Jurassic Code

On the cybernetic colony of Ark, orbiting an ice giant, Lu Chen works at the bottom of society as a waste-processing laborer. One day, he stumbles across an ancient neural chip in dinosaur dung. The chip lets him synchronize deeply with mechanical dinosaurs, opening the door to the Dragon Rider Championship, a competition monopolized by the upper class. Rising from the filthiest scrapyard, he shocks the crowd with a dragon he rebuilt from junk. But he gradually discovers that behind the seemingly glorious competition lie a conspiracy to rig the matches, forbidden human experiments, and a colossal lie shrouding the entire colony: their Jurassic world is nothing more than a gigantic ecological vessel drifting through deep space, and human civilization has long since perished. When the truth comes to light, Lu Chen must choose: cling to a beautiful illusion and live on, or pilot the last mechanical dragon rider and charge into the dark stars.
