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.

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!

Strategic MC • Kingdom Building • Divine System • Ruthless Protagonist • Empire Growth The world of Theos Online was a battlefield of gods. Players built civilizations, shaped faith, and waged divine wars for supremacy. At the top stood Zephyr — Rank One. Untouchable. Calculating. Ruthless. He didn’t just win. He engineered inevitability. But in the real world, anonymity is fragile. When his identity is exposed, a coordinated smear campaign tears his life apart, stripping him of reputation, future, and finally — breath. Death was supposed to be the end. Instead, he awakens in another world. Different sky. Different history. Same Divine System. The rules that governed Theos Online now govern reality itself. While others pray to survive, Zephyr understands the code beneath the gods. He knows the exploits. The hidden mechanics. The logic no one else sees. He may not know this world’s past. But he knows exactly how to conquer its future. From a starving village to a rising divine empire, Zephyr will bend faith into machinery, turn belief into power, and reduce rival gods to footnotes in history. The game is gone. The system remains. And this time, there are no respawns.

Emperor Cassian crowns his eldest son and scatters the rest — a twin sister denied her birthright, channeled toward sainthood she intends to weaponize. An illegitimate son sent south carrying a name he was never given. A ten-year-old youngest prince handed to the empire's most feared man, who sees something terrifying sleeping behind the boy's laughter. Four siblings. Four corners of an empire. One throne that will demand blood from all of them. And in the south, a war nobody will name is already beginning. Discord - https://discord.gg/Pa5g4AXc6

They're all loyal when you talk about it, but when you ask, they won't go! Now, the Emperor's favor has still descended upon this 21st-century fragile bull 'Sith,' who has been conscripted by the God-Emperor into a local PDF (Plane Defense Force). Fortunately, our protagonist awakening system allows Sith to receive a hundredfold positive feedback no matter what he does, as long as he personally participates. I thought this system was just so-so, but I never expected it to be a TM concept technology! Therefore, when the Sith led his soldiers in one battle, it was equivalent to fighting a hundred battles, and fighting a hundred battles was equivalent to fighting ten thousand battles. After an apocalypse, a group of veterans of countless battles were directly acquired, and various conceptual types emerged one after another. So much so that in the end, not only did God-Emperor snatch him away, but the Four Gods also snatched him away, and even Goma insisted that the protagonist was their most Waaagh kid, and that the Sith should lead the green-skinned Waaagh, renamed 'Sith Kid,' to overturn the entire galaxy. But as the Sith, blessed by the Seven Gods, continued to fight across this messed-up galaxy, it wasn't until many years later that the Sith suddenly realized he had a hundredfold positive feedback loop... Why were the Four Symbols also corrected?
