Starborne Engineer: I Turned a Black Hole into My Forge
Ronan Black had nothing.
Seventeen credits to his name. A hab-unit on a dying mining colony that wanted him evicted. A diploma from a prestigious propulsion engineering institute, now repurposed as a heat shield. Fifteen years of rejected designs, broken patents, and the slow, grinding death of genius buried under debt.
When the System integrated his reality, it scanned his mind and found one thing worth salvaging: Gravitational Theory, Mastery.
It assigned him a Legacy that had killed every previous bearer.
Ronan said yes.
Teleported into a collapsing stellar nursery with seventy-two hours before a newborn black hole consumes everything, he receives no tutorials, no beginner quests, and no mercy. His only resources are a toolbag, a half-finished prototype core that theoretically folds gravity, and the stubborn refusal to die ordinary.
While other tutorial survivors fight goblins and learn sword skills, Ronan does something no one in galactic history has attempted. He listens to the singularity's resonance. He reverse-engineers its structure. He builds a containment reactor from scraps and desperation, stabilizes the impossible, and forges a black hole into his personal creation engine.
The System has no classification for what he becomes.
But the singularity held a secret older than the System itself. A primordial entity slept inside the black hole's heart, a star goddess who had waited eons for a voice to wake her. His voice. His mind. His defiant, grease-stained hands shaping the fabric of spacetime.
Her name is Sollara. She calls him My Smith.
Her love is not human. It is gravitational. Absolute. If a fleet threatens Ronan, she unmakes it. If a civilization insults him, it burns. If an ally gets too close, they vanish. She is the most powerful being in the known universe, and she has decided Ronan Black belongs to her.
Now Ronan must navigate a galaxy that wants his technology, System Administrators who view him as a cosmic error, Astral Baronies that send armadas to seize his Forge, and a yandere goddess whose affection could annihilate star systems.
Building a black hole forge was only the beginning.
Surviving the woman inside it will take everything he has.
