Synopsis
World War III ended with the destruction of humanity. In the final moments of his life, soldier Wang Wei watched the sky burn as nuclear fire erased the world he had failed to protect. But instead of death, he awakens in a strange new land—a world ruled not by humans, but by terrifying demonic beasts. Here, humanity is nothing more than prey. With the help of a mysterious System, Wei learns that humans are weak, and within a thousand years, they will go extinct. Their place in the food chain is at the very bottom. But Wei is given a mission. Create a new path. A Path to Immortality. A path that will allow humanity to evolve, grow stronger, and one day stand against the monsters that hunt them. With only 100 years of protection inside a mysterious barrier, Wei must train, build a civilization, and guide humanity toward a future where they are no longer livestock. In a world where humans are born as prey… Immortality is not a blessing. It is the only way to survive. If you love kingdom-building, cultivation or system novels, this story is for you.

Chapter 1 - "Reincarnation"

A young boy name Wang Wei wearing a soldier's uniform, ran across the battlefield. his body covered in sweat and mud, desperately searching for a safe place.

Gunfire echoed from every direction.

Bullets tore through the air.

Breathing heavily, he dropped to the ground and began crawling. After a few tense seconds, he found a small corner of broken concrete and hid behind it.

As he caught his breath, his eyes fell on something beside him.

A body.

A fellow soldier.

The man's uniform was torn apart, his lifeless eyes staring at the empty sky.

For a moment, the young soldier froze.

Then anger began boiling inside him.

His fists clenched.

"YAAAAA! You fucking bastards! Damn it! I'm not going to let you get away with this!"

He jumped out from cover and started firing wildly.

Bullets sprayed across the battlefield.

He didn't even look to see if they hit the enemy or not.

All he saw was rage.

All he heard was the screaming in his head.

Click.

Click.

Click.

His gun ran out of bullets.

Panting, he looked around.

Something was wrong.

The gunfire had stopped.

The battlefield… was silent.

In the distance, he saw enemy soldiers running.

Not fighting.

Running.

Running without even looking back.

Before he could understand what was happening, a voice suddenly crackled through his walkie-talkie.

"Attention. This is not a drill."

"Enemy atomic weapons have been launched. Impact is imminent."

"If you can hear this message—run. Find shelter. Protect yourself."

"This may be the last command."

"May humanity survive…"

The soldier slowly looked toward the horizon.

Far away, a massive mushroom-shaped cloud was rising into the sky.

His heart began pounding violently.

Thump.

Thump.

Thump.

Then he ran.

Just like the enemy soldiers.

Just like everyone else.

Desperately searching for somewhere to hide.

But it was too late.

A blinding flash lit up the sky.

A massive wave of heat rushed across the battlefield, devouring everything in its path.

Buildings melted.

Steel twisted.

Men vanished.

Wang Wei didn't even get the time to scream.

In a single instant—

He was gone.

Evaporated by the fire of the sun brought down to earth.

 

 

Haaa my head hearts that's what is happening.

Wang Wei naked slowly stood up.

He looked around.

All he could see were trees and mountains stretching into the distance.

A cold wind brushed past him.

"Where am I…?" he muttered.

 The world was different. The roar of the explosion was gone, replaced by a chilling silence and the scent of trees and mountain.

Every breath felt strange, every movement foreign, as if his body no longer belonged to him.

"I don't remember doing any good deeds that would send me to heaven."

Suddenly—

A sharp pain exploded inside his head.

"Ahh…!"

He grabbed his head as memories began flooding into his mind.

They were not his memories.

They belonged to the previous owner of this body.

Images flashed rapidly before his eyes.

What he saw made his entire body tremble.

Humans…

Being raised like chickens.

Monsters kept them inside large wooden cages.

They fed them every day.

Just like humans feed chickens.

Some humans were chosen and taken away.

They were slaughtered.

Then eaten.

Just like how humans eat chicken.

Wang Wei's legs suddenly gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground.

"No… this can't be real…"

The memories continued.

This body originally belonged to a young boy.

A boy who had been raised by monsters since birth.

Today, the monsters were planning to send him as a "gift" to another monster.

But during the journey…

Something unexpected happened.

The boy fell from the sky.

And died.

That was the moment Wang Wei's soul entered this body.

Even after the memories stopped, Wang Wei's body continued trembling uncontrollably.

His face had turned pale.

He looked at his hands.

Small.

Thin.

Weak.

"I… was reborn?"

His voice trembled.

Then another thought appeared in his mind.

"If humans are livestock here…"

"Then monsters…"

"What kind of world did I come to…?"

Then Wang Wei shook his head.

"That's not important right now."

"I've read a lot of novels. Every person who gets reincarnated usually receives a cheat… a powerful skill, an old master, or a system."

As soon as he finished saying those words—

A cold mechanical voice suddenly echoed inside his mind.

[System has connected to host.]

For a moment, Wang Wei froze.

Then his eyes widened.

"System?!"

Excitement exploded inside him.

"Hahaha!"

Wang Wei almost jumped in joy.

"Just like the novels!"

"I knew it! How could a reincarnated person not have a cheat?"

His heart began racing with excitement.

In a world where humans were treated like livestock by monsters…

A system might be his only chance to survive.

Wang Wei quickly calmed himself and spoke in.

"System… show me your functions."

His eyes shone with hope.

A system.

When he opened the system panel, it looked just like a game interface.
