"Xavier Grant's brother, Zane, steals his SSS-class mecha core, determined to become the world's hero. Little does he know that the core is actually bait, designed to lure in a catastrophic threat. Xavier turns the tables, choosing the F-class mecha that everyone mocks before being exiled to the Wasteland. There, he joins forces with three other outcasts who have been abandoned by society. Armed with the hidden treasure that has been severely underestimated, the four rise from the bottom to build the strongest team in the galaxy. When disaster sweeps across the Capitol, Zane is pushed to the brink, while his hypocritical family comes crashing down."

Silas Thorne has seen enough lives destroyed by gambling to dedicate his entire existence to ending it. He beats Lady Sparrow, the Titan, the Ace one by one, talks them all into walking away, and disappears with them into quiet retirement as a foot massage therapist. It holds, until it doesn’t. His sister-in-law is drowning in gambling debt, and the underground world he walked away from is the only place that can save her. He goes back in disguise, looking every bit the scruffy laborer, and proceeds to dismantle the underground gambling scene from the inside out. The legend they forgot to fear just walked back through the door.
