Le You grew up in an orphanage. On the day she received her university acceptance letter, a meteor shower struck, and in the blink of an eye she was transported to a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself in a desolate, bizarre garbage dump with giant cockroaches. Just as her life was about to end, an arrow pierced the cockroach chasing her, but the archer didn't even show their face.

Le You had no way to repay them, so she decided not to.

Only after escaping the contaminated zone did she realize this was more than just a post-apocalyptic wasteland. More accurately, it was the Wasteland Era. Contaminated-zone dungeons, markets in the ruins, the Human Survivor Alliance, and all sorts of official organizations made one thing clear: this world held not only destruction, but also prosperity and order.

After awakening an unknown talent, contaminated zones of all kinds seemed to sniff her out. She couldn't escape them, no matter what: the Thorn Manor, where survival depended on wits and deception; the Snow Country train that never stopped; the terrifying school where anyone who failed an exam was turned into a doll...

One bizarre, uncanny contaminated zone after another latched onto her.

As she explored, Le You discovered that prosperity was only a facade, and order was fake, too. Destruction was the only thing happening at every moment. The contaminated zones were just a smokescreen. This world was one enormous lie.

A professor had left a message: Humanity is doomed. The world will eventually return to zero.

Later, she heard from a vengeful spirit: A ruthless girl will rule the entire age, and humanity is about to be reborn!

At those words, the other four turned to look at her. Le You pointed to herself. "Do you believe him, or do you believe that I'm the Alliance Commander?"

The four said nothing. Le You puffed out her cheeks, slit the vengeful spirit's throat, and spread her hands. "I told you, spreading rumors can get you killed. See? Now he's dead."

In Wasteland Era Year 605, five names were engraved on the Human Survivor Alliance's historical monument. They were: ***

Reader's guide:

1. If you don't like the dungeon storylines, you can start with Volume Two.

2. The whole book has around ten dungeons.

3. Starting with Volume Four (the school arc), the story outside the dungeons will get more focus.

4. There is no overpowered golden finger. At first, human talents are only used for support; they won't become the main focus until later.

5. The male lead is just a supporting character early on and will appear much more later. Don't expect much romance at the start.

6. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. All emotional development is slow, and the characters are allowed to be imperfect.
