Wang Yuan, a scavenger at a junkyard on a star in the Northern Frontier, is corrupted by abyssal energy while saving an orphan. He awakens Quantum Perception, gaining the ability to hear mechs breathe and sense his enemies’ killing intent before they strike. He takes a scrapped mech and turns the tables on a local bully, only to find himself hunted by both the military and the insectoid race. From cannon fodder to legend, he leads a band of abandoned brothers through the gap between the abyss and humanity, fighting their way toward an impossible future.
