‘Ah shit, is this… Earth?’

In the far future, humanity has collapsed beneath the weight of its own technology.

Megacities rose, AIs became rulers, and biological evolution was rewritten through genetic design. 

The world changed. Instead of humans, there are Synths, Geneforms, and AI Constructs. And instead of meow meow and woof woof, there are Neon Beasts- beasts mutated by the corruption of ADE.

Leon Ardent, an assistant temporal engineer for SpaceX woke up in this strange dystopian world with neon skylines and aurora-like storms.

One question lingered. ‘Where… am I?’

DING!

Well, things do escalate fast.

Just like that, Leon was thrown into a cyberpunk world with weird skies, weird ecosystem, a weirder system, and with fragmented memories of his past.

Only one thing gave him hope, his expertise as an engineer.

“If I can build, I can live”.

[Author’s NOTE: It’s October 31st in Shibuya, and history records it that this book starts today. All I can say is give it a try. I won’t make promises, just know that I’m giving this my all, and I’ll appreciate any form of support. Thanks.]

*This book will be written in 3rd person POV. If you have any queries, you can comment at the bottom of each chapter. I’ll try my best to read comments every day, and reply to them if there are queries. 

*I’ll try my best to thoroughly proofread every chapter and avoid any mistakes, no matter how small, but if you see one don’t hesitate to point it out.

*I’m not expecting them, but an author can hope. So, any super gift will supercharge me to write more, and I’ll give a 5 chapter mass release for any super gift in appreciation. Lastly, happy reading.

"Finally". Leon muttered with a satisfied expression on his face as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his work of art.


Compared to 2 weeks ago when he just awakened inside the derelict SpaceX facility, this underground facility could no longer be described as derelict.


Now, it was not just a facility but a true shelter, a fortress.


Within the past week since becoming an E Rank Neo Mechanist, Leon didn't leave as he stayed holed up inside the underground facility, determined to make the most of the large scrapyard around him.
