Rustborn

Steel prays, and flesh and blood rust. We are the last remnants of a civilization in its twilight.

On this wasteland reshaped by a mechanical plague, survivors struggle to stay alive beneath the shadow of megacorporations. Zhou Xi has gone from a scavenger as insignificant as dust to a mercenary who walks the line between rules. With his uncanny perception, he makes a living among ruins and high-stakes gambles.

An expedition deep into a forbidden city leads him to touch a history that should never have existed. A cold gaze brands a countdown into his mind, and liquid metal turns into a blade in his hand.

From then on, a vortex of floating inner cities, mechanical god-corpses, and conspiracies among the three great conglomerates swallows him whole. In his own way, he will delve to the deepest level of this world's silent ruins, forging the one and only returning blade with experience as his fire and truth as his mold.
