Technomancer: A Magical Girl's Sidekick [Post-Apocalyptic][Mecha][Magical Girls]

Twelve years ago, the sky cracked open and the world ended.But during Earth’s darkest hour, the unlikely estimate of saviors arrived.Legions of magical girls and mechs straight out of fiction descended to answer cries for salvation. The Terrans pushed back the Aberrations, saving Earth from extinction. But the War left it a landscape of slow, crumbling rot.For young Ikazuchi, the "victory" is just a daily struggle of dangerous salvage runs to keep his younger sister fed, and his father’s crew afloat. While the Terrans offer what help they can, Earth is a graveyard of nations as far as he concerned. Ikki is a scavenger by trade, but a scholar and young machinist by heart.To protect his younger sister from a life of "dangerous odd jobs," he fought for a scholarship that would take him to the magitech academies of Terra. He just needed one last score to pay for the move. But on his final job, the ruins struck back. When the job ends with his father and their men hauled away in slave chains, Ikki manages a narrow escape into the desolate ruins. Alone on an abandoned highway, he finds something that shouldn't exist: a briefcase too sleek and too pristine for a dying world.Inside sits a sentient construct more advanced than any magitech he’s ever studied. Something that strangely, addresses him by name. “I’ve been waiting for you… Ikazuchi.” What to expect:- A near-future cyberpunk setting with: Real Robots Mecha. Magitech. Frilly magical girls. Urban fantasy.- A 'weak' but useful protagonist.-The usual horrifying extradimensional monsters associated with RR's Magical Girl subgenre. -Lite LitRPG elements in the form of a tactical HUD and resource management apparatus that serves the plot.
