The 2017 Sacrifice

Story
On July 2nd, 2017, Ookook approached Earth. The Demon required a sacrifice of great importance to keep them at bay. After great deliberation, the people of Earth decided to give up half of their peoples' souls at random. This sacrifice pleased Ookook, but left nearly 3.2 billion people without souls. These people were referred to as Soulless. The remaining Soulful people on Earth began discrimination against the Soulless, resulting in the 0/5 Compromise. The Soulless were no longer counted as people.

Later
After the Great Kodak War of 2020, people began debating the validity of the 0/5 Compromise. Because of the Soulless' great contribution in the war, they had earned their right to be classified as human again. In 2023, the Soulless Discrimination Act was finally passed, preventing inferior treatment of Soulless people. This led to Kanye West becoming the first Soulless World President in 2024.
