In 2014, the Earth as everyone knew it ceased to exist. The bright sky sank and cracked, the moon trembled, and demonic bizarre creatures crawled from the space itself, or the unknown depths of the Earth. They invaded and exterminated what they wanted, until the births of Walkers decades later changed the status quo, though it was already far too late. Losses have been countless, yet Walkers are heroes and this is a story where they fight for humanity after a century of failing conflicts. Follow the road of William, who is one such Walker; an unlikely young hero born with an Emblem that gives powers of difference. Humans and Walkers are close, yet separate. Threaded in lines of survival and Outside, William might be an Outsider bearing the consequence of his parents, but it won't prevent his inescapable path. An Emblem in his hand signifies more than a choice. He shall be a Walker, watched by the great System who would see and feel this era like no one before, even if secrets and mistrust linger under every land. 2128 is a busy year, and whether one land lacks true authority or hope, the apocalypse has long come into this world. Darks linger as predators, waiting, catching, or looking for fitting prey. William survived more than others, so he could grow, and meet his destiny while trying to remember not to forget too much. Frankly, it isn't some destiny; he just has to do enough and don't kick the bucket. [This is a rewrite of my second-ever novel from two years ago with significant modifications] Chapter lengths: 1700+ words. Release schedule: 2 on weekdays, 1 or 2 on weekends. What can you expect? - A long-term urban/progression web novel with a lot of chapters. - The opening tutorial chunk of the novel aims at the world, characters, and culture on a new Earth, spanning a couple of hundred chapters. There is some political intrigue and slice-of-life elements like learning and teaching in these volumes. - Later down the line, after some plot and characters stick together, the novel shifts into a new direction. There are big LitRPG systems in the background beforehand and those get very direct later. - There is a Xianxia-like progression that defines Ranks of Walkers. Rank 0 to 9. The Emblems are their magic, while the System is their tool.
