Mechborn: Rise of the Scrap King
Kassian "Kass" Rho as prince of one of the great Mech Houses, was meant to inherit a legacy.
Instead, he was cast out.
Framed and exiled by his own family, Kass wakes on the scrapyard town of Forsaken on moon Drosk-3, with nothing but ash in his lungs and rust on his hands.
Then the Blueprint Nexus activates.
An ancient design system buried amidst the junk, the Nexus learns from combat and scrap, evolving its mechs with each battle. With it, Kass builds his prototype mech: the Scraphawk.
But the Dead Zones are brutal. Rival scavengers, rogue gangs, and elite heirs like the sharp-tongued Ariella Voss prowl the wastes. And above them all looms the Interstellar Mech Expo, a galactic tournament where titans clash for glory.
Armed with junk, grit, and the Nexus’s evolving tech, Kass enters the fight. Every chapter, every win, unlocks new modules and upgrades. The underdog is rising.
He was thrown away.
Now he builds his future, one salvaged part at a time.
And if he plays it right, he won’t just survive.
He’ll rise as the Scrap King.
