Shards of Umojah

In the war-torn Umojah System, humanity clings to survival after a devastating conflict fractured the once-thriving civilization. Kai, a gifted martial artist with a mysterious past, scavenges the debris-filled wastelands for scraps of technology to barter for survival. One fateful day, he unearths a dormant Mecha frame - a colossal suit of combat armor rumored to possess immense power. But this Mecha is unlike any other; its core is infused with a strange, pulsating energy Kai recognizes as remnants of the Aion, an ancient magical source humanity abandoned after the Cataclysm. Thrust into a conspiracy far grander than he ever imagined, Kai finds himself hunted by ruthless warlords and a shadowy organization obsessed with controlling the Aion's power for their own nefarious purposes. Aided by Anya, a brilliant engineer with a troubled past, and Zaria, a stoic warrior monk wielding forbidden magic, Kai must unlock the secrets of his past and master the Mecha's true potential. Their journey takes them across the ravaged system, from the desolate scrapyards of Dustfall to the neon-drenched underbelly of Neo-Lagos, a glittering metropolis built upon the ruins of the old world.
