In the year 2139, the world changed. Fundamentally and irrevocably. 

Everything happened too quickly. The sky cracked like an egg and armored dinosaur-like monsters lurched out of the fissure. The split, though small at first, quickly widened. Within a few short hours, these beasts had overrun the world. 

Countries, even those who had been enemies for centuries, sounded a global alarm. Political differences were cast aside as humans scrambled to find a solution—any solution—to what became known as the Great Disaster 1.0. 

Human experimentations began, first in reluctance, then in earnest. As days turned into weeks and weeks into months, failure rates remained high. Desperate for results, global authorities started turning a blind eye to how experimental subjects were sourced. 

Countless victims were kidnapped and trafficked to state-run laboratories. Shi Tian was but one of them. But unlike those who died nameless, in pain, and unrecognizable, he had the fortune of surviving after being injected with humanity’s last hope—an integrated chip. 

Except… the chip remained dormant. It seemed that certain circumstances must be met before the chip could be activated. What those circumstances were, even the scientists in charge could not answer.

Being suddenly given the job to price their product, Mary was at first shocked before showcasing her receptionist skills.

The price that she originally had in mind for the Claymore Mines was no longer applicable. With how effective Shi Tian's unorthodox marketing skills, their products are now in high demand.

'At the cost of one dumb person's life, Nathan was able to capitalize on our trap so high. I have severely underestimated him this time.' Mary thought to herself, finding Shi Tian in a new light.

She was even more impressed that he was able to use the fake alias they came up with and proudly introduced himself as an affiliation of Optic Mech.

Not only did this save them time and effort to make his decoy come to light, but he was able to gather all the attention onto himself with just this ploy alone.
