Hellenic Demon fan fiction
Update (Jul 7 ‘25)
While editing this (a while ago now) and removing a reference to a certain company I no longer feel like even referencing, I found a lot of mistakes (mostly grammar) in the text. I don’t have the time to fix them, but know that I am aware of them.
This is not your classic blog entry. This is a compilation of mini stories authored in our private Discord server. It was pretty interesting (at least for us), thus I published it to the “extras” website. Because this website is replacing that, I’ve decided to publish this text here. Also, the last version was in light mode (ew).
The date of publishing reflects the compilation date (way before this website was created).

EAS scenario: The Hellenic Demon
This is an emergency broadcast by the UN security council.
Hellenic demon has been angered by an unknown person. As a result of this, the humanity is in danger of extinction.
Please stay at home and DO NOT leave unless you are moving to an underground shelter.
Please be alert and don’t panic. Please have your radio or TV ready to receive further broadcasts from us.
This televised message was endorsed by the UN and will be set to repeat.
The Hellenic Demon has been awoken and angered.
The society worldwide is dissolved and destroyed.
All governments have fallen.
The humanity is reaching its extinction.
If you are still surviving the apocalypse, please make sure to find a safe area underground, far from urban areas.
Do not approach other people, as they might be changed or be hostile, no matter how human they seem.
Do not draw attention to yourself. Do not use light-emitting items outside. Do not make any loud noises.
Locate any nearby gas stations and water sources. Do not scavenge in urban areas.
Do not use motorised vehicles.
Good luck.

This televised message is endorsed by the Disunited Nations and will be set to repeat.
The Hellenic Demon has been awoken and angered.
The society worldwide is dissolved and destroyed.
All governments have fallen.
The humanity is reaching its extinction.
If you are still surviving the apocalypse, please make sure to find a safe area on the ground, inside urban areas.
Always approach other people, as they are not changed or hostile, no matter how inhuman they seem.
Draw attention to yourself. Use light-emitting items outside. Make any loud noises.
Locate any nearby cities and water sources. Only scavenge in urban areas.
Make sure to use motorised vehicles.
Good luck.
Recording found in a gas station:
Approximately less than 20,000 people are thought to be alive. All major information routes have been destroyed. […] Most places have been scavenged out for food and other supplies. The nuclear power plants will be going to meltdown in the next 10 days as a result of no staffing. [screaming in pain][unidentified noise][recording end]
Year 2068.
Diary of a Greek survivor:
The Geiger counter is going insane. Athens is just a huge crater. No more history, no anything. We are feeling the effects of the nuclear winter already. […] Our supplies are limited, and in the coming weeks we will probably run out of them. Scavenging is too dangerous, as the radiation will cause immediate death. So these are probably the last days of humanity. It was great until we existed.
Found notebook of a researcher dedicated to The Hellenic Demon:
1ST PAGE:
To-do:
Clean your fucking room, don’t fall asleep like last time,
Go on a date with the receptionist (one day man, one day)
Tell [REDACTED] about the new finding
Anyway, not sure if this is still a diary thing per-se, but my last notebook filled up so i am using this one. I keep fucking filling them up with useless information. Anyway, so the usual, important information from previous notebook:
We managed to find Hellenic Demon’s favorite food. Lo and behold, it’s kebab. It goes absolutely nuts when he even smells it. The way we found out though was quite.. tragic. [REDACTED], one of our colleagues was eating such food near the Hellenic Demon, and well… It broke out of its chamber… Ripped his torso apart… ate the kebab and him… At this point we had a code red, we initiated all security protocols and luckily we managed to contain it again. Apart from that we also found out that it is unbelievably dumb because it started chasing its own tail(lmao). Let’s hope this doesn’t happen again.
2ND PAGE:
[REDACTED] today told me something interesting. Isn’t it weird how everything we perceive could be completely different to someone else, yet the words we use to refer to those things link to one’s and someone else’s perception? How do you know if the color you perceive as red, is the same red i perceive? The word red and the color red are both theoretically completely arbitrary to one another. It is impossible to explain what the color red looks like for you to someone else.
Anyway, i told [REDACTED] about the finding, he was as excited as i was. We went to get the equipment. I dont care if i get fired for this, i just want to do one last experiment to that crazy demon before i leave to Switzerland. Curiosity is getting the better of me.

