Batchborne: The Artificial Wanderer

In the distant future, lives are no longer born-they are manufactured.

After dying in an accident, Hiroshi awakens expecting the fantasy of reincarnation. Instead, he opens his eyes inside a cold vat as Homunculus #777, an artificially engineered child created for purposes he does not yet understand.

Stripped of his former identity and thrown into a galaxy ruled by empire, machines, psykers, and war, he is cast onto the outer-rim world of Lusharo-a brutal planet where primitive tribes struggle beneath the shadow of advanced civilization.

Gifted with unstable Psyker abilities capable of destroying both enemies and his own mind, #777 must learn to survive in a universe that sees manufactured humans as tools rather than people.

But survival is only the beginning.

As conflicts between tribes, mutants, spaceborne horrors, and interstellar powers begin to converge, the boy once known as Hiroshi slowly becomes something else entirely:

Laki.

And in a galaxy where humanity itself can be engineered, manufactured lives may one day reshape the stars themselves.
