The world was never the same after that day.

Humanity learned that they weren't alone in the universe, but that wasn't something they had the time to worry about.

Their realization was accompanied by catastrophe.

Creatures beyond their wildest imaginations poured down from the sky and appeared from the earth. They slaughtered humans as if it was their singular purpose, driving them to the brink of extinction.

The people of the world did everything in their power, developing unique traits and technologies to create a united front their enemies couldn't penetrate. 

They secured victories and repopulated, feeling as if they stood a chance against the foreign invaders. 

They fought and they fought, doing everything they possibly could to ensure their survival.

Until the Great Calamities appeared. 

In front of them, humanity was nothing regardless of its efforts.

One by one, the worlds were turned into piles of rubble in between the cracks of their teeth. Civilization was torn apart, and the evolved humans living within could do nothing to stop its collapse. 

Humanity itself was left extinct, and in the end, only a single man was left alive amidst the chaos. 

Why?

For what reason were they punished so? 

Nobody knew why the attacks began in the first place.

He looked into the distance at the memories of the past and firmed his resolve. 

“It can only be me.”

He knew of a miracle that could return him to the place of those memories.

He knew of a way to make the wheels of time spin in reverse. 

And using it, he alone would save humanity from its doomed fate. 

That was his sacred duty as its final survivor.

The flight path of the three-ship fleet was set according to Gio's order, yet, he doubted if there was a single person on the team who was happy about it.

Communications were on hold as they were only traveling, so he couldn't tell how the ground team was reacting, but it was surely more explosive than the passive-aggressively hostile atmosphere on the zephyr.

'They must think I chose Yhien out of arrogance.'

In reality, he chose the monster for two completely different reasons.

First, he knew about this specific monster. Decades later, it was part of a siege in the 3rd Stratum led by several Tier 7 and Tier 8 beasts. As such, he had seen its files before and when he looked in the [Memory Book], he was able to locate information about its habits and weaknesses.

Second, while it seemed like targeting the successor of a Territory Lord was the worst possible idea, it would actually be a net benefit for humanity.
