Endlessly roaming through the Space, an alien fleet is closing to a blue planet. Its inhabitants, blissfully unaware of the upcoming threat, are struggling with the chaos they have to face everyday. And yet, it will all soon change. The world will finally become united against a common enemy. The Earth will never be the same anymore. But what will this war bring? Do the humans stand any chance against such a foe? Will everyone willingly join to fight the alien thread? And why, do the aliens seem to look so human-like?...
There is a rumor among soldiers, a rumor of a monstrosity that once plowed through an entire army alone. Ignoring heavy cannonfire, slicing endless enemies with its giant claws, dominating entire battlefield with its mere presence. Those few that survived talking about an unstoppable, screaming horror, feeding on their fear itself.
As if a soldier's worst fear, hopelessness and inevitability of defeat, came alive in a form of a hulking monster.
A Surmount.
Little do they know that the rumor is actually true. Or maybe they just don't want to know. Because, if there would be more of them, would they still fight, knowing that one day, they might face one of these?
