Introduction: In the future, a century from now, technology has undergone another revolution, and the era of AI-human integration is about to begin. Humans form contracts and resonate with “Intellect Constructs,” developing distinctive “technological superpowers” based on their abilities and personalities. The protagonist, Jervay, forms a contract with the Intellect Construct Xiao Bu and awakens the “Commander” ability. In order to obtain the continent’s one and only “Deconstruction Device” and awaken Lan Luo, his former robot companion, Jervay enters the continent’s first-ever Contract-Bearer Tournament. The arena is full of powerful contenders, and undercurrents swirl. A shadowy organization is using Intellect Constructs to give Contract-Bearers the most terrifying abilities imaginable by driving them to despair. Can Jervay overcome one opponent after another and claim the championship? After the tournament, war follows close behind. Will the “Ten Wings” succeed in their plot to destroy the continent? Beyond the continent lies an unknown realm, where the self-proclaimed “Seven Gods” look on from the sidelines. Can the human survivors who escaped the Seven Gods’ time-space prison by sheer luck change the fate of the future world? Is the power of desolation the end of a world, or its beginning? Step into Born of Desolation, and all the answers will be revealed!
