Question: How many steps does it take to go from a ruler’s juvenile form to the complete version?
Young Ling Zhao: Starts out as an orphan, while the game chip that might be her cheat is constantly holding her back.
Complete Ling Zhao: The First Person of the Post-Interstellar Era · First Commander · God-Tier Star Adept · Hope of Humanity · Sole Heir to the Miracle Project…
In the post-interstellar era, alien beasts run rampant and the Empire’s rule is steadily crumbling. While everyone sings the praises of the Empire’s downfall, a princess forgotten by the world quietly binds herself to a game chip called the Myriad Nations Hunting Ground.
There, as the Empire’s sole heir, she uses the faith of her people as an admission ticket and competes against other life-forms in exchange for rewards.
And so begins the journey of a relentless champion.
Champion of the Thirty-Six Schools League? Hand it over.
Champion of the Prodigy Breakthrough Tournament? Hand it over.
The royal identity, the Sovereign’s Crown, the lost Blue Star, the scattered human armies—hand over every last one of them.
At first, Ling Zhao’s dream was to become the strongest person in White Tower City. Later, she raised the difficulty a little and aimed to become the strongest person in the Empire. After that, without even realizing it, she reached the summit of the Myriad Nations Hunting Ground—and casually played the game chip into collapse.
Years later, the battered and black-and-blue nations of the universe asked, “Why did you provoke her in the first place?”
All of humanity: Even the smallest among us has the right to leave a mark on this vast universe. Today is another day spent advancing toward our great sovereign!
(My own take on a sci-fi setting, with plenty of original worldbuilding and headcanons. Not a mecha-based story; the pace is somewhat slow at first. The early stages focus primarily on military academies and military campaigns, while the later stages expand into the game and the wider universe of nations.)
