The Fake Hero Never Saw Me Coming

Yale's younger brother steals the coveted SSS-class mech core, believing it will make him humanity's savior, unaware it's actually bait for disaster. Seeing through the trap, Yale chooses the ridiculed F-class "junk" core and is exiled to a frontier star system. Teaming up with three fellow outcasts, he unlocks its hidden power and builds the galaxy's strongest mech squad. When the false hero falls, Yale becomes humanity's only hope.
