Cobra members who she selected for the missions.
It's up to you to choose the path you want, so. . . Enjoy!
