Serious blurb:
In the year 2333 of the Xia calendar, our battered little planet faced an unprecedented crisis: resources were running out, and natural disasters were relentless.
Thousands of miles of barren land. The balance between polar day and night collapsed. Solar storms swept across the globe like scythes, stripping away the atmosphere.
Just as the entire planet was about to descend into eternal night, humanity's desperate cries to the universe finally received an answer: the Mysterious Sea had arrived!
[Ding!]
[Level One Civilization ember detected. Heritage integrity: 71%.]
[Civilization Trial initiated: Chosen Ones may be selected to enter the Mysterious Sea Trial and salvage a tomorrow of their own!]
[Come on!]
[Join this trial, where civilization is at stake!]
[Go beyond your home planet and civilization, and set out for the Mysterious Sea of the universe!]
Irreverent blurb:
Xia Tian was an orphan abandoned by his parents. In this absurd, apocalyptic world where everyone was in danger, he was raised by an orphanage.
On his sixteenth birthday, as an "adult" now legally allowed to live independently, Xia Tian was about to be kicked out of the orphanage. But then, against all odds, the Mysterious Sea arrived.
The "lucky" Xia Tian was chosen as a trial participant and forced onto a completely different path in life.
Faced with the Civilization Trial, Xia Tian said no. He just wanted to get through this shitty life in peace. Let someone else deal with the trial!
But Xia Tian was quickly informed that once selected, a trial participant couldn't be replaced unless they died. And if the trial failed, our battered little planet would be destroyed along with them!
Xia Tian: I'm still young. I don't want to die. I think I can do this!
To survive, Xia Tian had no choice but to choose a talent.
A flash of golden light, and Xia Tian drew an S-rank talent: [Saint]
Xia Tian: ???
Is it the kind of saint I'm thinking of?
You want me to be a saint in this incredibly dangerous trial, where I could lose my life at any moment???!!!
Damn it! Where are my doubled resources? My unlimited mana and attack power? My infinite inventory?
I want to go back to our battered little planet!
Xia Tian: "I want to draw again! Give me a cheat! Give me a golden finger!"
System: [This System strictly prohibits cheats.]
And so Xia Tian, pushed into the deep end, brought his talent and the other trial participants to a vast, boundless ocean, where the Civilization Trial began!
Premise: Earth is humanity's only home
