The discovery of the so-called dimensional world heralded a new era for humanity. This world, populated with lifeforms of ever-increasing strength, would soon become known as a treasure trove for those hunters willing to brave its risk. Soulshards and gene fragments obtained by killing such lifeforms could be assimilated into their bodies, transforming them into genetically enhanced fighters and setting the stage for the age of genetic enhancement.

Armed with foreknowledge, Zhang Lie will blaze a path for humanity to the stars—and beyond.
