There Were Others Who Came After

The world changed without warning. Cities fell, monsters roamed, and the familiar civilization collapsed in a matter of days. Lu Chuan was just an ordinary person. He had no grand ambition to save the world. He only wanted to survive the disaster and find his family far away. But along the way, he met all kinds of survivors: some became monsters in their despair, some awakened unbelievable abilities, and others refused to abandon anyone even when they could barely protect themselves. Lu Chuan saved many people, and watched many others die with his own eyes. He once believed that if he became strong enough, he could keep everyone alive. Only later did he understand that the cruelest thing in this world was never facing the man-eating monsters. It was giving everything you had and still being unable to keep the people by your side. The lights of the old world have gone out. And they still have to keep going. Not because everyone survived, but because those who did not make it are all the more reason to carry on.
