On July 1st, just before dawn, it happened suddenly. Direct-magnitude earthquakes of magnitude 8 to 9 occurred in various places.

It happened not only in Japan but also all over the world. In Japan, many people were sleeping and many people were killed due to collapse of houses.

The earthquake severely damages the transportation and communication networks of each country.

Catastrophe However, this event was later referred to as "" rather than "catastrophe" because of the incredible phenomenon that followed.

Another bulge was raised from a crack in the ground caused by the earthquake. The ground was blue in color, close to black, and had an eerie atmosphere due to the strange contrast of the surroundings.

And unknown creatures and things that can be called monsters crawl out of the holes and cracks in the blue earth and start attacking humans! !

Naturally, troops from various countries (SDF in Japan) intercepted the monsters, but their weapons and ammunition had no effect on the monsters. No, I could kill it, to be exact. However, in some cases it was inefficient and took too long to work with stronger individuals.

Dark matter As you will see later, it turns out that these creatures and the lands raised by earthquakes contain a large amount of "unknown elementary particles." He has published a theory that he is not, but the credibility is uncertain because "" itself is only a hypothesis.

In Japan, this substance was tentatively called "magic". In some cases, weapons and ammunition that did not contain magical elements could not cause fatal damage to the monsters, and could recover in a short period of time.

Conversely, it has been confirmed that if humans are injured by creatures containing magical elements, the wounds heal slowly.

Swagger This monster was of a different type depending on the country in which it appeared. In some countries, giant "dragons" flew in the sky, and in some countries, "giants". In Japan, monstrous "zombies" like the ones in the movies hit people.

A few months after the desperate situation of humanity, the EU announced that parts of the dark earth contained trace metals.

This is good news for armies of nations fighting monsters. Because this metal contains a large amount of "magic", it can create weapons against monsters! !

However, the amount of metal contained in the rock is very small and it is difficult to mine safely, so it becomes a rare metal. It was difficult to do so, and he did not overturn the situation.

JASDF Gifu Base

"Are you able to contact Atsugi?"

"No. Communication has been cut off since yesterday. Did it still die? There was a report that it was attacked by monsters like birds flying in the sky just before."

"I can't expect U.S. military support. I don't hear that Yokosuka is completely destroyed."

Gifu Base, 1st Class Kusa Sakaki confirmed the current situation with a steep face.

Tokyo and Fukuoka are the two places where the most devastating terrain has emerged in Japan. Due to the concentration of capital functions in Tokyo, all major functions of the country were shut down when it was destroyed.

In addition, the U.S. military base in Yokosuka and the SDF base near Kanto are destroyed shortly after the monsters attack at this time! Japan loses much of its fight against fossils.

As a result, it was divided into east and west, bordering the Kanto region, and it became impossible to cooperate with the Chitose base in Hokkaido.

A large amount of creatures overflow from Fukuoka, causing enormous damage. The U.S. military in Okinawa is currently marching in Kyushu, and appears to be engaged in battle, but the communication situation is shredded and accurate information is difficult to enter. The higher the concentration of "magic", the worse the communication situation becomes. Perhaps "magic" has a function to interrupt communication.

Although the Prime Minister's Office is trying to relocate the political functions to Osaka and reestablish a chain of command, there are reports that the monsters overflowing in Tokyo are also moving here.

Since refugees from the Kanto area are moving to the Kansai area, they seem to be aiming for places where people are gathering.

Currently, they are working with Gifu Base and the Ground Self-Defense Force base in Aichi Prefecture to intercept monsters coming from Tokyo as the last line of defense.

If we pass here, Japan may be destroyed.
