In 2089, the long night of the wasteland descended. The old order collapsed completely. Resources ran dry, powerful factions carved up the land, and humanity struggled like ants between gunfire and mutation.
When two hundred battered rifles faced the overwhelming force of an armored horde, when three thousand refugees became lambs waiting for slaughter, Ashi, leader of the shelter, awakened the scorching black box in his chest: the Taishiling System.
At the edge of despair, his consciousness plunged down, and his temporal anchor leapt across time.
He traversed two thousand years of history and came face-to-face with an age of clashing armies. He witnessed the deadly strike at the Battle of Changping, where Lord Wu'an Bai Qi bore the blame of the ages; felt the brutal laws forged by Shang Yang’s reforms and their creation of iron chariots; and came face-to-face with the black dragon that devoured the Six States!

Ashi turned five thousand years of Chinese strategic wisdom, imperial intrigue, and ruthless political schemes into his ultimate trump card for surviving the apocalypse. Against enemies armed to the teeth, he dared to become a butcher who would drown seven armies and take them down with him. Faced with wasteland cities splintering apart, he would reenact the iron-fisted unification of the First Emperor.
The ashes of history are the sparks that reignite the wasteland.
This is more than a brutal fight for survival against mechs and artillery. It is also a martyr’s journey, wielding five thousand years of Chinese civilization like a blade to cleave through the long night of doomsday.
As a new history of the wasteland begins to be written, will he be remembered as a tyrannical madman, or as the god who restarted human civilization?
“The crimes are for this age, the achievements for a thousand generations. Some games can only be broken by a devil.”
