When he woke up, Lü Bi transmigrated beneath a nuclear-radiation-green sky. Three months behind on his debts, he was hauled off to a black-market clinic by two burly cyborgs, who were going to cut him open and take his heart and lungs, literally.
The System arrived late, then immediately got him beaten hard enough to lose a front tooth. After barely escaping by starting a fire, he was promptly visited by the police. And the craziest part? The original owner of this body was a "source of infection" exiled by the Human Empire, a genius doctor who studied cyber viruses.
In this age of humans, cyborgs, and robots, three powers, the Human Empire, the City of Machines, and the lawless territories, jostle for influence. And he, a fake doctor with memories shattered like glass and a magic novice who can only cast fireballs, is dragged into the whirlpool of fate surrounding artificial humans and constructs.
"Sir, are you really going to stand by and let them die?"
He glanced at the elemental powers he'd just unlocked on the System panel, then at the cyborgs kneeling in front of him.
"I'll help, but it'll cost extra."
As for going home? He'd think about it later.
[The title may be plain, but that doesn't mean the story is bad.]
The novel unfolds in the second person, creating a highly immersive experience. This second-person perspective is both a unique feature and a gamble. Those who get hooked will find it incredibly addictive. In a future technological age where resources are scarce, the emergence of magic is tantamount to a massive disruption to the present world.
It's suitable for listening to audiobooks regularly. I'll try to update it as much as possible; for now, I can only read the drafts I've saved!
