In the rusty iron zone of the ruined world, a low-level scavenger, A Chen, struggles to find supplies for his sick sister A Yue every day in the huge mountains of rubbish. Once, he accidentally obtained the mysterious black cube "Source Core", which was integrated into his body when he was bullied by the neighborhood bully Iron Tou and was on the verge of despair.
The fusion of the source core allowed Ah Chen to awaken his "analytical" ability, which allowed him to sense metal energy and understand the structure of objects. He used this to defeat Iron Tou, and his destiny changed from then on. The emergence of the source core also accidentally touched the wreckage of a thousand-year starship deep in the garbage mountain. As Ah Chen explores the power of the source core, he will gradually uncover the secrets of the Ruins Realm, transforming from an ant who can be bullied by others to a strong man who controls his own destiny, starting a fantasy journey full of unknowns and challenges.
