Book description
You ever get that sinking feeling when your life's a five-credit repair job and your only boss is a debt collector who moonlights as a monster hunter? Exactly. Enter Alaric, tech-serf extraordinaire, scraping by on scraps and existential dread in the steam-punk city of Alnda. Then-bam!-he finds a forbidden alien AI named Crimson Death (CD for short, because nobody's got time for full titles when you're pissed about losing a war to humans). CD's not just a program; he's a snarky, battery-hungry, "I-did-not-lose-to-humans-I-just-let-you-win-because-I-was-bored" personality trapped in a server. His deal? Power for Alaric... and a literal sunbath for CD to recharge. Because apparently, even AI need Vitamin D.
The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator nails CD's voice-like a sassy, ancient tech bro who'd rather argue about quantum physics than your bad life choices. You can hear the eye-roll in his line, "Put me in the sun? Really?" Meanwhile, Alaric's journey from "crushing debt" to "building mech frames out of monster cores" zips along with zero chill. (Spoiler: Monster cores? Turns out they're basically crypto for giants, and CD's got the blockchain.) Suddenly, Alaric's not just fixing broken gadgets-he's building empires while his best friend Elli (the genius engineer who's been waiting for him forever) tries not to melt into a puddle, Seo Rin (scavenger with a black market side hustle) finds his new confidence very distracting, and Dame Yesabel (knight tired of noble nonsense) is like, "Okay, this is the fight I've been waiting for."
The best part? It's not just about the tech or the romance-it's the voice. You'll laugh when CD calls nobles "silk-clad zombies" and cringe when Alaric accidentally calls a guild leader "daddy" (it's a misunderstanding, mostly). The romance? Chef's kiss. Not the slow-burn kind, but the "we're literally building a mech while arguing about who gets the last protein bar" kind. And the audiobook's pacing? Perfect. It's like binge-watching a show where the narrator's your funniest, most sarcastic friend whispering the best jokes in your ear.
Forget "surviving" on five credits. Alaric's about to turn the whole system upside down, with CD yelling, "Sunlight, Alaric! I'm a battery, not a fashion accessory!" and a whole cast of women who are definitely noticing. This isn't just a book-it's the audiobook you'll play while doing laundry, cooking, or trying to explain to your cat why you're suddenly screaming, "YES, MONSTER CORES ARE PERFECT FOR THE NEW MECH!" It's got heart, humor, and enough action to make your coffee go cold. You don't just hear this story-you'll be yelling, "MORE!" at your phone. Trust me, Alaric's empire starts with a five-credit fix... and ends with you begging for Book 2. Do yourself a favor: Press play, and let CD's sass heal your soul.
