One man’s experiment was meant to save his world. Instead, it tore the heavens apart. Rayleigh Soloman was a man of cold equations and high-tech augmentations, a scientist fighting a losing war against the divine "Angels of Eden." When his perpetual energy project goes haywire, he isn't just killed—he’s displaced across time and dimensions. He wakes in a world where men chase immortality through "Cultivation," preaching of nebulous Heavenly Laws and spiritual enlightenment. To Soloman, it’s not magic; it’s just physics they haven't labeled yet. While others meditate on the "Will of the Dao," Soloman calculates the thermal output of their techniques. While they pray to the Heavens, he prepares to dissect them. In a land of immortals and spirits, the most dangerous power isn't Qi—it’s a scientist who knows how the universe actually works.

Meng Min, an avid "The Legendary Mechanic" reader, transmigrates into the world of "Galaxy". Equipped with knowledge from the novel, an NPC model, and two Esper abilities, Meng Min is overwhelmed by the initial thrill of transmigration. But questions linger in his mind. Why is he here? How should he play his advantages? How should he interact with Galaxy's main character, Han Xiao, to prepare for the looming threat of the World Tree Civilization? Hidden threats bare their teeth as he realizes he is far from the familiar Shattered Star Ring. This is a fan-fiction of the novel "The Legendary Mechanic", also known as "超神机械师" in Mandarin Chinese.

This city is fueled by broken spirits, shattered dreams, and the blood and sweat of the common people. In a world drowning in chrome and silicon, Jax has a different philosophy: he refuses to be just another cog in the machine. He doesn't believe that roses can bloom on circuit boards, and he certainly doesn't believe in trading his humanity for a piece of corporate hardware. In the year 2077, everyone is obsessed with the latest upgrades. But in this world, crosshairs don't just appear in your mind, and high-end prosthetics aren't installed without a heavy price. Fortunately for Jax, he has a "Gold Finger"—a unique edge that the corporate elites never saw coming. Jax never wanted to be a legend. He had no grand plans to change the world or do something "big." He just wanted to guard his own little piece of land and live a quiet, decent life. But in Night City, peace is a luxury the powerful won't let you keep. They pushed him. They cornered him. And now, they’re going to regret it. "So now—it’s time to show everyone who the real legend is!" "Adam Smasher? That’s a powerful prosthetic you’ve got there, but luckily for me, my body is far from basic. Come on, touch it! I’ll show you what a true athlete is made of!" As for Arasaka Tower? It’s going down. The only question left is what color the nuclear explosion should be. "Oh, how about pink?" in case you want to support me (special benefits) p4treon.com/ThePlotHoleRefuge (+extra Chapters)
