The Soulbinder of Stars

In a universe ruled by the sacred bond between pilot and mech, she is a 'Null'—a girl from the galactic slums with zero connection, worth less than scrap. But she wields a forbidden power: the ability to hear the ghosts in the machine and awaken the souls of discarded steel. To survive, she must infiltrate a high-stakes tournament, transforming a band of outcasts and their patchwork mechs into legends. Her path is blocked by the system's golden boy, an untouchable prodigy whose orderly soul is irrevocably drawn to her chaos. Their rivalry ignites a fated connection that threatens to unravel a dark conspiracy at the heart of their civilization. To claim her destiny, she must embrace the power that makes her an anomaly and redefine the bond between human and machine forever.
