Myriad Machinery Artisan

In the Waste Machinery Workshop of Grey Furnace City, Lu Heng is nothing but the lowest-level dismantler. His father left behind a debt note of 320 grey coins, with interest of 7 coins due every seven days. Fail to pay, and the house is sealed; fail again, and he'll be thrown into the beast-fighting pit to pay off the debt. He has no family, no master, not even money for proper cultivation. Until the long-dormant Atlas awakens in his mind. Scrap machinery boards that others dismiss, he can repair into full-rune old boards. Low-grade materials that others follow blueprints to make, he can see new processing methods. Rat teeth, crushed bones, tendon glue that others deem useless, in his hands become real blood-drawing first-rank weapons. From the waste workshop to the original machinery guild, from the beast-fighting pit to the battlefield, from a small auxiliary tool to true myriad machinery combat gear. Lu Heng will use his own hands to rebuild this city, this world, anew.
