October 3, 2999.
Twenty-one-year-old Daniel Thompson finally completed his basic studies at the Third Earth Military Academy of the Solar System, becoming a newly minted second lieutenant.
Daniel was faced with two employment choices.
First, he could enlist on the spot, join the Solar System Defense Force, start as a Warriors squad leader, undergo rigorous training, and always be ready to face any enemy, sharpening his skills amid the peaceful regional environment.
Second, he could head to the front line battlefield at the Sagittarius Arm, throwing himself into dangerous combat, either growing quickly or perishing amidst the trials of blood and fire.
According to Daniel's own thoughts, he was more inclined to choose the second option.
But his family and friends didn't agree with his decision.
After all, he was too mediocre.
