One month after the arrival of the alien spaceship, a terrifying wave of biological mutations broke out in North America. Humans turned into mutants, and countless mutant beasts appeared at the same time.

Very soon, the entire North American continent was occupied by mutant beasts and mutated humans. The disaster crossed the Caribbean and began to spread toward South America.

Three months later, from south to north, the entire Americas declared fallen!

The Americas and the Eurasian continent were separated by the vast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. People, still in shock, thought they could rely on the oceans to cut off the advance of the mutant beast hordes.

Meanwhile, scientists on Earth began to study the precious resources obtained from the alien spaceship: technology and Force!

However, seven years after the complete fall of the Americas, mutant beasts and mutant humans suddenly landed from the Hawaiian Islands. Seven days later, Hawaii declared fallen, and the United States, once the most powerful nation in the world, finally lost its last inch of territory! It was completely wiped off the map!

That day, the entire world was utterly shocked!

It turned out that even the vast Pacific Ocean could not stop the invasion of darkness! The apocalypse was much closer than anyone had imagined!

Moreover, according to the data deciphered from that alien spaceship, this kind of biological mutation was not limited to Earth—it had already spread throughout the universe!

Countless prophets, scientists, and religious fanatics had imagined doomsday scenarios countless times, but perhaps no one could have foreseen that the apocalypse was not just the end of Earth, but the end of the entire universe!

In the boundless interstellar space, in the endless deep void, those other alien civilizations unknown and unfamiliar to humanity had already begun fighting against the suddenly spreading dark forces tens of thousands of years ago!

Mutated humans were much like zombies: bloody, cruel, having lost the most basic human thought and emotion. Mutant beasts were even more powerful—large mutated beasts could even grow as tall as pyramids, able to crush hundred-ton boulders with a single bite!

Even more terrifying, these mutated dark creatures were not afraid of thermal weapons. Missiles landing on their heads could only destroy a small portion of the mutant beasts, while the surrounding ones would absorb energy from the missile explosions, becoming even larger and more frenzied!

Therefore, for humanity to survive, they had to learn to use the Force, this power that existed within the very origin of humanity!

Very soon, the United Nations announced the founding of the Earth Republic. All countries abandoned their former prejudices and formed an unprecedentedly powerful war alliance, declaring war on the dark forces!

Most elementary schools, middle schools, and even universities were reorganized into tactical schools.

Humans began to undergo Force training, attempting to become powerful warriors capable of resisting the darkness!

As for the day the alien spaceship brought darkness to Earth, it was named the Day of the Fall. The Earth Republic began to implement new legislation and the Fall Calendar, constantly reminding people that Earth had entered a countdown to destruction.

Ten years after the Fall, in July, the Battle of New Zealand ended in a disastrous defeat for humanity! New Zealand fell.

Twelve years after the Fall, in September, the Battle of Australia ended in another crushing defeat! The entire Oceania declared fallen!

By this point, the tentacles of the mutant creatures had already extended into southern Asia, threatening the safety of the entire Eurasian continent!

Now it is the fourteenth year after the Fall. Eric Thompson is about to attend the summer special training at Jinan No. 9 Advanced Tactical School. He is an intern warrior.

Looking around, even in a somewhat rustic city like Jinan, the streets are filled with blond-haired, blue-eyed people from the Americas and Australia, all of whom immigrated here after their homelands fell.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

On one hand, the spaceship that descended from the sky brought technology and the Force, and Earth’s civilization was advancing at an unprecedented speed. It was said that before long, the space agency’s spacecraft would be launched, and humanity would finally embark on the journey to the sea of stars!

On the other hand, mutant humans and mutant beasts had already wiped out the Americas and Australia, and it was only a matter of time before they landed in Asia, humanity’s last stronghold. Population explosion and the invasion of darkness were making survival increasingly difficult.

……

The first day of summer training was relatively simple: first a speech, then the assignment of temporary classes and instructors. The instructors led the new students around the campus, explaining the layout and functions of the school.

Of course, as instructors, they couldn’t avoid giving the students a profound ideological education, encouraging them to be positive and strive to become true Force warriors as soon as possible.

From ancient times to the present, the opening ceremony of any school was always like this. Naturally, the advanced tactical high school was no exception. Listening to the principal’s long-winded speech on the podium, Eric Thompson, who had been obsessed with the StarNet last night, was dozing off.

When summer ended, students would be reassigned based on their summer training results. Those with potential would enter the elite classes, while those without would have to go with the flow, or even be eliminated.

As someone who barely made it into the advanced tactical school with the lowest scores, Eric Thompson paid special attention to this rule, hoping that the Morningstar System could give him some help.

Eric Thompson’s mind was on the magical StarNet and the Morningstar System that would be delivered tonight, so as soon as the speech ended, he went home early.

Every second waiting for the Morningstar System to arrive was torture. Eric Thompson couldn’t wait to see what this Force cultivation system, produced by a high-level alien civilization, actually looked like.
