[Mecha + System + reborn + countdown + multiple female leads]
Leon spent eleven years removing thorns from the dead.
Mecha, electrodes, neural interfaces: the whole world called it a miracle. Only he knew that every time the thing was activated, it killed someone.
He was the only son of a duke in the Papal State. When he was fifteen, they discovered he had violet eyes, and his father traded an empty grave for his life. From then on, a thorn-remover appeared in the graveyard, and a “sacred relic grave robber” appeared on the wanted posters.
Eleven years later, he pulled a Valkyrie wielding a Spear of Judgment out of the sky, and a busted System that only recognized ember points appeared in his head:

Leon stared at the line of bloody red text and smiled. “Fine. At least the price is clear.”
The Pope wanted his violet eyes, the bishop wanted his life, the black market wanted his skills, and the Listening Pavilion wanted him.
“Get in line.” The master of the graveyard polished his gun. “I’m bringing my sister home first.”
