Star Oath

The planet Al was once the pearl of the Milky Way, but fell into the abyss after humans over-extracted the energy of the earth's core - the earth's core transformed into a "dark core" that devoured life, infected people turned into mechanical beasts, and civilization collapsed in bloody smoke. Kyle, a seventeen-year-old survivor, accidentally awakens the power of the Star Core due to a fatal attack. This legendary holy object that can purify all things pushed him to a more cruel truth: his father was the previous guardian, and he was voluntarily swallowed by the dark core to find a way to solve it; Elena, the mentor who guided him, was actually a living weapon that relied on the star core to delay mechanical alienation; and he himself was the only "key" that could end this cycle.
