Mechanic Han Xiao

"Me, a thief? Hey hey, don't accuse me of stealing if you don't have proof! I, the venerable Han, am a law-abiding, state-loving citizen. Back in secondary school and high school, I was always the model student! I was in the top 3 every year! People always praised me for being a righteous young man, plus I've never even peeked on a girl before, much less steal! As for now — cough, cough — I’m just borrowing some money from a kindred soul out of desperation. You feel me bro?" - The Legendary Mechanic, Chapter 20

After eons of orchestrating the fate of the Flickering World and transcending the boundaries of his own universe, the Black Star found himself in a peculiar position:

He was bored.

Having successfully navigated the diplomacy of the real universe and established a technological bridge that ensured the prosperity of his people, Han Xiao realized that being an apex existence came with a distinct lack of "grinding." He had delegated the management of the Black Star Army to his capable subordinates, leaving him with nothing but infinite time and a fleet of ships that had already seen every corner of known reality.

While sifting through the primitive digital networks of the real universe, Han Xiao stumbled upon a data signal for a simulation known as New Eden, which immediately sparked a sense of nostalgic hunger. To the Black Star, this was not just a game but a fresh server offering a much needed escape from the stagnation of his own omnipotence and a chance to reclaim the cutthroat struggle of his early days in Galaxy.

Embracing the thrill of genuine risk over the boredom of godhood, he projected his consciousness into this new frontier to test his legendary Mechanic intuition against a world that did not yet fear his name. Leaving his empire in the hands of his subordinates, he now navigates the ruthless politics and complex engineering of New Eden as a humble pilot, relishing the unpredictability of a universe where he must once again grind for every scrap of influence.

He treats every pirate ambush and corporate merger as a familiar quest, proving with a shameless grin that no matter the reality, the Black Star will always find a way to exploit the system and come out on top.
