Afterburn is set in a gripping postapocalyptic future where a colossal solar flare has devastated Earth's Eastern Hemisphere. The catastrophic event not only obliterated entire civilizations but also left the environment dangerously altered, resulting in mutated life forms due to intense radiation and widespread fallout. The remnants of humanity struggle to survive in this hostile, transformed world, where danger lurks around every corner.
Amid this chaos, the story follows a daring band of treasure hunters who embark on perilous missions to retrieve priceless artifacts from the old world. Their quests lead them to seek legendary treasures such as the Mona Lisa, the Rosetta Stone, and the Crown Jewels—symbols of a vanished era of culture and history. These relics hold immense value, both materially and as links to humanity's lost past, making the hunters' tasks both vital and highly risky.
However, the treasure seekers face formidable challenges beyond the mutated creatures that roam the wastelands. Rival hunters relentlessly compete for the same precious items, while ruthless pirates threaten them with violence and betrayal. The series weaves a thrilling narrative of adventure and survival, exploring themes of loyalty, courage, and the enduring human spirit in a shattered world.
