She awakens on an alien planet with no memory of her arrival. She has no name, no past, and a body that machines have torn aparted while she was unconscious, with no understanding of why. and reconstruct The world operates through a System that assigns everyone a class. Soldiers. Fighters. Killers. She's assigned as an Engineer, Level 0; she has no weapons or strength, and the System deliberately kept her class locked from the beginning, almost as if it wanted her dead. But she's adapting, learning to transform scraps and broken machines into tools that sustain her life, growing stronger with each fight and revealing something new with every evolution. She needs answers, who she was before this, why she's here, how to leave this planet, and a mission hidden in her fractured memory. But none of that matters unless she survives long enough to recall it. This is a slow-burn progression story. Nothing is given. Everything is earned.