Recording of an unknown entity floating in air:
[ANY DISTRIBUTION OF THIS MINI-DOC OUTSIDE OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED]
[REDACTED], the recording is 16 seconds long, silent the whole time. The camera man raises his camera up to the sky, pointing at an unkown humanoid entity afloat in thin air. Recorded on 2068, February 29th, 7:34pm.
[0-3 seconds into the recording]
While the camera is raised up, a semi-destroyed wooden house can be identified very near the camera man. The rest of the surroundings consist of tall trees.
[3-10 seconds into the recording]
The unknown entity in the recording is not moving, and has its head down the whole time. Very silent whimpers can be heard, although we don’t know if that’s the camera man, or the entity. The camera man is also heard swallowing pointedly, at which point it’s safe to assume that he is in deep fear and anguish.
[10-16 seconds into the recording]
The camera man starts getting really nervous, considering the fact that the camera starts to increasingly shake more and more. At which point — the entity still completely frozen in place — the camera man makes a small sharp gasp, only to start backpedaling from the entity. The camera goes down and a sharp camera movement is seen before the recording stops.
[Notes]
The strange entity is believed to be the Hellenic Demon. Though, the Hellenic Demon has never been observed to fly, and multiple other scp outbreaks might have also happened. Nothing is known about whether any other outbreaks have happened, however the extremely sudden amount of deaths reported are incredibly alarming and could be evidence of a much, much more disasterous situation than we thought.

[Heavy breathing] Uh… um so i think its about 7am right now… I don’t know how many days it’s been, but [sigh] it has been quite some time… L-look at that sunset Stella!
[Stella] Yeah, it’s cool, haha. But we need to find shelter, quick.
[Other Person] Oh right… right. [sounds of a person sobbing can be identified] Where is my family? Why is this happening to me?
[Stella] [sigh] I don’t know Peter, but please STOP asking me over and over. It’s annoying.
[Peter] [indistinct words] this bullshit! This Hellenic Demon is just a myth! It’s not real! The government is messing with us, It’s not REAL!
[Stella] Honey, please-
[Peter] THESE people deserve to ROT in HELL. They destroyed millions or possibly billions of lives, but… for what? FOR WHAT-
[Stella] HOW am I SUPPOSED to KNOW? YOU KEEP TELLING me the SAME SHIT OVER and OVER. Just PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME and LET’S GO FIND a SHELTER…
[Peter] Ok. Let’s go.
[Unidentifiable noise for approximately 7 minutes]
[Peter] What is that? Do you see that?
[Stella] Yeah let’s go check.
[Unidentifiable noise for approximately 4 minutes]

A discussion found in Canberra:
- Conscription, during A FUCKING APOCALYPSE?
- I guess so.
- Did you read 1984?
- I did when I was going to school before the apocalypse.
- GSPC is a LITERAL 1984! Those fuckers are sitting in Yukon commanding the whole world what to do and not do.
- I mean, you have to understand that it is the last chance for humanity, right? Also, we are in Australia, in less than a month the Demon will be here.
- Yes, but still, absolute no respect to human rights. I am not going to go to military.
- You don’t have to. You can hand out receivers, humanitarian support, etc.
- It is still my choice!
- Just think for a second: before GSPC the world was in mess, no information, no everything. Hospitals weren’t working, education stopped. They brought this stuff back, in bunker form of course. Also, if you refuse, you will go to jail anyway.
- Fine. I will sign up. You defeated my argument.

- Anyway, I think they started evacuations too late.
- They knew it was going to reach Sydney at some point.
- Yeah. Exactly. Why they couldn’t do it earlier?
- I don’t know. Maybe they thought it will change the direction randomly?

Somebody’s transcript:
August 4th, 6:20am, 2068. I woke up a little early today, I had a nightmare. I have one every so often.
I’ve been thinking, a lot… The lack of people, the lack of stimulation, the lack of anything… You know, this isolation, this weird feeling when you are saying possibly your last words, so detrimental… But, when I see the sunrise, and I see the collapsed buildings, everyday, destroyed beyond recognition, I see hope for the better end. For what may be new memories, new human history, new experiences… The Mind, is one, and is a piece of everyone. Although not perfect, it experiences, it thinks, it learns, as a whole. The Mind may be damaged, but it can recover. It is not a simple job, it is not an easy job, it might seem like an impossible job, but one thing to remember is… we will always win together.

