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.

Reboot: Mechanic

With the immediate danger temporarily averted, Shi Tian allowed himself a moment of respite within the confines of the dimly lit cave.

His wounds were tended to, his suit was on the mend, and his concealed presence offered a sanctuary of sorts in this unforgiving world.

The eerie stillness of the cave, punctuated only by the faint dripping of water from the rocky ceiling, reminded Shi Tian of the fragility of life in this post-apocalyptic realm.

Survival was a constant battle, and complacency could lead to one's downfall.

His thoughts drifted to the encounter with Theobold's elite soldiers. It had been a baptism by fire, a stark reminder of the ruthlessness that permeated this world. Even though he had emerged victorious, the cost had been high, and he had come perilously close to death.

As he leaned against the cave wall, Shi Tian's mind raced with possibilities and uncertainties.
