[High Martial]+ [Play the Pig to Eat the Tiger]+ [Mecha Combat]+ [Jack of All Trades]
Su Yan is universally known across the Federation as a useless nobody.
His martial arts rank is rock bottom, his vital energy score is 6.2, and his training grade is F-. He can’t even control the most basic civilian exoskeleton, blowing up three a month. The whole internet treats him as a joke.
The Qingyue Martial Arts Hall has a defense policy: during wartime, the weakest person stands at the front. So whenever a beast tide attacks the city, he’s the first one shoved onto the front line. His fellow disciples pity him, netizens mock the hall for sending him to his death, and foreign enemies laugh, thinking they’ve found an easy target.
Nobody knows that Su Yan died three months ago. He was killed on the front lines during a beast tide, stabbed in the back. The culprit was never found. The case was classified as a battlefield death and hastily closed.
Nobody knows who the person alive now really is, either. He’s a mechanic who crawled out of the wasteland, taken Su Yan’s name and inherited his mess, and now wears the keepsake left behind by Su Yan’s only friend: a silver ring.
He thought this was how his life would go. Avenge the original owner, live for himself, and collect every debt the Su family owed, one by one.
But the beast tides keep coming, foreign mechanized legions are massing at the Federation’s borders, and undercurrents swirl among the Federation’s leaders. Little by little, he discovers that the original owner’s mother didn’t die by accident, the truth behind the defense policy is far more sinister than he imagined, and the nanocore hidden in the keepsake is pulling him into an even bigger game.
Everyone is waiting for him to die.
He’s determined to live, just to show them all.
