(This is a modern urban martial arts story. Any tags about the apocalypse or survival are bugs in the System.)
Fifty years ago, before the orange-red sun rose at dawn, a meteor streaked across the night sky, splitting the heavens in two before plunging straight into the Arctic ice sheet and shattering it into pieces.
The shattered Arctic ice seemed like an omen. The meteorite released some kind of creature, which we call aberrant beasts. Most of them are extremely hostile toward humans. At the sight of people, they attack and slaughter them, wreaking immense destruction on human society.
As the ice melted, natural disasters swept across countries all over the world.
In an instant, despair engulfed the entire world.
Some said, “The gods are finally punishing humanity for abusing the world’s resources and wantonly destroying nature.”
Others said, “Actually, these aberrant beasts were created by humans. They were in a laboratory beneath the Arctic ice, and when the ice shattered, they were released.”
Still others said, “These aberrant beasts are weapons created by a higher civilization to wipe out civilizations that pose a threat to them.”
In response to the aberrant beasts’ wanton destruction, a group of people stepped forward.
They built a wall with their own bodies, standing between despair and hope, dividing the world into black and white.
We call these people Beast Tamers.
When the purge begins, all despair will be reduced to dust!
