Monsters Invade, and I Am Chosen by the Light to Become a Giant

A story-driven work, not a power fantasy or a formulaic tale, and not fan fiction.

Ming Jin and Bai Zhi, his childhood friend and secret crush, are visiting a space museum when a rift in space opens and giant monsters invade once again. As disaster strikes, Bai Zhi is trapped beneath a massive boulder, while the people in the city face annihilation. Desperate to save them, Ming Jin is chosen by a mysterious power at this critical moment. With a heart set on protecting others, he successfully transforms into the world's second Giant of Yu, defeats the monster, and rescues his childhood friend, Bai Zhi.

From then on, Ming Jin's everyday life and his identity as the heroic Giant of Yu begin to intertwine. Knowing he can protect others gives him a growing sense of confidence. He draws closer to the girl he loves and makes more friends. His desire to protect the world also helps him discover more of its beauty, and his once ordinary, monotonous life gradually becomes rich and colorful.

What he does not know is that a vast conspiracy lies behind the mysterious power. Where did the rifts in space, the monsters, and the power of the giants come from? Why did the first Giant of Yu, who appeared seven years ago, choose to betray humanity? As the currents of fate converge, Ming Jin, once an ordinary college student, does his best to hold on to the life he longs for, only to be slowly dragged into an endless abyss by an irresistible, invisible hand.

(Note: This is a story-driven work, not a power fantasy. The protagonist knows very little at the start, and the early chapters focus mainly on developing him, including some emotional reflections. He is the central figure of the main plot, but early on, the story is driven mainly by several key figures in the Alliance Defense Bureau. The male lead gets drawn into events in the middle of the story.)
