Seventeen years later.
On the edge of the Unified Nation's territory sat a small town called "Twilight Town." It wasn't exactly prosperous, but life there was relatively peaceful.
Twilight Town wasn't tiny. Walking from the central square to the edge of town took about forty minutes. Around the square stood all kinds of shops selling daily goods, food, and small trinkets. The townspeople's houses were mostly brick with red roofs and white walls, lined up neatly. Not exactly beautiful, but clean. Outside the town were wide fields of crops and rolling green mountains.
Twilight Town was under the control of the "Iron Blood Squad," Third Unit. There were about fifty soldiers in this unit. Their leader was a man named Karl, twenty-eight years old, tall, with a deep scar on his face and sharp, commanding eyes. His weapon was a weird-looking giant axe, the blade carved with patterns, the handle wrapped tightly in thick leather. It looked heavy and powerful.
The soldiers of the Iron Blood Squad patrolled the town every day. They were made up of two types. Some were human soldiers of the Unified Nation, wearing black uniforms and carrying standard-issue guns. The others were "Enemy" soldiers, with all kinds of strange looks and abilities — they were the Unified Nation's main fighting force.
Karl was strict with the townspeople, but he didn't use violence for no reason. As long as people followed the Unified Nation's rules, they could live peacefully.
Of course, not everyone was okay with that. Some residents hated losing their freedom and secretly organized to fight back. But most chose to bear it quietly and go on with their daily lives. In times like these, just being alive felt like luck.
Wu Ji, seventeen years old, grew up in a town like this.
That day, he had just finished his last high school exam. He was walking home with a happy look on his face.
But when he passed the square and saw a new control notice posted on the wall, he felt something tighten in his chest.
He didn't know what to call it. But tonight, that "something" would keep him awake.
