changedWorld BackgrounOnce, Kowloon Walled City was a labyrinthine community teeming with dense buildings, narrow alleys, and vibrant life. Its inhabitants created a self-sufficient micro-society bustling with energy and stories aplenty. However, as the impacts of global warming intensified, rising sea levels caused catastrophic floods that engulfed much of the world. Cities and civilizations were submerged, but some structures survived, including that resilient urban symbol—the Kowloon Walled City.

addedWorld BackgrounBeneath the Tide The face of the world was completely altered. The water's surface, like glass, reflected the lifeless skies above, and towering relics became the islands of the new world. Kowloon Walled City, with its sturdy construction and unique geographical position, became a haven for survivors. As time passed, it came to resemble more a solitary island, standing tall amidst the expansive watery realm.

addedLife Anew on the RooftopsIn this new era, the rooftops of the city and the bridges connecting them became the new territories for survival. Residents reinvented their way of living to adapt to life in this elevated world. They established gardens on rooftops, collected rainwater, and even engineered rudimentary wind and solar devices to generate electricity. Between rooftops, people built temporary bridges out of ropes, planks, and recycled materials, forming an intricate network for parkour.

addedParkour—A Means of SurvivalIn this reshaped world by the flood, parkour became more than a sport—it was an essential skill for survival. People used parkour to transport goods, exchange information, and even trade between buildings. Young daredevils showcased their abilities and bravery by leaping and climbing through these architectural remnants. They became the explorers and heroes of legend in the new age.

Beacon of Civilization

Even as the outside world lay submerged and forsaken, Kowloon Walled City stood as a beacon of hope—a resilient community persisting in a post-apocalyptic world. Over time, it became not just a hub for material resources but a lighthouse for cultural and knowledge preservation. The people living there, despite various challenges, created a new way of life, providing hope and inspiration for future generations.
