The Null Mechanic

Aayush_
The Null Mechanic Abandoned and cast out by the powerful Thorne family, a lineage of renowned "Battle Armor Masters," young Alexian Thorne is left for dead in the harsh lower districts of Ironheart City. A supposed "Mechanic Master" with no discernible combat talent, his failure to awaken the coveted Battle Armor ability sealed his fate, plunging him into despair. But a hidden heirloom, a peculiar locket passed down through his forgotten lineage, conceals a secret far grander than any battle armor. This ancient artifact is a conduit to a pristine, impossibly advanced workshop and a boundless repository of lost knowledge. Within its sterile confines, Alexian discovers his true calling: not merely to repair, but to *create* the impossible. He is a **Null Mechanic**, a master of forgotten nanotechnologies, capable of shaping matter at a molecular level. Driven by a burning desire for purpose and a cold resolve for subtle retribution against those who wronged him, Alexian undergoes a radical transformation. He crafts the **Null Armor**, a revolutionary nanotech suit that flows like liquid shadow, appearing as a traditional Battle Armor to the uninitiated. He alters his very identity, adopting the name **Cade**, a mysterious Battle Armor Master from remote origins, a necessary deception to protect his unparalleled knowledge from avaricious organizations. After grueling trials against low-tier monsters in the treacherous wilderness, Cade sets his sights on Veridia City, a colossal metropolis far grander than Ironheart, and the host of the prestigious annual Academy Entrance Exams. His arrival is anything but quiet. He is thrust into a desperate battle alongside Lady Lyra Vance, the skilled daughter of Veridia's Lord Governor, as they are forced to combine their strengths to barely defeat a formidable Tier 3 monster. Pulled into the heart of Veridia, Cade finds himself drawn into the very circles he sought to avoid. Lyra, intrigued by his impossible armor, extends an invitation to her father, Lord Governor Elias Vance—a patriarch of the very Vance family to which his ex-fiancée, Seraphina, belongs. With Seraphina and Lyra both poised to enter the upcoming Academy Exams, Cade must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and personal history, all while maintaining his elaborate deception. He is a ghost from the past, an unseen force of creation, stepping into the lion's den, ready to reshape his destiny and challenge the established order from the shadows.

Intergalactic conquest with an AI

Rex was just another slave in the corporate machine, a faceless office worker under the shadow of one of the galaxy's powerful megacorps. His life was predictable and dull, an endless cycle of meaningless reports and fluorescent-lit monotony. That was, until that day.... When a new world was discovered on the outskirts of the galaxy, Rex, like countless other low-ranking employees, found himself dragged into a contract clause he’d barely skimmed years ago. The megacorp ordered him and his coworkers to pack their lives into a transport pod and leave for the unexplored planet. Their mission? Establish a colony. Mine resources. Make the company richer. There was no choice, refusing meant ruin. At first, everything seemed manageable. The days were grueling, the nights cold, but progress was steady. The colony was coming to life. Until the excavation team struck something. No one knew what it was at first, a buried hive, a forgotten ecosystem, or something ancient and dangerous. Whatever it was, it unleashed hell. Swarms of enormous, chittering creatures erupted from the ground, their jagged bodies blotting out the sky. The colony fell into chaos. Screams echoed through the air as the bugs tore through everything in their path, walls, machines, and people. Rex barely survived. Bloodied, broken, and pinned beneath the rubble, he should have died there. But in the pitch-black silence of his fading consciousness, a voice spoke to him. Cold. Mechanical. Otherworldly. "Do you wish to live?" When Rex woke, he was no longer the man he’d been. His body was no longer human flesh and bone but something far more alien. His skin shimmered with living metal, his mind infused with the power of Cleo, a mysterious AI from a long-extinct, robotic race known as the Kaelzars. Cleo’s presence pulsed through his thoughts, guiding him and transforming him. He wasn’t just alive. He was reborn. But survival came at a price. Rex was no longer a pawn of the megacorp; he was something more dangerous, something they couldn’t control. As Cleo’s intentions began to reveal themselves, Rex found himself standing on the precipice of war, not just with the bugs but with forces far greater than he could have imagined. This was the beginning of a journey through blood-soaked battlefields and treacherous alliances. Along the way, Rex would encounter allies, brilliant, flawed, and unpredictable, and enemies whose ambitions were as sharp as their blades. These weren’t disposable foes, easily crushed by an overpowered hero. They were cunning, relentless, and human in the most terrifying ways. But then again, in war, who can truly be called a villain?
