"Hmm, I don't have much to upgrade yet so I'll just use it on my defense module so I can protect myself better"
Maya swiped her hand and her status opened, she then tapped on a button with a wrench and hammer as a symbol, a new window popped up and it showed each component that was installed on her mech body, there was not much on that screen, she dragged a kit like object from her inventory which was the upgrade module and dropped it on her shield generator on the torso area, the level changed and so did a bit of its stats.
[Energy shield Generator] lv.2
Able to project 2 hexagonal shields made up of compressed particles capable of blocking physical attacks of B- and below.
Energy: 450/450
"That's good I can defend myself more, I don't know how to fight so this should help me a lot, along with the knowledge from reading hunting blogs"
Maya was smiling even though her face didn't show it due to being mouth less, she looked at the exp scraps in her inventory while grabbing her blade.
"I'll need to hunt more actively, being level one is dangerous especially in the serene mountains, I won't be able to withstand fighting a lv.16 or higher"
Maya closed her windows and began to walk towards a single direction, she started to think on which weapon she would buy next to help her grind, the system doesn't seem to be restricting her from buying alien tech considering she was able to buy the shield generator.
A large shadow appeared from above Maya and she turned her head to see a giant hawk, passing by her area, she crouched immediately to hide since the hawk was one of the serene mountains kings, above the hawk was it's name and level along with its mob type.
[BOSS] Mechanical Hawk lv.50
It was considered a king of the serene mountains due to its high level but the true kings of the serene mountains was the [BOSS] Earth Mountain Turtle lv.30, which was literally a turtle disguised as one of the serene mountains mountains, and the other king was the [BOSS] Earth Serpent, players called it the Earth dragon due to its size, it resides within one of the mountains and will only appear when the Serene Mountains is crowded with players, otherwise to fight the boss one would need to find its cave.
Maya kept on walking to find another beast to kill, she needed the exp badly, exp scraps were a mediocre exp source for mechas since it will only give 10 Exp but if 5 scraps was fed to a Scrap Refiner furnace it would become an Exp Ingot which would give 100 Exp, many players opt to refine since it gave higher exp but Maya had to use them unrefined since a furnace was only available in the city or for sale in the interface mall.
The latest combat she was embroiled in caused her weapon to lose some durability, it now had 94/100 durability left, she would need to replace it or repair it later as well.
"Hmm I'm starting to wonder though, did i really reincarnate as a mech or am I just plugged to a machine so that my brainwaves can stay active inside the hospital, maybe the voice was also my imagination... nah I think I really died, so how could I be on aurum star then?"
Maya kept on walking while wondering about her circumstances, her hand moving to supposedly sheath her blade.

Unknown Location.
Upon a round table with a sun logo with 10 rays pointing towards 10 seats, 3 seats were occupied by figures hidden by a mantle of darkness that even the light in the middle of the table couldn't lift.
"How is it progressing?" figure 1 questioned with their eerie sounding voice, the figure was covered in a cultist like robe with a design that couldn't be seen due to the darkness.
"It's slow, too slow in fact" figure 2 responded with a rather mature and feminine voice, the figure was that of a busty woman.
"Crap, will we make it? and how slow is it?" figure 3 asked with their deep voice, the figure was that of a muscle bodied man wearing a suit.
"I'm ashamed to say this but the progress got halted at 4 percent, not even enough for a minor integration" figure 2.
"Why? we need to hurry in order to execute our plans" figure 3.
"The members are now searching for a way to breakthrough and hasten the process" figure 2.
"Good, #7 where are the others?" figure 3.
"They reported that they had personal stuff to attend to #1" figure 1.
"I believe the others but I don't believe #3 has such things to do, that lazy idiot, dismiss" figure 3.
The three figures stood up and walked away from the table, doors opened as they went away and the light from the table shut off.
