Picking Up Attributes in Swallowed Star

Everything began in the summer at the end of the old century. The RR virus swept the world, infecting billions and claiming more than two billion lives. The first animal mutation case appeared in the Middle East, followed by unidentified species invading the Americas. The North American Joint Forces announced the abandonment of thirteen states along the East Coast. The RR virus brought forth an entirely new intelligent species: monsters. Thus, humanity entered the era of the Great Nirvana.

Proposal No. 62, the “Comprehensive Nuclear Strike Plan,” was enacted. Scientific studies had once suggested that launching all nuclear missiles could destroy the earth three times over, but reality proved otherwise—the planet endured. Humanity has always clung to nuclear weapons as its last trump card, believing they could erase all threats. Yet, even in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, plants grew the very next year after the bombings. The power of nuclear arms was far less absolute than people imagined.

The surviving humans sought refuge in underground bases. If worldwide nuclear war had broken out, it would likely have been human civilization itself that perished. Armed with military might, technology, and indomitable will, five great nations survived and formed the Earth Federation, establishing bases in twenty-three other regions. Most crucially, a new force emerged among humanity: martial artists, whose own strength could rival that of the monsters.