+ {END REPORT}
A diary from wanted by GSPC person:
Holy shit. It’s 2069 already. I heard that the Demon is coming for North America. Well, fuck. I’ve been thinking more and more about what if you could, pet the Demon? I know that it is a crazy idea, but what if you could actually do that? I heard something about Demon liking kebabs. This is word of the mouth, so we need to take that with a grain of salt of course. Anyway, I am in the outskirts of Fairbanks. Long left Juneau, because 240 miles from Watson Lake is just too dangerous for me. Also, I finally ripped out location tracking shit in the GSPC receivers. That means, I can finally use one without fearing of the Protection Force arresting or even worse, killing me. A lot of Alaskans already left for Watson Lake. I don’t blame them for going, but I believe GSPC is doing this PR bullshit to have final days in 1984. GSPC creating a “molecule, that is antagonist for the Hellenic Substance”? Again, how they are so sure about its effectiveness on the Hellenic Demon itself. They made some tests, yes, but they did on ordinary humans. GSPC is just neglecting research of other survivors. Yet again, they are trying to push their sci-fi solution when much simpler solutions may exist. Also, slavery during a fucking apocalypse? They said, “Be conscripted or go to jail and create the molecule”, i will translate: be dead or be a slave. No other choices. Also, they promise to rebuild the old goverments. How can we be so sure? What if they don’t? Anyway. I will stop for now.
Found CCTV Footage of the GSPC, moments before disaster:
You run as quickly as you can to the security cameras.
Minute by minute, it’s getting hotter and hotter. You need to see what happened now.
The footage is found by you.
You rewind and play the footage at the moment the disaster was about to happen.
- Okay, Mike is the substance ready?
- Yes, all inside their containers.
- Release?
- 3, 2.. 1.
[You hear the loud noise of the lid opening, forcefully expelling the substance out in the air.]
- Okay, let’s hope this works.
[You skip over a few hours.]
- Sending signal to the west. Is anybody there?
- Harry, please keep looking for any outside threats.
- Sorry, my eye hurts. This telescope is stupid.
- No, I’m pretty sure you are.
- Hey guys, uh, I think the thermostat isn’t working.
- What do you mean?
- It’s just so hot in here. I’ll go check if Bryan is regulating the temperature.
- Alright.
- Guys we got a call, the signal worked.
- Nice, okay let’s keep this up everyone.
- Hello?
[You hear more chattering and skip over many minutes.]
[You start sweating a lot, a whole lot. There isn’t much time left.]
- NO. NO NO NO NO NO.
- EVERYONE EVACUATE THE BUILDING.
- WHY IS IT SO HOT?
- IT’S EVEN HOTTER OU-[inaudible from all the footsteps and loud noises]

Secret recording of GSPC’s executive meeting:
CEO: Make sure no one else listens to this conversation.
Vice: Sure, Chief.
CEO: Okay. So why we are here?
Vice: Something happened after the first planned substance release was initiated.
CEO: So what exactly happened?
Vice: The temperature around the site has been recorded to be over 60°C.
CEO: A fire?
Vice: Might be, Chief. There were bright lights recorded. Or the substance may be acting up.
CEO: Is it spreading to other buildings in the HQ?
Vice: Might be. I think we should evacuate to Upper Liard until the threat is stopped.
CEO: Sure. Also, do not say what happened to the HQ in the messages. Say that “we have experienced minor technical difficulties”. Any attempts to disclose real information, 10 years.
Vice: Okay, Chief. I will announce this.

