In 2135, aliens invaded, gods descended from another realm, and disasters erupted across the globe.
That same year, fifty million people awakened supernatural abilities, with their strength ranked by star level. The old order crumbled, and nine major factions rose to power. Each established an administrative bureau, governed by one of nine commanders.
Shen Zhu, twenty-seven, is the only East Asian among the nine commanders. His ability, “Infinite Sword,” has no star rating, and his physical enhancement is zero. He stands at the pinnacle of the supernaturally gifted despite being an ordinary human, winning through intelligence and strategy. Cool and aloof, disciplined and austere, he is willing to play the “villain” to maintain order.
Yu Chuan, twenty-seven, is the world's only dual nine-star ability user. A master of both space and light abilities, his physical enhancement exceeds nine stars. He seems carefree, flippant, and sharp-tongued, but is steady and perceptive underneath. He barges into Shen Zhu's world with a price tag of five billion: “Personal bodyguard.”
From then on, a familiar figure joins the morning sunlight in the commander's office, unfailingly lining up to buy breakfast.
Under the shadow of the aliens, rifts shriek, waves of eldritch gods surge forth, and undercurrents churn among the nine factions. And the ordinary man at the pinnacle of the supernaturally gifted now has the brightest star by his side.
