[Mecha Maiden Era] [Punishing: Gray Raven Fanfic], borrows characters, but not the original world setting
After the "Blood Rift" incident, several million people vanished from the city. I escaped from the encirclement, but was wanted for having glimpsed information about certain taboos. My original Mecha Maiden, Alpha, was also missing, her fate unknown. Once a top-ten finisher in the original Mecha Tournament and hailed as the youngest Abyssal Spirit-level genius, I am now nothing more than a wanted criminal.
"Is anyone still alive?"
"Are you a combat Mecha Maiden?"
"Don't come any closer."
"I'm completely out of control right now."
"I could self-destruct at any moment."
"You were fighting just now."
"Yes."
"Now that the fight is over, do you want to disappear?"
"Mm."
"I think... you're a lot like me... Neither of us has anything anchoring us to this world..."
"So... would you be willing to come with me?"
…
My name is Ling Li.
Ling as in the wee hours, Li as in dawn.
