Humanity is still breathing.
But only because soldiers keep dying beneath the sky.
The world is under siege by monstrous beings known as Big Spikes, and mankind’s last defense is the Azure Alliance—an army of warriors who fight with source energy, high-speed maneuvering devices, and Dead Iron blades. On this battlefield, one mistake means death.
Lin Qingyu was supposed to be just another recruit.
Then his fusion test marks him as A-rank—a rare talent with the potential to change the future of the war.
Before he can even master his armor, assassins come for him.
Traitors hide among the recruits. Fanatics whisper of humanity’s extinction as if it were salvation. And behind the endless war, a secret buried by scientists, soldiers, and madmen begins to surface.
The monsters want mankind dead.
But the greater danger may already be standing among humans.
Thrown into brutal training, impossible missions, and battles no ordinary soldier should survive, Lin Qingyu must learn what it truly means to fight.
Not for glory.
Not for rank.
But for the people still breathing beside him.
In the Azure Alliance, heroes are not born.
They are forged in blood, source energy, and the moment they refuse to retreat.
For the living.
No retreat.
With their bodies, they hold up the sky.
Genre: Science Fiction
