Ren is an insignificant "inorganic soul" civilian on the junk planet "Shattered Star". He was judged to have no future by the galactic plutocrats since he was born. His daily life is to dig through the rusted wreckage, living with danger and poverty. His biggest dream is just to repair the old engineering mecha. Until he discovered a crashed advanced military reconnaissance mecha code-named "Iron Crow" while scavenging. The shimmering light in the wreckage reflected not only the opportunity to change his destiny, but also the fatal crisis that could drag him into the abyss. The chaebol's secret police, the greedy interstellar bullies, the mysterious out-of-control AI... All forces swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.
Not a bad story.
