Cataclysm Era!

Night.

Pitch black as ink.

The moonlight was clear and bright, draping over the earth like a bolt of white silk.

BOOM!!

On the moonlit wasteland, a fifteen-meter-long black giant python slammed down, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Hideous wounds covered its entire body; the giant python was already on the verge of death.

The surrounding soil was soaked in its blood, turning a deep, pungent red.

In the dark of night, a young man wearing a black Combat Suit with a long, narrow Saber Case on his back leaped down from a giant boulder.

His movements were agile and nimble as he wove through the darkness.

Lin Ye crouched down, his sharp Battle Saber piercing through the python's impenetrable skull, completely extinguishing its remaining life force.

Only then did Lin Ye begin to gasp for air without restraint, a profound sense of exhaustion making him unwilling to move.

At the same time.

A cold, synthesized electronic voice rang out in Lin Ye's mind—

[Killed one High-level Beast Soldier, obtained 5 Attribute Points!]

Hearing this familiar electronic sound, Lin Ye's expression remained calm as he directly commanded in his mind: "Panel, Point Allocation!"

HUM!!

A tingling sensation, like an electric current, appeared out of thin air and quickly flowed through his entire body.

Immediately after, wisps of strength manifested from nothingness and surged rapidly through his body, abundant... the sensation of power increasing soon faded away.

Stretching out his hands and silently feeling the return of his strength, Lin Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he whispered in his mind: "Open information panel."

[Name: Lin Ye (High-level Warrior)]

[Attribute Points: 0]

[Movement Technique: Microscopic Level (Proficiency 55/100)]

[Strength: 4250kg]

[Speed: 62.5m/s]

[Psychic Power: Not Awakened (Gray)]

[Domain: Not Awakened (Gray)]

[Clone: Not Awakened (Gray)]

[Memory: Incomplete (Complete at Planetary Level)]

[...]

(Average strength of an adult human male: 100kg, speed: 9m/s)

As his thoughts swept over his strength and speed, a look of realization appeared on Lin Ye's face—

"One point increased my strength by 50kg and my speed by 0.5m/s; that's acceptable."

Lin Ye pondered secretly, well aware of the situation.

As his own strength increased, the Attribute Points gained from killing monsters of the same level would decrease accordingly.

The "Psychic Power" in the next column was inherent to the panel.

When Lin Ye first saw it, he was extremely excited.

Furthermore, the information he perceived from it indicated:

By consuming a large number of Attribute Points, 'Psychic Power' could be fully activated, after which one could increase its level using Attribute Points or cultivation.

"Once I've saved up enough Attribute Points, I might try out Psychic Power."

His consciousness continued to delve deeper.

The 'Not Awakened' status in the Domain column was also inherent to the panel.

Like "Psychic Power," it was in an inactive, gray state.

This time, however, Lin Ye perceived that [Domain] would only automatically activate once his own strength reached a certain level.

This was something he could accept.

Every action has its consequence; getting something for nothing would only make him uneasy.

Reborn into this life, Lin Ye firmly believed in one truth—there is no such thing as a free lunch.

The gifts of fate have long been marked with a price in the dark.

Perhaps the missing portion of my memories is the cost of this transmigration.

But to reach Planetary Level just to restore my memories... who knows how long that will take.

The evening breeze carried away his sigh, drifting deep into the wilderness.

Lin Ye picked up his alloy Battle Saber, watching the biting cold light flow across the blade, his gaze resolute:

Rather than sitting idle and waiting for death, I believe in the blade in my hand. In this crisis-ridden Cataclysm Era, I will carve out a world of my own and protect everything I cherish.

For now, I must kill more monsters and reach the General Level first.

Finally, his consciousness settled on the [Clone] tab.

Based on the information he perceived, activating the [Clone] would also require a massive amount of Attribute Points.

However, the consumption required for this 'Clone' was far beyond what Lin Ye could afford at the moment.

If I had that many Attribute Points, I would be better off using them for Point Allocation in strength and speed; improving my strength to save my life is what matters most.

He was not blinded by the information in these tabs, remaining clear-headed—

To survive in the Cataclysm Era, strength is the foundation of everything.

A glimmer of anticipation appeared in his eyes: As for the Psychic Power, Domain, and Clone further down the information panel, I will consider them once my strength is sufficient.

Withdrawing his consciousness from the information panel, his cold and calm eyes swept over his right arm.

On his right arm was a rank insignia—a 'High-level Warrior' badge.

As of now, he was a High-level Warrior.

Woo~ woo~

The sultry night wind swept across the wilderness, and the faint roars of monsters drifted from the distance.

The wind of the wilderness interrupted Lin Ye's thoughts.

Standing beside the carcass of the giant python, he drew a dagger from the sheath on his Combat Suit and began to dissect it swiftly.

"Puchi!"

"Huala!"

