Scrapper's Ascent: Building a Fleet from Cosmic Junk

Branded the academy's biggest failure, Ren graduates with nothing but shame—until a mysterious system awakens, turning galactic trash into treasure. While elite pilots command cutting-edge warships, Ren's first flagship is a rusted hulk salvaged from a scrapyard. But what others see as junk, his system transforms into devastating power. With a ragtag crew of misfits—a enigmatic girl, a motor-mouthed hacker, a deadly silent sniper, and a genius engineer—Ren forms the Junk King mercenary group. Across the lawless star sea, they'll prove that one person's scrap is another's empire.
