At the edge of the siege line, Alex Physalis entered the forge by choice. Beneath the iron gantry, ancient mechanisms awakened around him—not to replace what was broken, but to amplify what was already there. Black steel formed a living exoskeleton around his body, each servo answering his movement with greater speed, precision, and force. A reactor burned steadily at his core, powered by discipline rather than rage. Beyond the forge doors, the ruined horizon shook beneath the siege signal, but Alex stood calm inside the smoke, fully present and in control. When the machinery finally fell silent, he stepped forward stronger than before: not a weapon built by war, but the architect of his own evolution.
