He woke up with nothing. No name. No memory. No idea what he was. Only metal arms. And a mechanical device where his heart used to be. A ruined Earth. Collapsed cities. A humanity that vanished. In a world like this, a boy crawls out of a pod in the middle of a desert — and he doesn't know what he is. He doesn't know that the most powerful beings in the universe built him. He doesn't know that they're still out there. He doesn't know that human survivors, shadowy organizations, and cosmic forces are already moving — all of them hunting him, all of them wanting the same thing. He has nothing. Except a small fox that refuses to leave his side. Can something built to destroy learn what it means to live?
