Synopsis

In 2037, an attack by a planet-destroying weapon caused Antarctica's ice and snow to melt rapidly. Within months, global sea levels surged by 60 meters, triggering another worldwide flood and completely reshaping the planet's geography. Every once-prosperous coastal city was submerged. The United States split into East America and West America, the Mississippi River became a massive strait, and the low-lying coasts of the Netherlands, Florida, and California disappeared. Coastal cities such as Sydney and Melbourne were inundated; cities like Tokyo and Canberra vanished; the Ganges Delta was swallowed, the Nile became a strait, and the lands west of the Ural Mountains turned into swamps. Humanity faced an unprecedented crisis. Borders became meaningless before the rising waters, fertile coastal farmland was submerged, food shortages became the foremost problem, countless industrial facilities were destroyed, and the global economy suffered a devastating blow. High-altitude regions and organizations gained a relative advantage. Most of the Dragon Kingdom's industrial facilities were preserved, while bases under the Chukotka Republic continued operating through the flood, providing support for survival and development in these chaotic times. Then global temperatures rose sharply, bringing drastic shifts in climate patterns. The climate and soil of the Far East became suitable for farming. As the permafrost in the Arctic and Antarctic thawed, the land there promised opportunities for large-scale agriculture and livestock farming. The global political landscape was reshuffled, and powerful forces such as the Chukotka Republic and the Lunar Far East Group began to emerge. With its ice sheets melted, Antarctica revealed a new face and became the focus of a struggle between competing powers. The Lunar Group was the first to propose a plan to develop the Moon. Its vast expanse, strategic value, and abundant resources offered hope for humanity's future. As Earth embarked on reconstruction and lunar development, it reached a new turning point, and humanity entered a new era filled with the unknown and challenges.
