Synopsis

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer. Helped by his missing father, Ves has obtained the mysterious Mech Designer System that can help him rise in the galaxy and beyond. His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

Der Mech-Touch

Nachdem Ves das Mech-Designer-System erhalten hat, will er die besten Mechs der Galaxie erschaffen! In der fernen Zukunft hat die galaktische menschliche Zivilisation das Zeitalter der Mechs erreicht. Die zahllosen niederen Mächte der Menschheit haben sich Mechs als ihre wichtigsten Kriegswaffen zugelegt. Nur wenige Menschen haben die richtige genetische Veranlagung, um diese zerstörerischen Kriegsmaschinen von der Größe von Gebäuden zu steuern. Ves Larkinson, der aus einer Militärfamilie am Rande der Galaxis stammt, ist einer der vielen Menschen, denen das Talent fehlt, sich in der Schlacht Ruhm zu verdienen. Stattdessen wurde er Mech-Konstrukteur. Mit Hilfe seines verschwundenen Vaters ist Ves in den Besitz des geheimnisvollen Mech-Designer-Systems gelangt, mit dem er in der Galaxie und darüber hinaus aufsteigen kann. Seine Mechs, die auf den Prinzipien des Lebens basieren, ermöglichen ihm einen schnellen Aufstieg. Seine leistungsstarken und mit Mech-Piloten bestens kompatiblen Produkte haben das Potenzial, den Markt im Sturm zu erobern. Doch der Erfolg stellt sich nicht von selbst ein, und unzählige Herausforderungen erschweren es ihm, seine Mechs auf einem Markt zu verkaufen, der nach Innovationen lechzt! Während die Sünden der menschlichen Rasse in der galaktischen Arena langsam aufholen, muss Ves die Gefahren des ultrakompetitiven Mech-Marktes meistern und die Kontrolle über seine wachsende Organisation von Außenseitern behalten. Dies ist das goldene Zeitalter der Mechs. Es ist das goldene Zeitalter der Menschheit. Die Frage ist nur, ob es von Dauer sein wird.

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

The main idea is centered around the concept of a 'curse disguised as a gift'. Midas' touch, which made everything gold, was initially seen as a great power. However, it quickly became a nightmare. The story uses this extreme situation to make readers think about the balance between desires and the real value of things. For example, his new 'ability' prevented him from having normal human experiences like eating and hugging his loved ones.
