Dark Star Sea: Awaken the Human Emperor System from the Start

In the year 763 of the Dark Era, the night sky over Linyuan Harbor went up in flames. The Star Ring Council's evacuation ships departed one after another, carrying away councilors, officers, and ledgers. They struck 110,000 soldiers and civilians from the roster, leaving them to face a wall of swarming bugs.

Chen Jin, a third-class garrison soldier of the lowest rank, was hauling ammunition crates. He was supposed to die with the city. As the jaws of a Hound-class bug clamped around his throat, a cold mechanical voice rang out in his mind:

Soul fragment restored. Bloodline match confirmed. Identity verified: Your Majesty.

Killing enemies earns Ashes. Saving people earns Ashes, too. With a thermal rifle, a suit of powered armor, a barracks, and an army, Chen Jin will reclaim the fallen empire of seven hundred years ago from the bugs' jaws.

No one knows who he really is. No harem, no summoned players. The System belongs to this world.

Beyond the city walls, the monster whose roar had plunged the entire harbor's power grid into darkness caught the scent of the name that had once brought the whole star sea to its knees.

The Council's roster crossed us off one by one.

Starting tonight, this harbor has no roster.

The Emperor's decree: Humanity must not be wiped out. Every life is worth saving. An apocalyptic military power struggle, with a System and troops raised to defend the city.
