Description: [edit] [history]

This story begins with the appearance of a fleet of unknown spacecraft arriving above all of Earth's major settlements and cities, causing widespread panic and chaos to become commonplace. The alien fleet is controlled by an unimaginably advanced artificial intelligence that oversees all activity on arrival, known as 'the System'. A voice that doesn't use words appears inside the mind of every living creature on the planet. It labels them as 'System Users' and is recognized as belonging to the alien artificial intelligence, offering Users a path to power and immortality. The voice announces that the [Trial Phase] has now begun.

Shortly afterwards, the sky became cloaked in fire. The dead began to rise again as demonic creatures that appeared as twisted parodies of what they were in life. Users began to awaken supernatural abilities that allowed them to combat this new threat at the cost of civilization as we know it. The System's motives are a mystery that must be uncovered as the fate of the world rests firmly in its grasp.

Does the System's arrival herald the world's hope for salvation or is it the cause of its tragic downfall?

What to Expect:

⚠️ This is a re-upload of my very first fiction (after much demand), so expect VERY poor-quality writing

• No status screens

• Slow burn! So, don't be misled by the beginning. It subverts a lot of reader's expectations

• Based a lot on real-life trauma I've experienced, so it has a lot of gritty realism
