Embers of the Iron Heart

My name is Li Tiexin, a "rat" who makes a living by picking up garbage in the wasteland. I never thought that one day my heart would turn into a monster that could eat and recombine metal. They call me "Ember," a high-risk special infection that must be eliminated. The woman named Erica, High Wall's finest executive, chased me like a hound, vowing to "purify" me. In order to survive, I had no choice but to escape. But when my best friend shouted his last instructions to me in the flames of the explosion in order to protect me, I understood—— To run away and live only for yourself is cowardice. Now, I not only want to survive, but I also want to take the secrets he left behind to overturn that seemingly indestructible "high wall". Aren't they trying to purify me? Then let them see what it looks like when the embers... Burn into a prairie fire!
