‘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.

It was a Saturday morning in the containment perimeter.


For the 5th day in a row, Leon was the spearhead of the Freegrid Army in the containment perimeter as with the obliterating power of the Bulwark MK.II Titan Frame's primary weapons, he culled the worst of the Neon Beasts.


Within the past 5 days, he already slaughtered thousands of Neon Beasts with the most prominent of them being 2 D Rank Neon Beasts, getting a total of +147 Ascended Essence for both in the process.


Leon was still in the West and was yet to leave the territory of the Freegrid Collective, yet he was already 1/4th of the way towards meeting the goal of challenging his 3rd Ascended Trial.
