Wasteland Survival: I Forge a New Era with My Sword

[A strong female protagonist's growth, hard-edged and intelligent, with demonic beasts, rules, and companions. No romance. Not a mindless power fantasy: there is suffering, and she suffers too. She is not invincible.] In a wasteland ravaged by mutated demonic beasts and mysterious rules, Lin, the lowest-ranked warrior, carries the weight of her past and an equally heavy greatsword. The apocalypse took her family, and her mentor's teachings are her only guide. She vows to protect what little hope remains in this cruel world. Though her source power is weak, Lin has exceptional perception and a cool head. In one life-or-death mission after another, her unique insight and strategic thinking help her overcome crisis after crisis, and she never backs down from powerful demonic beasts. This is a story of survival, wisdom, and growth. Lin masters the mysteries of rule crystals, turns the tide in the depths of despair, and becomes the true Sword of Hope in this wasteland.
