National Destiny Arena: From the Start, I Find a First-Generation Mecha

The Apocalypse AI brings about the end of the world, and young adults across the globe are transported into a secret realm. Everyone gets a mecha core. They scavenge, build mechas, and rob one another. Every thirty days, the National Destiny Arena opens. Win, and the resources across the entire territory of Long Country double. Lose, and alien beasts overrun the land, leaving not a blade of grass standing.

Lu Jin is an old human who knows only how to repair machines. From the start, he finds the broken first-generation mecha Xingtian, the one machine in the entire secret realm no one else can fix. At a glance, he can see the weaknesses in every mecha, but he can’t save his own younger sister. Lu Yao lies in a life-support pod in the real world, with only forty-one days left.

The key to saving her lies in the arena. He repairs mechas and fights battle after battle to win national destiny for Long Country.

From a scrap-metal scavenger to a pillar of Long Country.

I’ll stake my life on this battle!
