Swallowed Star

Chapter 6: Exams

Runs about 15 minutes — one of 1,486 narrated chapters on Arcwave.

Earth has been overrun by monsters; the surviving cities are walled fortresses that train Warriors out of teenagers. Luo Feng is one of those teenagers — top in his city, broke, raising a family — and a relic from a vanished cosmic civilisation picks him on a Tuesday. The relic is not a tool. It is a test, and it will run him until he is something the universe knows how to file.
