Starship System Iconoclast
When Tala Amihan Sisson was abducted by an alien starship, she didn't expect to be taken to an entirely different universe. A universe where the magic system is far more advanced than swords and sorcery. Finding herself at the edge of an unknown galaxy, Tala will need to use her wits and determination to level up both herself and her companion, the mysterious starship Vector Free, a one-of-a-kind vessel created by the humans of her new universe. But where is humanity? Why does Tala's presence inspire so much fear and hatred? And why are there so many governments, corporations, and bounty hunters after her ship? If one thing is certain though, Tala isn't about to give up her ship without a fight.
