Synopsis
Some people are born to be heroes.
Some achieve greatness through combat and conquest.
And some... some just want to be left alone to build in peace.
After sacrificing everything to save others from a devastating wildfire, a former search-and-rescue specialist awakens in a strange new world under alien suns. Their only chance at survival? A mysterious System-granted power that comes with an unusual restriction - while they can't learn offensive combat skills, they can create structures that naturally evolve and improve over time.
The catch? Their creations inevitably attract people despite their desperate desire for isolation.
Survival in this dangerous new world requires creative thinking. Without offensive abilities, they'll need to use their environment, their building powers, and their hard-earned survival knowledge to stay alive. But physical threats aren't the only challenge - their past trauma directly affects their abilities and attributes, making every decision a balance between safety and growth. As their simple defensive structures evolve into sanctuaries, they'll discover that survival requires more than just clever building - it needs planning, preparation, and worst of all, trusting others. In a world where even the familiar has deadly surprises, they'll have to decide what's harder to face: the dangers that lurk in the wilds, or the memories that haunt them from within.
