***In the Age of Decay
Marking the Dawn of Darkness
The Dragon will arise...
His evil will become an addiction
In the souls of mankind
And death will be a blessing
To those he has touched.

Many will fear him
Many will fall before him
One will sacrifice all to destroy him.

In the Age of Decay...***

The year is 2053, and the Age of Decay has begun in the city of Los Angeles. The air is thick with pollution, the streets are teeming with the sick and starving. Crime is at an all time high, and drug abuse runs rampant.

The Dragon will arise...

The world is ripe for one who has waited centuries to reclaim Heaven and Earth. He is known by many names, and many have told of his coming. He is the beast, the Dragon, and he has come back to restore chaos to the universe and rule once more.

One will sacrifice all...

So it is written, and William 'Blade' Hunter, Private Investigator is the only man for the job. His violent techniques and brash disregard for regulations got him an early retirement from the Los Angeles Police Department, but now they'll become the fulfillment of the prophecy - the fall of the Dragon.

As 'Blade,' you must conduct the most desperate investigation of your life. In five days, cover the entire city, challenge everyone - and trust no one.
