Turret Mage: An Isekai LitRPG (In My Defense Book 1)

When Ryan Kotes awakens on the alien planet Ralqir, he discovers he has a metal arm and receives mysterious messages in his vision. His memories are fragmented, and the System tutorial meant to guide him through his arrival has malfunctioned—possibly triggering the world's apocalypse. Ryan learns he is an Exotic, an ascended being with a connection to the System. However, his abilities to shape metal and infuse objects with mana are not suited to combat. As nightmarish creatures threaten his new home and the dead begin to walk, Ryan must adapt his crafting skills into something deadly. Using his mechanical knowledge and creativity, Ryan transforms his Class into a weapon-building practice, creating formidable munitions and honing his mind itself as a tool for survival.
