In 2140 AD, a nano-fungus called "Red Rust" devoured the world. Metal rotted, buildings collapsed, and the steel jungle that human civilization was proud of turned into red sand overnight. In this era when even a intact dagger was a luxury item, the survivors had degenerated into a barbaric situation where stone tools and bone tools were used together.
Shen Ji, an old-era antique restorer suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, accidentally woke up from the freezer. He discovered that not only was he not dead, but a mysterious "source core" was fused to his right hand. Any wreckage he touches can reverse entropy and rebuild glory from decay.
Others were snatching a piece of rusty iron sheet from the ruins, and with a casual touch, he transformed a pile of scrap metal into a fully automatic assault rifle;
While others were trembling to avoid mutant beasts, he repaired a heavy-armored RV and brewed coffee and listened to vinyl records in the wilderness;
When the major forces were fighting for the heritage of the old era, Shen Ji was standing on the floating battleship he had repaired himself, overlooking the devastated land.
"I'm not a savior, I just can't stand how broken this world is."
