X Beijin is in shock.

Hes just heard an unimaginable story from NEs description.

He even hears NE repeating a phrase repeatedly by his ears, making him feel dizzy, and then, making a violent wrath fill his chest.

He closes his eyes for a mont, and suddenly says, shut up

NE does so, and comnts, youre being impolite, then it seems to wonder curiously, is this what it ans to be human?

X Beijin says coldly, youre just an AI, NE. Its none of your business.

Strange symbols flash through NEs eyes, seemingly analysing what X Beijin ans, perhaps.

Not that X Beijin is interested, as hes simply irritated.

Regarding Lin Qins identity.

And, the Fyecas.

When the phrase pops into his ears, hed swear it feels like hes dreaming.

He He thought hed forgotten entirely, despite the many tis the phrase has threatened to exit his mouth angrily, hatefully, coldly, but he would always co to swallow it back in by habit.

He thought he would never co to speak of the species na anymore.

All these years he has co to know very well his own powerlessness. Being used to apathy when the terms co up, as if he doesnt know, as if he wasnt familiar.

Of course, he knew they would be brought up eventually in conversation with NE, but he wasnt expecting it to be through this wayThrough Lin Qin.

The Fyecas are the ones who trapped humans in the Tower. They are the one behind NE, as the Missiontakers and Actors liked to suspect.

The Fyecas, are the perpetrators that caused the Apocalypse for humans, and for Earth.

Not that the Fyecas were targeting humans by any chanceIts true.

Humans are just too weak. They couldnt afford to shrug off a stray shot from the specialised neuro-paralysis weapon fired by the Fyecas in the process of war with another interstellar species.

It was a while before the Fyecas discovered that the shot was ineffective on their enemies, who didnt show casualties that they were expecting.

The neuro-paralysis weapon took so ti to manifest its devastating consequences fully, so it was an Earth year before the Fyecas finally figured everything out, during which human civilisation is already on the brink of collapse because of their callousness.

But the Fyecas arent going to right their wrongs, or even to save what lives remained.

Instead, realising that they were so unknown, sentient lifeform, the simplest way out of trouble is to snuff them out entirely.

So, the Raining Hellfire.

There were still lucky human survivors, because the many operations by the high profile Fyecas has already raised so eyebrows among other interstellar species.

Yet, the weak, primitive human civilisation has never so much as managed to uncover the grand mysteries of the Universe, and theyre certainly not a signatory of the Universal Accords.

In fact, so far beneath their attention was humanity that the Fyecas wouldnt even have to stand trial for their treatnt of humanity according to the Universal Accords.

Though conversely, by its terms, this tiny blue marble and its native humans, as they were first discovered by the Fyecas, have beco their property;

This insignificant species, about as valuable to them as ants are to humans, have beco the Fyecas subordinate species.

Naturally, there wouldnt even be an emissary to explain to humans that, they were the unfortunate victims of a mishap, but luckilyOr pitifullyThey are now a subservient subordinate of the Fyecas.

Because the Fyecas are one of the strongest species on the galactic stage, with a characteristic to their lifeforms that renders them practically nigh invulnerable.

So they dont an to really integrate these spoils of war nad humans; they exist too differently.

For the warmongering, powerful Fyecas, the squishy atballs that are humans are too laughably weak to be worth their ti.

So they just sent officers ahead to inform them of their eventual fate on Earth.

And after a month, the Fyecas sent a bulky starship to co take the subordinate species away.

Because not even the Fyecas would be interested in running afoul of the Universal Accords, they cant simply kill all the humans and commit genocide anymore.

What awaited them, though, wasnt a warm reception, but apparently, a discombobulating maze.

Oddly enough, humans also have a traitor among them, who told them about so defect in this maze.

Not that it would have mattered at all, except in the form of showing humans just exactly how powerless they are in the face of them.

Then the Fyecas took every surviving human with them, which wasnt even a big number anymore.

When they left, the humans can only watch their charred mother planet without a speck of green on it anymore, Earth, that once-blue marble, fade into the distance. Theyre saying goodbye, perhaps, forever.

What happened up to this point, is sothing the Missiontakers have already more or less figured out.

They know about the Apocalypse, about the aliens, about the traitor. But they dont know what followed next.

Why the Tower is here, for example.

Which was just a simple story, really.

The warmongering Fyecas run all their spoils of war through gauntlets to screen them. To them, they dont need any subordinate species that cant help win wars, so they must win the selection gauntlets to prove their own worthA worth for war.

Only creatures that made it through the gauntlets can be deed warriors and allowed to continue living.

The weak constitution of humans made it blatantly obvious that this weak species might only ever be useful in a gauntlet of wisdom and strategizing.

So they decided to implent so random design docunt they happened upon through their omniscient senses when they went to Earth before.

They assigned a ga Server, NE, to the task.

Then, the surviving humans were wiped of their mories of the Apocalypse, of the Fyecas and then shipped into nutrient pods, and found themselves in the Tower.

After that

NE explains, in the early days, so humans perford well, so the Fyecas drafted them and put them into the battlefield between the Fyecas and Maertons, for them to prove that theyve beco useful Warriors.

I hear they did, but unfortunately, their bodies really were too weak against the harshness of the elents in the universe. They all died very soon, and possibly seeing wasted potential in this, the Fyecas made an attempt.

They had the brain mapping of one of the dead warriors recast into the ga, while dramatically altering his physical stats in-ga.

He was strengthened greatly, while having his human thought patterns maintained as pristinely as possible.

As an experint, he was to be confined to the bottom floor of the Tower. The brain map didnt include any of his mories either. Other players would be tuned to ignore any inhuman abnormalities they see in him.

And that, is your boyfriend.