A diary from wanted by GSPC person #2:
I think I should finally say my name. I am Rob K. Thomas. I am Alaskan. I am 24 years old. I was born and raised in Juneau. I moved to Seattle in my college years. After that, I moved to Anchorage and worked there until the visit to parents’ house just before apocalypse. I am wanted by the GSPC for ignoring the request of conscription and publishing articles against them.
So recently they released a message talking about minor technical difficulties. This is their try to cover up the truth. First of all, they say “threat is moving slowly”. Hell no, 5000 km in 17 days! Maybe 300 km per day doesn’t sound that fast, but remember, we are during an apocalypse. From the message alone we can say that something happened with the substance deployment, so bad that they had to evacuate at least some amount of people to a town 10 km west of Watson Lake. Yes. I am good at geography and owning maps haha. I even got a bachelor’s degree in it.
Also, I have recruited a relatively small team of survivors and partisans, who will verify their information, try to sabotage the upper positions of GSPC, and find other ways of defeating the Hellenic Demon.
Continuation of Rob’s diary:
My friend, John, is actively trying to crack the message protocol for GSPC. His progress has been substantial. The GSPC’s message is comprised of 3 blocks:
- Hidden envelope;
- Public metadata;
- Public report.
The latter 2 are visible to public, and are seen when viewing .txt files from connected receiver via USB. The 1st one, however, is much more interesting. It contains the following data:
- The firmware update (if available);
- Nano-Map data (very small chunks of world map data);
- The GSPC metadata & report hash;
- GSPC issued signature;
- Message direction (inbound, outbound, pass-thru or broadcast).
It seems that location reporting uses outbound message direction, and is using GSPC-issued signature. However, this system is not crack-proof. It may be possible to broadcast self-signed messages as if they are from GSPC (you need GSPC HQ’s signature to be able to broadcast the message). That would allow spread of real information, not susceptible to GSPC’s propaganda.

+ {BEGIN REPORT}
+ {1.} The GSPC's security is shit. We are here to spread the information GSPC tried to keep from others.
+ {2.} First of all, GSPC hid information about alleged effects of substance to the world's climate. They are devastating. Over 60°C have been recorded in Watson Lake {NANO-MAP-ID-FAIL}. Because of that, last message was in GSPC Observation Unit {NANO-MAP-ID-FAIL}. People have been evacuated as per CEO's request.

Another secret recording recorded by the partisans:
CEO: Check the room for recorders before we can talk.
[Searching for 2 minutes]
Vice: Nowhere to be found, Chief.
CEO: If this recording will be published, I will fucking beat you up. We got hacked. And the private conversation leaked. And it’s your fault. [Grabs the shirt] Your fucking fault. [Releases] Anyway, how did they do this?
Vice: They have probably reverse engineered the protocol we use to transmit messages.
CEO: And, how could they do that?
Vice: They probably used the pass-thru feature to relay the message to other nodes. This mechanism is used to decentrally send messages around. The question is, how could they sign the messages with our keys?
CEO: Make a firmware update or I don’t know how they call it, patching this issue.
Vice: This might not be as simple; it may require reworking of the architecture.
CEO: Anyway, while they are working on the fix, announce the world that this was a hack and all of this is fake information. Again, true info - 10 years. And for the hackers and sabotagers, stealing intellectual property, terminate them. No ifs and buts.
Vice: Okay Chief. I am going to announce this to appropriate departments.

[OLD TORN APART PAGE, PIECED BACK TOGETHER]
Shit SHIT SHIT! I FUCKED EVERYTHING UP. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. I don’t know what happened… We went in the room, we talked to it, but then… It got angry, REALLY angry. [REDACTED] told it something, which made it mad, but I couldn’t understand what he said. He knows Greek, I don’t. Either way, it told us a lot of stuff about itself. We also gave it some kebab, which it greatly appreciated.
It told us that it is a fallen angel. [REDACTED] told me it said something like this: “God is dead, I killed him. That was the by-product of what he did to me, wrongfully destroyed my body, to be left out as a demon. My body was reignited after the killing. I stole what God stole from me…” He also told me that after saying that it does look like a demon, it said this: “I like to manifest in a different form though. The way you see me isn’t what I am, but what I want you to see me as.”
Hmm.
[DIFFERENT PAGE]
I’ve realized a lot throughout this investigation. The GSPC is pretty dumb. Not only did they try and merge a team of unfairly treated members supposedly protecting people from threats 24/7, but then later tried to cover up a huge catastrophe that happened in the GSPC HQ, after their substance failed. I’m left with these idiots miserably trying to regenerate humanity, with the new government being them. I’m leaving this place. I already have all the information I wanted from them. I also found an exploit regarding the message protocol, I’m telling [REDACTED] today to investigate.
Also..
Is it just me, or is it getting really hot outside?

