Eleven years ago, something happened in Condorra that changed the world permanently — swarms of machines descended and drove humanity to the edge of extinction. Most people either adapted to this new reality or found ways to profit from it. Ryiu had neither experience, because he was not in Condorra when any of it happened: he woke up in this world, transported from his quiet hometown of Hammertal by an unknown force, with no memory of how or why. There are allies to be found who may have answers, but the people who would prefer the truth stay buried are willing to go to significant lengths to keep it that way.
