A Bloody Campaign in the Apocalypse

A new world rises from nuclear ruins. The surface is no longer fit for human habitation, and under the guidance of the World Government, survivors retreat underground to live. After a century and a half of underground construction and expansion, they establish a new world order, unify religious beliefs, and declare the surface a forbidden zone. The underground world is governed like a military state. All resources belong to the government and are distributed according to its rules. Qiu Long is born underground, in an age of stifled thought, crumbling faith, and citizens whose every action is constrained. From childhood, he roams the fringes of society. Manipulated into killing a Resistance leader, he witnesses the government's brutal purges and sees the Council of Elders treat all living things as worthless. He realizes that the faith upheld for a century and a half is nothing but a lie meant to deceive society. To survive, he battles strange beasts and braves other worlds. To fulfill his mission, he comes to respect his final adversary, even as they fight to the death. He grows stronger in battle against his enemies and offers forgiveness when betrayed by his companions. He is devastated by the truth of his origins, yet accepts his fate with open arms. To save a world on the brink of collapse, he embarks on a passionate path to redeem himself and the world.