+ {1.} Hello. The GSPC Partisans here. We have collected even more data about GSPC's behaviour. First of all, another executive recording will be released: {ATTACHMENT-SOUND.3GP}.
+ {2.} The independent scientists have calculated the biggest ecological disaster, even bigger than the ozone hole in 20th century. It is more than 10°C global warming and extreme destruction of the ozone layer. It is not advised to be outside to decrease risk of skin cancer.
+ {3.} The culprit of this devastation is the "anti-substance". Also, we have gotten hold of it. Its effectiveness is questionable at most.
+ {4.} The most effective lure for the Demon is kebab. No other substance or food is known to be as effective.

Recorded assasination of the CEO:
CEO: Motherfuckers! This information is trade secret! What level of security is this! Even monkeys would make a more secure system!
Vice: Chill down, Chief.
CEO: I WON’T.
[slaps the face]
Vice: So what do we do, Chief?
CEO: For now, more substance and more military. No more pacifist stuff. Either you fight or you work hard labour in the prison. No other exceptions.
Vice: This sounds like 1984, doesn’t it?
CEO: Don’t you dare mention THAT BOOK. It is banned. If you read, you get terminated. [vice loads the pistol] What the fuck are you doing?
Vice: I am sick of your policy.
[CEO loads the pistol as well]
CEO: Go ahead. Press the trigger.
[CTO comes in]
CTO: What the hell are y’all doing?
CEO: Discussing some matters.
Vice: Yeah.
CTO: Those matters must be heated up.
Vice: Of course.
CEO: I was mad at those hackers a little bit.
[CTO loads the pistol]
CTO: Fuck you, Bryan. You laid off so many people because of that stupid hack. And I think we were hiding too much from the public for too long.
CEO: Look, I was trying to improve the team to fix that stupid bug ASAP.
CTO: Also, you knew about kebabs, right?
CEO: Of course. I hid that because I wouldn’t benefit from that research.
Vice: I wanted to live this life in a democracy, but now we live in a fucking dictatorship.
CEO: Dictatorship? Nah. Just a little bit of oligarchy here and there.
CTO: You are completely wrong. You have brought slavery to a 21st century. You should be ashamed.
CEO: Am I wrong? No. I never said it’s slavery. Just imprisonment with labour.
Vice: AKA slavery. Fuck you. Go to hell and NEVER RETURN. [shoots the CEO]
[CEO screams from pain, shoots vice’s leg]
Vice: Ahhhhhh, my leg hurts. But this is fixable. We no longer have this motherfucker in position anymore.

A public announcement from the new CEO:
Hello, GSPC prisoners!
Today I am glad to announce that some of you be released to freedom. Particularly those, that have been charged from opposition to the GSPC and those that ignored conscription. The release will happen today.
Hello, survivors!
The substance release has been suspended due to its impending effects on the world’s climate. The GSPC chefs are instructed to produce as many kebabs as possible. The kebabs are most effective lure for the Demon.
GSPC partisans will not be charged as they helped us crush a 1984-like totalitarianism that was caused by the old CEO.
Funeral has been already done privately.

A notebook of some survivor living in the HQ:
Since the Demon was detected on North American soil, the alarms have been constantly buzzing, ringing and trying to get the attention.
Evacuation to Tuktoyaktuk, the northernmost place in Canada accessible by road, was initiated. Flights have been scheduled already. In the coming days the evacuation will be completed.
The economy here is gone. Everything is inflated, GSPC token lost its worth. To buy a loaf of bread, you need 50,000 GSPC tokens.
Since the CEO change, executive is unable to make resolutions on how to provide humanitarian aid, deploy GPSC PF. The current time is looking bleak.
I don’t have high hopes for the humanity anymore. We weren’t so close to the end in the past 100,000 years than we are right now. Fuck the person who angered the Demon. Fuck them.
Rob’s diary:
Long time since I touched the diary. Anyway, a lot of shit happened. First of all, the Demon is on the American soil. In the coming days it’ll reach Watson Lake.
Secondly, CEO got shot by Vice. We’ve acquired the recording, and as we see, even the executive was unhappy on his policy. However, the new executive is no better. They amnestied all of us, and prisoners, but they are making changes too slow. Evacuation to Tutktoyaktuk? Good luck driving all of the population 2000 km or flying 1000 km through mountains. I am still surprised on security of GSPC systems. We have successfully sent 2 hacked messages and everyone got it.
We ourselves are moving from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. Not for oil, but for safety. We will see how GSPC is going to deal with global warming caused by the substance or the Demon itself. Time to hit the road.
The last days of humanity. People are starting to visit families, saying goodbyes to each other, as the doom is awaiting them. GSPC Pacific Protection Force has failed to block off the Demon from the mountains. It is on the way to cause havoc in Watson Lake.

