“System-wide announcement: The only player with the Sentinel class has died. The coordinates of the homeworld are permanently lost. Final completion: 99%. Coordinates of the final anchor point have been released.”

Countless people chosen by the Astral System and brought to the Astral Realm as players stared in a daze at the message.

At first, they had been excited to arrive in the Astral Realm. They completed System missions, grew stronger, and enjoyed the power they gained.

Then, five years ago, an announcement from the System told them that their homeworld, Blue Star, had been invaded by aliens. Thinking of their families, partners, and friends, they began fighting to get home. The player with the Sentinel class was their only hope. Her mission was called “Return Home,” and millions of players began fighting to complete it. But the mission proved far more difficult than anyone had imagined.

Li Yang was a hardcore fan of the Stellaris game and ranked first among Astral System players. While he and a group of comrades were working together to resist an interstellar fleet, he received the news that the Sentinel had died.

“I told you, heretics have no right to exist,” Li Yang said calmly. “My fellow citizens! Let the galaxy burn!”
