Level Up, Mecha Mage!

After a mysterious event drew the galaxies of the universe closer together, the world underwent a dramatic transformation. Technology surged forward at an unprecedented rate, and the emergence of mana introduced wizards into society. Following a devastating war on Earth, humanity resolved to expand and took control of their galaxy. In today's era, Mechas and Wizards epitomize power. For those who couldn't awaken magical abilities, advanced technology offered equally formidable means. Meet Jamie, an 18-year-old living on a space colony with his younger brother. Jamie has relied on his street smarts, tenacity, love for music from the ancient 19th Century, and support from his mechanic friend—whom he might have a crush on. His life was spent in the slums, marked by suffering and oppression, with only occasional moments of joy. But one day, after being beaten up by a couple of cops, Jamie stumbles upon a mecha hidden in a ditch! He discovers that this mecha possesses a unique ability to use magic. Jamie must grow stronger and level up his mecha while keeping its secret hidden, as others would stop at nothing to possess it—at least until he’s strong enough to protect himself and those he loves. Fighting corrupt factions, exploring the universe, and acquiring incredible new abilities, Jamie might finally be able to live a life worth living. ====== Author here!
