The History of the Great Disaster
(At the end of 2050, the United Nations decided to start a new calendar. The whole world was filled with joy. They thought that it was the beginning of prosperity.
Unfortunately, that was the beginning of what we have come to know as a great disaster.
On the 9th, month 1, year 1. The whole world suddenly had an earthquake. Even though it was only a minor earthquake, it continued for hours.
No one could explain what happened until the land in some remote places suddenly split open, revealing many dark ravines.
Right after that, humanity who had not seen war for a long time finally saw the most terrifying sight.
From the satellite cameras broadcast around the world, people saw countless hands emerge from those dark abyss.
They emerged from the abyss, ascended the land, and invaded the cities of mankind.
In the past, many writers have written stories about viruses that attack humans and turn humans into creatures called zombies. However, what happened was not like their story. They, the zombies don't come from humans, but from the dark underground.)
Hissss...
Qin Tian hissed as he read the book.
He originally thought that the zombies came from humans who were hit by a virus, but they weren't.
They were not humans, but unknown creatures that had come out of the underground.
Compared to humans who contracted the virus, that story sounded even scarier. It hides a mystery that makes people curious but also makes people feel scared when they think about it.
(Who are they? Where did they come from? Nobody knows even now.)
Qin Tian continued reading the book.
(Their arrival is calamity for mankind on the planet Eizentium. They are so numerous that the militaries of many countries are powerless against them.
On that day, there were too many casualties. They continued to attack without stopping. At first, they were as small as humans, but over time, they got bigger and bigger.
The days they attacked were the most terrifying of all. There are too many humans who have died. Being able to live on until I can write this book is like a dream to me.
After their arrival, changes began to occur in the planet Eizentium. It started with the animals suddenly evolving until they turned into super beasts. Then then the humans who also experienced the resurrection.
Six months after that, an alien fleet came to the planet Eizentium. They are the Andromeda Empire.
The Andromeda Empire came with a very strong army. They also have a very strong robot army.
The zombies that were almost unstoppable in the eyes of the people of the planet Eizentium were finally repelled by them.
After that, they then built giant fortresses in the thirty-three major cities of the planet Eizentium.
And they also teach the people of the planet Eizentium how to develop mysterious powers in their bodies.
Until now, none of the people of the planet Eizentium have complained about the Andromeda Empire's takeover of the planet Eizentium.
Apart from the fact that the Andromeda Empire didn't bother them, it was also because they realized how helpless they were in front of those zombies.
But there are always lots of questions about the zombies.
They came from underground, but no one was ever aware of their existence. Although the technology of the planet Eizentium is very behind compared to the Andromeda Empire, we are actually quite capable of detecting what lies beneath the ground.
There are many legends of ancient times, but no stories about them.
Some people say that it's all the result of the Andromeda Empire's conspiracy, but I'm sure it's not their work.
This might be just belief without evidence, but so far there really weren't any strange actions from the Andromeda Empire.
The Andromeda Empire itself said that they had been keeping an eye on the planet Eizentium for a long time. They did not move to take over the planet Eizentium just because at that time the planet Eizentium was still an ordinary planet. In fantasy terms, it is still a mortal planet.
I don't know why they did that, but it seems like there are certain rules in outer space.
Now let's talk about the origins of the zombies. This is going to be a very long post, for those of you who don't like to read, I suggest you close this now. This is just my personal opinion and guess. The truth may be very far from what is written in this book.)
Qin Tian immediately closed the book after he saw the last sentence. He was just curious about the historical outline of the great disaster. He is not interested in the personal opinion of the author. Rather than having to read it, it was better if he heard rumors from people.
After reading the book, he picked up several books on the same topic. After that, he read books containing writings on the structure of the planet Eizentium.
Now he knows that the planet is two and a half times larger than the earth. It is also divided into many countries from small to large like the countries of the earth. Some countries are kingdoms while others are republics.
The population of that planet is also much more than the population of planet earth, but after the disaster, their population has decreased dramatically.
Even though there are thirty-three bases across the planet, in reality there are still quite a number of people trapped outside.
"It really is a very different world." He sighed as he let out cigarette smoke from his mouth.
"Em..." But after that, he immediately jumped out of his chair when he heard the sound of the door creak.
When he turned back, he saw Cherish arriving carrying several sheets of paper that looked like documents.
"Did she see me?" Qin Tian wondered inwardly.
He then walked out of the library.
When he heard what Cherish said when he arrived in front of her, he felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole to hide in.
"You seem to be enjoying yourself well, little brother Qin." She says.
"But you may have to make up for the cigarettes you finish." She added with a playful smile. "Those cigarettes are owned by Rosa. You know, the price of cigarettes is very expensive in this era. Not to mention ordinary people, even most Mages and Warriors can't buy cigarettes as they like."
"..."
"Hahahaha, just kidding." She spoke again when she saw Qin Tian's expression turn ugly.
"I promised not to tell Rosa. As long as she doesn't realize that she has fewer cigarettes, everything will be fine."
"There's no way he's not conscious." Qin Tian answered silently. Don't joke, he spent more than half. Now there are only a few sticks left, unless Rosa lost her memory, there is no way she didn't realize that her cigarette was stolen.
"All right, take this." Cherish then handed over the documents she brought to Qin Tian.
"The documents are an agreement between you and the Moon Palace guild. You can read them first before signing them."
Qin Tian took the documents. He read them for a few moments before signing them. As Adolf once said, the guild rules were lax enough that Qin Tian was not too worried.
After Qin Tian signed all the documents, Cherish then handed him a dark red card. "Bring this card as proof of your membership." Said Cherish.
Qin Tian accepted the card, and he then took a closer look at it.
On the front of the card he saw his data. They consist of his name, team, and membership card number.
As for the back of the card, there was only the Moon Palace insignia.
"Try putting that card on your bracelet, it'll show more data." Said Cherish.
Qin Tian nodded before he followed Cherish's words.
Tit.tit.
The bracelet in his hand suddenly rang. After that, a virtual screen appeared above the bracelet. But the virtual screen this time did not display the menu for the ID card, but the menu for the Moon Palace guild member card.
Apart from the data written on the card, there are several other data such as contribution points that can be used to exchange goods. Under the contribution points column he saw a column for selecting missions.
Tit.tit.tit.
The bracelet suddenly rings once again, and this time it rings many times.
After that, Qin Tian saw the virtual screen above the bracelet suddenly change. This time it brought up his bank account menu.
There's a new message there.
He then opened the message.
(You just received 500 Andromeda dollars.)
"That's half your salary that is paid up front. Since you have two potencies, you get a base salary of 1000 dollars a month." Cherish explained.
"Alright, now let's talk about becoming a Mage. For the time being, I will be your mentor." She continued.
Shee didn't give Qin Tian the opportunity to continue paying attention to his salary.
"First, the so-called official Mage is someone who can release spiritual energy from his body and convert that spiritual energy into magic power."
"But to do that, one must have at least 10 points of spiritual energy. Your current spiritual energy is still only 4 points, so you need another 6 points before you can become a Mage."
"So starting today, what you have to do is increase your spiritual energy points."
After saying that, she then took out a syringe which was filled with a bright yellow liquid.
