The Null Mechanic



Abandoned and cast out by the powerful Thorne family, a lineage of renowned "Battle Armor Masters," young Alexian Thorne is left for dead in the harsh lower districts of Ironheart City. A supposed "Mechanic Master" with no discernible combat talent, his failure to awaken the coveted Battle Armor ability sealed his fate, plunging him into despair.



But a hidden heirloom, a peculiar locket passed down through his forgotten lineage, conceals a secret far grander than any battle armor. This ancient artifact is a conduit to a pristine, impossibly advanced workshop and a boundless repository of lost knowledge. Within its sterile confines, Alexian discovers his true calling: not merely to repair, but to *create* the impossible. He is a **Null Mechanic**, a master of forgotten nanotechnologies, capable of shaping matter at a molecular level.



Driven by a burning desire for purpose and a cold resolve for subtle retribution against those who wronged him, Alexian undergoes a radical transformation. He crafts the **Null Armor**, a revolutionary nanotech suit that flows like liquid shadow, appearing as a traditional Battle Armor to the uninitiated. He alters his very identity, adopting the name **Cade**, a mysterious Battle Armor Master from remote origins, a necessary deception to protect his unparalleled knowledge from avaricious organizations.



After grueling trials against low-tier monsters in the treacherous wilderness, Cade sets his sights on Veridia City, a colossal metropolis far grander than Ironheart, and the host of the prestigious annual Academy Entrance Exams. His arrival is anything but quiet. He is thrust into a desperate battle alongside Lady Lyra Vance, the skilled daughter of Veridia's Lord Governor, as they are forced to combine their strengths to barely defeat a formidable Tier 3 monster.



Pulled into the heart of Veridia, Cade finds himself drawn into the very circles he sought to avoid. Lyra, intrigued by his impossible armor, extends an invitation to her father, Lord Governor Elias Vance—a patriarch of the very Vance family to which his ex-fiancée, Seraphina, belongs. With Seraphina and Lyra both poised to enter the upcoming Academy Exams, Cade must navigate a treacherous landscape of political intrigue and personal history, all while maintaining his elaborate deception. He is a ghost from the past, an unseen force of creation, stepping into the lion's den, ready to reshape his destiny and challenge the established order from the shadows.
