Nemesis Star: Earthfall: The System

[System Alert: Congratulations on your selection for System Integration.]

For over a century, humanity thrived on StarFire Crystals, alien gems pulled from a hidden star system orbiting a dead brown dwarf. They powered ships, cities, and civilization itself. Until Nemicorp seized control, declared independence, and plunged the solar system into war.

Now it's 2254. Earth is in ruins. The United Earth government is gone. Nemicorp rules the skies. And a rogue planet, their final weapon, is hurtling toward Earth like a loaded gun.

Robert is just a small-town militia grunt trying to survive the slow apocalypse. He's not a hero. Not a rebel. Just another man trying to make it to tomorrow, and maybe earn a seat on a rocket when the final siege break begins.

Then the System activates.

Reality begins to change. Skills. Stats. Quests. Power. It's not a game. It's a system designed to push humanity beyond its limits. It's also the last chance anyone's getting.

Because humanity was never alone in the universe.
And someone out there just hit Start.
Level up or burn.

[Final Integration scheduled for Monday, 06:00 Local Time.]
[System Notice: The incoming planetary extinction-class object will not be halted. However, this creates a statistically significant opportunity for you to evolve, adapt, and escape. Please enjoy.]

I do use AI to help me write this story, I primarily use it only for grammer and to help with the overall story, not to generate the story itself.