The unadorned sound of cutting was dull and rapid, stirring up waves of pungent, fishy stench.

Lin Ye remained completely unmoved, his technique clean and efficient.

He was already well-versed in the task of harvesting materials.

Soon, the Black Scale Ferocious Python was dismantled by Lin Ye, its massive body reduced to a pile of flesh and blood.

Every valuable part was collected by Lin Ye into his backpack—the snake eyes, snake gall, snake tongue, snake fangs... he didn't even spare the snake whip!

Shouldering the slightly heavy backpack, Lin Ye gazed quietly into the distance with cold, sharp eyes, lost in thought.

Today is September 16, 2019.

In the blink of an eye, he had already been transmigrated into this world for four years.

Gradually, he had grown to love this new life with a family of four—a father, a mother, and a younger sister.

Compared to his lonely life as a wage slave in his previous life.

This life was undoubtedly far happier.

He had thought this beautiful life would continue forever.

However, catastrophe descended!

Rampant mutated viruses altered the genes of all life.

Mountains, plains, oceans, deserts... all over the world, one ferocious and brutal monster after another mutated.

They attacked human settlements, feeding on flesh and blood to achieve higher levels of evolution...

Over these past four years, humanity and monsters had engaged in countless large-scale wars.

As the wars continued, humanity retreated step by step, losing territory and people, finding themselves at an absolute disadvantage!

Bloodshed, darkness, madness, turmoil, despair... all kinds of emotions sprouted rapidly across the world, sweeping through like a violent storm.

The weapons once held in pride were repeatedly thwarted when facing high-tier monsters, suffering crushing defeats.

They even pushed the mutation of monsters to new heights, giving birth to even more savage beasts!

Great metropolises fell one after another, turning into playgrounds and breeding grounds for monsters;

Island nations struggled desperately, only to eventually perish in despair;

Pieces of human civilization were trampled under the feet of monsters, wantonly abused and crushed.

For four years, humanity and monsters had fought battle after battle.

The world order had undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering transformation.

Fortunately, heaven never leaves a man without a way.

As monsters mutated, humanity also began to evolve.

The class of warriors rose amidst this chaotic era, forming a system of their own.

Although this warrior system was incomplete, the pioneers walking the path of human evolution were constantly striving to perfect it.

Relying on one bloody, life-or-death battle after another, they barely managed to stabilize a war situation that had been on the brink of total collapse.

Even so, the current situation for humanity remains far from optimistic.

Beyond the shelters and fortresses.

All manner of hideous and terrifying monsters stir restlessly, ready at any moment to break through the defensive lines and slaughter humanity to the last.

Humanity can only continue to strengthen its power, struggling to hold on.

In this world ravaged by monsters and fraught with crisis, strength is the only foundation for the survival of the race.

Therefore, the status of warriors in human society is exceptionally high.

As for Lin Ye, he has relied on the Attribute Panel he awakened a year ago.

Through one life-or-death battle against monsters after another, he has grown into the High-level Warrior he is today.

In this world where monsters run rampant and humanity hangs by a thread, having no strength is a death sentence!

Thinking of his parents, who died tragically to draw away monsters and provide a path to survival for him and his younger sister, a faint mist welled up in Lin Ye's eyes.

He gently closed his eyes, and memories quietly surfaced.

Ever since the virus raged and the Cataclysm Era descended.

Lin Ye has seen far too many humans die miserable deaths at the hands of monster herds.

In such an era of cataclysm, having no strength is equivalent to losing everything.

A moment later, Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them: "Therefore, finding a way to improve my strength is the only true path!"

"Otherwise, it is very difficult to survive in this world!"

The night grew deeper, and at some point, the moon was obscured by a thick layer of clouds.

"Mr. Lin Ye, traces of a group of Pig-like Monster have been discovered outside the canyon to the southwest of Shelter Zone 057. Among them are two suspected High-level Beast Soldier. We are currently short-handed, so we ask that you go and resolve this."

The sudden prompt from the Command Center over his earpiece interrupted Lin Ye's contemplation.

In the current Great Cataclysm, the war between humanity and monsters has intensified, with many villages, towns, and cities already wiped out by Beast Tide.

Forced by necessity, the military and warriors have had to establish shelters and fortresses everywhere to combat the monsters.

This provides some protection for the surviving humans.

Even so, these shelters are at risk of being attacked by monster herds at any time.

And Lin Ye is one of the elite warriors hired by the military from Shan City to take turns garrisoning the shelters.

"Received, I will handle it!" Lin Ye tapped his earpiece, his voice low.

Afterward, everything returned to silence.

"Two High-level Beast Soldier? Perfect!"

Beneath Lin Ye's calm expression, his eyes began to burn with intensity, and he immediately started the off-road vehicle.

He slammed his foot down on the accelerator.

The off-road vehicle surged forward wildly, leaving a long trail of dust in its wake.
