My Life As A Collegiate Battlecruiser

Rowan Takeda expected a quiet freshman year—maybe some sketching, maybe some girls, definitely no weapons-grade AIs. But that was before the ICS Lightning chose him. Now he's Avalon Naval Institute’s first male Captain in over a decade… and his life is a full-blown firestorm.



At Avalon, the cadets are the weapons: beautiful, brilliant, and bonded to living warships with more firepower than most nations. Rowan just wanted to keep his head down, but after crash-landing (literally) into the wrong dorm room—occupied by a half-dressed German dreadnought—he's declared a pervert, challenged to a formal duel, and suddenly has the entire academy watching his every move.



The good news? He’s got Lightning: a flirty, high-spec AI with a taste for chaos and an unhealthy interest in his love life.



The bad news? Every Captain here is armed to the teeth, emotionally volatile, and drop-dead gorgeous. And some of them are starting to take a little too much interest in the new boy with the killer instincts and the soft heart.



Explosions, duels, emotional confessions, and skin-tight sync suits—Rowan’s going to have to fight to survive, outmaneuver old rivalries, and figure out if falling in love with a battleship is more dangerous than war itself.



This is college.

This is combat.
