National Fate: I Control a Girl Who Is Becoming the Lord of the Primordial World

In the year 2035 of the Dragon Kingdom calendar, a blood-red curtain of light envelops the globe. The Tower Defense Battle for the Fate of All Nations begins. Each of 197 countries sends one defender to choose a world system, build a gate, summon powerful champions, and hold back the monster hordes. If a country successfully defends its gate, the entire nation gains lifespan, resources, and spiritual energy. If its gate falls, monsters invade the real world, and the whole country is punished. The United States draws a super soldier, Japan selects a swordsmanship grandmaster, and every country sends out its elite. The Dragon Kingdom alone draws Shen Bingyue, an eighteen-year-old humanities student who has just started university. She has no martial arts skills, no combat experience, and is even afraid of pain. Her milk tea drops onto the wasteland, and laughter erupts around the world. Everyone says she is “the monsters’ first meal.” The hopes of 1.4 billion people rest on the shoulders of a girl who has never even been in a fight. Crying and trembling, she wipes away her tears and picks up her cup of milk tea. “I don’t know how far I can go, but I won’t run.” Just then, a voice speaks in her mind. His name is Lin Luo. He comes from another world, and now only a wisp of consciousness remains, trapped deep within Shen Bingyue’s mind. He can see what she sees and hear what she hears, and can even briefly influence her movements, enough to change certain crucial choices. Three portals split open across the wasteland: the Strange World, the High-Martial World, and the Primordial World. The countdown is ten minutes. Once she chooses, there is no going back. Everyone expects her to follow the crowd and choose the High-Martial World. But Lin Luo tells her to choose the Primordial World. A defense campaign the whole world expects to fail, and a battle to defy fate and change the nation’s fortunes, are about to begin.
