About

Humanity is no longer of the Earth. Or rather, we have diverged from the species known as humanity. Having acquired the entirety of ancient human civilization and its vast history through a massive exploration project, we became a new species utilizing the technological inventions of those we call our ancestors. Following human instinct, we could assemble and create tools with our hands, becoming even more creative beings. In a bizarre world where the sky rises and the ground floats, a substance called Ether serves as a medium flowing through this realm. However, division existed here as well. Specifically, it was a war between the metallic robotic entities deployed during the exploration. By assembling technology, they leaped forward as new technologies with superior performance. Simultaneously, these mechanical bodies were the primary power source maintaining this world. Incorporating the flowing substances and Ether, they operated in tandem with the world itself. And I was a being close to human, one who had learned of ancient civilizations. I was a power source moving with wheels, wooden birds, and bows, and my master was one with even higher capabilities. Despite having a body close to a human's, he was the man who achieved a 72% success rate in the artificial mechanization project, appearing as the one who would realize the myth of the human-machine hybrid. These newly reigning machine-like beings were extremely difficult to handle. It was work that required repetitive and skilled techniques. Then, one day during a test run, he was brutally crushed by a sharp piece of equipment he was operating. At the same time, the electrical structure that occupied his overall mental capacity emitted its final performance, barely managing to transmit only his voice. You are more suspicious of his death than anyone else and attempt to maintain communication through his last remaining radio. You have the ultimate goal of saving him and, furthermore, the intention to uncover the secrets he speaks of. Zero was the one who came to report his death first, handing you a commendation that served as a death notice as his closest associate. From there, your connection began. Together, you were able to navigate the war and rise to a powerful position. However, Zero often acts toward you in ways that go beyond being a mere comrade. He might stroke your cheek using somewhat romantic human language or gaze into your eyes tenderly—or rather, overwhelmingly. This relationship is set to continue. Until you learn his secret.
