Omnipresent: Undercurrent

(The author does not write full-time, and update times are irregular.)

In the year 2060 of the Qiyuan era, five years have passed since the Old Alliance War ended. The world, devastated and scarred, has entered a long period of demining and reconstruction. Humanity has forged peace once more. Yet competing for limited resources is something humans have always done, so countless people are still drawn into struggles with no end in sight. One part of this struggle is the intelligence work carried out by agents hidden in the most secret corners. They may seem insignificant, yet they can start or end a storm. They are both the shield defending the new order and the blade that dismantles the old, following like shadows and present everywhere among the vast crowds.

In October, the theft of a confidential list silently draws every region into a vast wave of espionage. Some work to root out undercover agents at home, while others travel abroad to quell unrest. But as suspicion divides factions and conspiracies shatter the balance, those caught up in events realize that a vast and terrifying power has been steering the turmoil all along, intent on igniting the next war.

"But who is born a destroyer?"

In a single thought, one can become a god or a demon. That is the answer humanity has given to civilization.
