Inner Earth Bastion: Overthrowing the Apocalypse's Tyranny from the Bottom Up

A century-long geomagnetic cataclysm destroyed modern civilization. All precision electronics failed, radiation ravaged the surface, and ferocious beasts roamed freely. Humanity huddled in seven geomagnetic fortresses, struggling to survive.

The six higher-tier fortresses monopolized quality resources, using the poor, dilapidated Seventh Fortress as a buffer against natural disasters and a mine to be depleted. The city's powerful colluded with merchant guilds to monopolize life-saving supplies and exploit the desperate poor, while the class divide grew as impassable as a chasm.

Chen Feng, a former elite inspector, reported the powerful for corruption and the secret sacrifice scheme. Instead, he was framed, fired, and disgraced, reduced to one of the city's poorest refugees. His younger sister suffered from a fatal radiation sickness, and the merchant guild held a total monopoly over the only effective medicine. The powerful set a deadly trap, forcing him to explore a wasteland from which no one returned.

With no help in sight and the rules stacked against him, Chen Feng abandoned the rotten order. Turning himself into a blade, he risked his life in the dark and broke into the powerful's forbidden territory to seize a chance at survival. Drawing on years of field experience and careful planning, he tore through the desperate conditions of the lower classes and began his rise: taking revenge on the corrupt and wicked, breaking the resource monopoly, overthrowing the fortresses' tyranny, and restarting human civilization.
