In the year 1794 of the Shenzhou calendar, Chen Jiu raised an uprising and overthrew the barbarian dynasty.
Westerners brought their mechs to the gates, and Shenzhou became a colony.
“As long as Shenzhou endures, my soul will never die!”
The rebel leader Chen Jiu met his death with fierce resolve.
After a century of silence, he was reborn as Chen Qi, a miner at the very bottom of society.
Now his backbone is reforged, and the fires of rust burn anew!
Armed with nothing but his rusted bones and ancient rust energy, how will he fight against the Westerners’ rune-powered machines, developed over the past hundred years?
Will he once again charge like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or set off a prairie fire?
How can a mortal body stand against a mech?
The embers flare up again. He walks the road of revolution once more!
Western mechs carve up the land, their alien blades shattering the old capital with icy light.
The earth’s veins kindle embers in his broken body; the chains of two souls forge bones of rust!
Hear me tell this passionate tale to its end!
The writing is pretty good, keep it up!
