Twenty thousand years ago, the Milky Way's largest star, Stephenson 2-18, went supernova. Its core collapsed into a gigantic black hole.
The intense gamma rays produced by the supernova took twenty thousand years to reach us and weaken, but their deadly radiation still brought humanity to the brink of destruction.
All electronic devices were damaged. Plants and animals mutated, and humans gained powers that weren't their own.
Chen Yan, a newcomer reporting for his first day at the Urban Management Brigade, had no choice but to face the trials fate had in store for him.
The Tai Chi intent he had gained as a child became his most powerful ability.
He battled mutated cats and dogs, wiped out swarms of mutated rats, and fought the mutated Ant King.
He led survivors across thousands of miles to rebuild their homes.
He slaughtered the scum among humanity and exterminated every evil beast under heaven!
