Chen Jian's routine training mission abruptly shatters into an alternate dimension, trapping him and his squad in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where monsters reign supreme and humanity clings to survival beneath their deadly dominion. In this savage realm, the remnants of civilization have crumbled. Humans have surrendered their morality, embracing primal brutality as the only language of power. Evolution into monstrosity seems the sole path to victory. Chen Jian arrives expecting to surrender himself to the same maddening transformation consuming everyone around him. Then a tungsten-core armor-piercing round tears through a Kui Niu's keratin armor with devastating precision—and everything changes. A revelation strikes him in that moment of impact: perhaps humanity doesn't require becoming the very beasts they fight. Perhaps there exists another method to survive this hellscape, one that doesn't demand the death of his soul.
