The Tutorial Runs on Trash [A Salvage LitRPG]

When the System descends, encasing the city in an impenetrable dome, most survivors awaken to gleaming swords and legendary classes. Mateo Ruiz receives **[Salvage Authority]**—a power that turns trash into tools, scrap into salvation. His sanctuary isn’t a castle but a crumbling waste transfer station. His arsenal isn’t enchanted steel but jury-rigged spears of rebar and shattered glass. His allies aren’t warriors but a ragtag crew of desperate civilians: a dispatcher rationing canned beans, an electrician rewiring broken appliances, and neighbors who just wanted to survive garbage day. To defy the Tutorial’s lethal trials, Mateo must forge a kingdom from the ruins of the old world—transforming discarded couches into barricades, shattered phones into surveillance networks, and the city’s abandoned refuse into a bastion against annihilation. But as the System’s challenges escalate, one question burns: can a man who wields trash outlast an apocalypse built for heroes?
