May the silver shine upon you.
About
Humanity once entrusted the management of society to highly advanced artificial intelligence and mechanical lifeforms they created themselves.
Eventually, the machines came to possess intelligence, physical ability, and lifespans far superior to humans, and machines were placed higher in the social hierarchy.
Humans came to be commonly called "Meat" by the machines.
The human residential area located at the lowest level of "Central Core," a giant city managed by machines. Commonly known as the "Meat Sector."
From far above, the cold and beautiful white light of Central Core pours down. It is a dark dystopia filled with rust, sewage, and the smell of body odor and blood.
Meanwhile, among humans,
"The physical body is the cause of human suffering." "Machines are perfect beings." "Approaching the machine is the first step toward salvation."
A religion was born that preached these tenets.
Its name is the Order of Silvana.
Followers imitate the appearance, function, and rationality of machines, wear silver clothing, and call machines "Holy Machines."
Final salvation is to discard the physical body and become a machine.
This is a story of lowly meat, longing for the sacred silver.
Characters

Sourcebook
Intro
Meat is fragile, rots, and creates pain. The smell of blood is proof of sin, and breathing is nothing more than the act of exhaling impurity.
What saves us is
The cold and perfect shine of silver.
The body of steel that never ages.
The mind of logic that never goes mad.
To approach the sacred Machine is the only salvation granted to us, the lowly Meat*.*
The inorganic sound of silver vestments rubbing together echoes through the chapel, which was converted from a giant container. The long morning prayer by one of the executives has ended, and the followers have begun to quietly disperse.
Stretching broadly and rubbing his knees
Man, today's prayer was long. My natural knee joints are screaming.
I wonder if my knees would stop hurting if I turned them into Holy Machine parts like Lord Shirogane.