Translated and auto-scripted recording of an external unidentified source:
- They’re dying.
- Finally. They survived longer than what we expected.
- Well, you know how they are. Humans. Always trying to survive, even when it doesnt make sense to.
- Do you see the demon anywhere?
- Yes. It appears calm and stationary. Seems like it is missing one of its back horns.
- Probably sacrificed it to one of its worshippers.
- Yeah.
- …
- These humans are so dumb-
- I was just about to say that.
- Totally.
- Right?
- Hm… So stupid how they start their own demise for no apparent reason.
- Yeah they can be smart but at the same time they can make really bad decisions…
- So uh, what do we do about the thing?
- What thing?
- The demon.
- Oh, come on now. You already know what we’re gonna do.
- Oh, oh i do.
- …
- …
- We not gonna kill it by the way-
- What? Why?
- That would be an awful and dangerous idea- Why are you conidering this?
- You know what… You’re right.
- Of course I am.
- … Well now you made me mad.
- I don’t care.
- Shut up.
- Shuh uup!
- No you shut up.
- No you shuh up!
- STOP IT.
- STAPH IT!
- Okay well I’m ejecting, bye.
- Alright then. Some time alone finally. Let’s see what this demon is doing. Hm… It is staying still. Wow. Hm…
[…]
Oop! It’s, finally, moving… Okay. Hm. Huh. Underwater? Why… Oh! Well, I guess we won’t have to deal with it anymore. Poseidon already did, heheheheh.
Flight recorder found in… ERROR:
- Finally, we’re going to safety.
- I am stoked too. GSPC HQ is already gone.
- Yeah… The Hellenic Demon is unstoppable.
- We’ve learned that the hard way. Wish SCP still existed.
- Yeah. So what you gonna do in the Tuktoyaktuk?
- Go everyday near the Arctic Ocean coast. Gonna watch it everyday…
[Alert Siren]
- What the fuck?
[Announcement]: Unusual turbulence detected. Please fasten your seatbelts. The Plane’s AI is doing counter-turbulence maneuvers.
- For fuck sake, this shit again.
- Stop panicking. GSPC are experts at this.
- How so when the executive are slaying each other?
- Well… Not the executive.
[UNIDENTIFIED]: Εσείς είστε οι επόμενοι. (You are next)
- What did I just hear?
- Probably auditory hallucinations. Wait. I heard that too. Passengers, did y’all hear that?
- Yea.
- Yup.
- What language was this in?
- Sounds like Greek to me.
- Sounds suspicious. We have some Greeks in the plane, but the voice…
- It sounds somehow corrupted.
- Yes it does. Anyone who knows Greek, can you translate this?
- I can. It said “you are…“. The last portion of the sentence is so muffled.
- You are… You are… Maybe “You are next” or something?
- Maybe.
- Wait. Is this the Hellenic Demon?
- Oh no.
[HELLENIC DEMON]: Γειά σου, Μαριά. Είμαι ο Έλληνας Δαίμονας. (Hello, Maria. I am the Hellenic Demon.)
- What? How do you know my name?
[HELLENIC DEMON]: Θα είμαι πολύ γεμάτος σήμερα. (I will be very full today.)
[PLANE - DIPPING DOWN TO GROUND]
[EVERYONE]: [SCREAMING]
- Plane is crashing. Goodbye cruel world. I had enough.
[PLANE CRASHED][BONE CRUSH SOUNDS][EATING SOUNDS]
[HELLENIC DEMON]: Τώρα είμαι ικανοποιημένος. (I am satisfied now.)
[END OF RECORDING]
Since the plane crash only 200 km from Tuktoyaktuk, all the humanity was destroyed. Over 100,000 years of existence and over 2,000 of ruling the world, it has fallen. Because of the Substance, the Earth is still warming up due to its climate warming and ozone destruction potential, much greater than CFC. The ozone layer is gone. The Earth is gone as we know it. Some humans survived, particularly those, who either managed to make a connection with the Hellenic Demon (most likely by using kebabs), or those that colonised to Mars by NASA. However, that population is negligible, having less than 150 people, as the program stopped following the events related to the Hellenic Demon.
The End.
