Star Ocean: Containing Aberrations, Starting in Prison

Xiang Yi transmigrated to a prison on an asteroid within the Human Federation. For reasons unknown, he was burdened with the Federation's gravest charge: crimes against humanity. He should have been worked to death while mining the asteroid's resources. But in the midst of despair, he discovered that the prison was raising fantastical entities, creatures seemingly found only in fiction, by feeding them living prisoners. Others were committing crimes against humanity, yet he was the one branded a criminal and reduced to a convict. His anger led him to take his first step on the path of psychic powers: awakening. Yet in this world filled with mysterious fantastical entities, he had the ability to control machines. Just as Xiang Yi was sinking into despair, he discovered that his powers could fuse the abilities of any fantastical entity with machinery. The flesh-devouring [Blood Crystal Maggot] combined with a mining laser gun could turn any flesh it hit into blood-red crystal. The [Invisible Monster], undetectable by any technology, combined with powered armor could form a completely invisible suit. The [Necromantic Dust], which revived corpses, combined with a radioactive bomb could revive countless fallen soldiers on a meat-grinder battlefield. The star-devouring behemoth [Star Eater], combined with the wreckage of a Titan battleship, could harness a star as the ship's engine and power source. And the scales of [Aether], the dragon that survived the Big Bang, along with a probe that explored the black hole's eternal horizon... All Xiang Yi had to do was extract the [material] from a fantastical entity, and he could wield its power. He had great prospects in this world, provided... he could first make it out of this prison alive.
