[Recap]
Lin Yeheng, a young scavenger surviving in the wastelands, successfully activated the forbidden human war machine — RAGNAROK 01.
He wasn't a soldier, wasn't a genius, yet he embedded every scrap part he had collected into this god of war's frame, driven by a single belief:
> "I will fix it with my own hands — and smash this decaying world to pieces."
Now, his signal has been detected.

[1]Alarm in the Sky Citadel
"Unauthorized weapon detected — Code: R-01."
"Signal source located in Outer Wasteland — Thirteenth Recovery Belt."
"Pilot identity abnormal. No military ID, no warrior certification, no implanted neural profile."
"Current status: Scavenger."
Above the Central Skydome Legion Command, emergency red lights flashed.
In the cold-toned metallic hall, a row of officers clad in neural combat suits stood frozen.
They stared at the scrolling alert:
> "R-Class War Machine Activation Confirmed — Forced Intervention Authorized."
"Deploy Mecha Squad 'Silver Fang,' Priority S. Immediate annihilation."

[2]R-01 Awakens: Step One, Walk
Rumble…
The massive spinal frame shifted, gears grinding with a piercing roar. The godlike war mech, buried in dust for ten years, slowly raised its foot.
Lin Yeheng sat in the control seat, hands gripping the rusted control levers tightly, eyes bloodshot.
The entire R-01 was in a semi-ruined state —
Reactor core only at 30% capacity;
Weapon system down to a single heavy-arm cannon — with zero ammunition;
Monitor screens glitching; neural link painfully delayed.
He was practically piloting a "corpse."
Yet he smiled.
"At least… you can move."
He manually accessed the temporary comm system, cranked the signal to maximum power, and broadcast his voice across the entire wasteland recovery zone:
> "I am Lin Yeheng, temporary pilot of R-01."
> "If you don't want to be crushed — leave this wasteland now."

[3]Enemy Appears: Silver Fang Mecha Squad
Just as Lin Yeheng's voice faded, the sky tore open with a light curtain.
Five fully-armed silver mechs pierced through the clouds, descending in a precise "pyramid battle formation," swiftly closing in.
Silver Fang Squad — each unit a certified C-class or higher official military mecha:
High-speed glide wings
Missile backpacks
Laser swords
Tactical AI coordination system
Their leader, Silver Fang Unit 0, sneered:
> "A scavenger? So what if you activated R-01?"
> "You're piloting a corpse. We — are real warriors."
They activated Electronic Suppression Field, attempting to block R-01's command transmission frequencies.
But Lin Yeheng was faster.
With a fierce shout, he slammed down the locked right-side control lever!
— Manual Surge Mode: Forced Unlock!
Mechanical gears engaged by brute force. The right-arm thruster roared to life!
R-01's heavy cannon arm swung upward. The ammo chamber was empty, but Lin Yeheng was prepared:
> "Old friend, you don't need ammunition."
He forcibly routed high-voltage energy conduits into the firing chamber, using an electromagnetic saw blade salvaged from scrap as the projectile substitute.
> "— Blow it up!"
BOOM!!!
A blazing white energy beam erupted from R-01's arm, slicing through the sky and striking the left-wing unit dead on!
[Silver Fang Unit 3 — Destroyed]
[AI link — Terminated]
The explosion's shockwave engulfed the battlefield.
Silver Fang Unit 0's face twisted: "What?! He modified the firing system?!"

[4]Mecha Melee: Breaking Military Protocol
The remaining four units launched a barrage of missiles. Under the skydome, it rained fire.
Lin Yeheng growled: "Shut up, war god. Let's go."
He didn't use auto-evasion —
He charged straight into the missile storm!
Boom!
R-01's shoulder armor shattered, outer casing peeled away — but the shockwave launched it forward.
In a flash, it seized enemy C-1 Unit's head with one hand!
The mechanical arm shook violently. Lin Yeheng clenched his teeth, forcing neural command input:
> "— Crush it!"
CRACK!!
The enemy's head collapsed under R-01's ruined arm like a tin can crushed by a giant.
[Silver Fang C-1 — Deactivated]
---
[5]Aftermath: First Victory, First Wanted Order
Ten minutes later, silence fell over the battlefield.
Five Silver Fang units — annihilated.
Lin Yeheng stood with his battered R-01 amid the scorched ruins, a towering titan that refused to sleep after war.
The Central Command Tower fell into stunned silence.
"This is impossible… He has no official neural implants, not even AI support! How did he win?!"
But one commander simply said:
> "R-01 is not a weapon.
It is a vessel of will."
Thus—
[EMERGENCY WANTED ORDER ISSUED]
> Name: Lin Yeheng
Occupation: Scavenger
Danger Level: S
Charges: Unauthorized activation of a forbidden weapon, destruction of official military mechs, and conduct of military rebellion.
He became the "enemy" of the entire refuge city.
But also —
the first symbol of hope for those living at the bottom.
