One day, every person between the ages of 18 and 30 suddenly received a notification.
[The Universe League is starting]
[World-261738 has earned the right to participate in the bronze league.]
[Congratulations]
[You have one year to prepare for the league.]
[Preparing users for the system]
[Successful]
Hundreds of messages suddenly appeared before their eyes, shocking everyone. Some thought the end of the world had come. Others were excited about being transported to a fantastical world. Many worried about their families. Everyone who thought it was a game was wrong. By the time they realized the truth, they were already dead.
The system activated and offered people around the world the chance to grow stronger. Many failed the test. Those who passed became the leaders and strongest of their time.
Power system
1-100 level: novice soldier
100-200 level: mercenary
300-400 level: immortal soldiers
400-450 level: Kings
400-??? Unknown
Within a year, people joined the league with 100 mercenary soldiers and 1 million novice soldiers.
The objective was simple: destroy the enemy's planet.
Either survive or be destroyed.
Everyone was given the choice. After the preparation phase, the system was only visible to those who had just turned 18. There were two options on the screen.
[Give up] [Accept]
Most people refused to accept out of fear and later regretted it. The league began, and the next day, the natives of other planets began attacking Earth. Their intelligence was low, so they were lucky. After a 50-year war, humans won their first battle.
As the level of those who accepted increased, their lifespans also increased. Mercenaries still looked as young as 20-year-olds.
Rewards were given based on contributions and the number of kills. The resources of the losing planet were given to the winner, and the natives of the other planet were annihilated as punishment.
At the end of the war, there were 1 billion casualties and 100 million new superhumans.
[Congratulations, you won your first match]
[Time remaining until the next war: 3 years and 5 months]
Eldric Wyrmsong was someone who lost his family and everyone he knew in the first war in this new world. He didn't know who started this league, but he harbored endless hatred toward them. When he learned that his mother had been devoured by monsters, his sister crushed under a building, his father died protecting him, his 5-year-old brother was crushed by monsters, and his lover was raped by monsters, he felt helplessness to the extreme. These events, one after another, drove him into an endless rage.
With only three year left until the second war, Eldric turned 18.
