It's been 20 years since the Earth was devastated by a catastrophic disaster. Although humans have made some progress in recovering from it, the origin of the mysterious voice that echoed in their souls remains a mystery. With no follow-up announcements or changes, 20 years have flown by in the blink of an eye.
Contrary to popular depictions in novels and movies, the zombie apocalypse never took hold. Within just five years, all known zombies were eradicated. Meanwhile, the rampaging animals were tamed after just three years.
The general public found it hard to believe, but religious folks saw it as divine punishment. Scientists, on the other hand, believed that it was just one of many disasters that Earth would face as it advances towards becoming a type 1 civilization according to the Kardashev scale.
Earth's population, once numbering 8 billion, plummeted to 4 billion after the disaster 20 years ago. Sixty-five percent of the casualties were attributed to the catastrophe. Scientists worldwide are still working to uncover the root cause of the event.
The only clue they have is the widely-used Chaos Calendar, which indicates that it's now 10019, not 2043, even though 20 years have passed. No matter what they try, they can't change the date - it seems to be set in stone.

11:59 PM on the 31st of the Month of Ice Spring (formerly December), 10019.
After an eagerly anticipated wait, the cold-blooded voice once again echoed in the souls of all living beings on Earth.
"Synchronization completed and space-time stabilized.
"Get ready for the first season of Endless Carnage, Season 0: The Dueling Fates."
"Every living being, be it human, beast, tree, or plant, holds the potential to become a Supreme."
"Synchronizing the Chaos Calendar. It's now 12:00 AM, the first day of Year 10020, Month of Sanguine Princess. All systems are operational."
In 3, 2, 1... all living beings on the planet Earth will be transported to the Endless Carnage World, King's Continent.
Ding!

The Burning Hoof Country, also known as The Kingdom of Heaven's Flame, is a small kingdom located in the eastern region of the expansive King's Continent.
Suddenly, a group of people from Earth, including a 17-year-old male, appeared in the center of a busy plaza. As they stepped into view, the bustling street fell silent, and all eyes were drawn to them.
"Another planet has been consumed again?!", cried a bystander in disbelief.
"Why so soon? According to the rules, the next planet was supposed to be devoured by this never-ending world in the next 5 years," commented another onlooker.
"What's happening? This is a strange phenomenon, and it has never occurred before for the past 100 millennia," said another person in the crowd.
Minutes passed, and a bystander among the crowd suddenly had an idea and whispered softly, "Isn't it recorded in the Book of Slaughter that this phenomenon happened eons ago?"
The voice was quiet, but it was still heard by everyone, who was still shocked and petrified.
"A change is coming," echoed the collective thoughts of the onlookers.

The sound of shattering glass echoed through the air, accompanied by a high-pitched screech. The barrier protecting the newcomers from Earth shatters into pieces, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"Where are we?" they cry out.
"Welcome to the World of Endless Carnage, inhabitants of Earth!" A voice booms.
"You will be given seven days of protection from the natives of this world, but if you attack them without just cause, they will be free to counterattack or kill you. Be warned, death in this world means true death."
"Only strength is revered here," the voice continues. "You will be given a system to guide you and provide your character status, but keep in mind that it is only there to assist you."
