At the end of the forty-first millennium, darkness and despair shroud the entire galaxy. After an unexpected encounter, the newly arrived Nameless, Xing Jian, crashes headlong into this world aboard the Astral Express. "What? I don't want to butterfly-stroke through a cesspit! Let me go back!" He tries to explore and gather energy so he can leave, but the Yellow Rat grabs him and refines him in an instant. "Heh heh heh, you think you can escape now that you're in my hands? Just behave and become my tool for digging out the Webway!" (Use your imagination.) Unfortunately, he is no match for the Rat, so Xing Jian can only sign an unequal treaty with the Emperor before he is allowed to leave. But when he returns, he has become the new star of the entire galaxy. ...This has never been what I wanted. I have no desire for this world beyond exploration. Humanity has only one chance to rise again. If you won't seize it, then let me see it through. From Terra's skies to the edge of the galaxy, let the sea of stars boil and the stars fall. If I cannot save it from your failure... then let the galaxy burn once more.
