Welcome to dirt. Sorry if I don't have much to offer, but you won't lack space. Make yourself at home, but be careful where you step, it can be a little... Slippery. Make yourself comfortable, after all, you won't be short of food either. Come closer. Welcome to my world

Maybe it's my only and last way to record what I'm going through. What if everything is real? I can see them, hear them all the time... I'm a coward. A complete hostage to my hallucinations.

A drop of blood fell into her father's grave. Angels and demons came to fetch it. On a morning of eclipse, the sun and the moon meet over Kaldvik, in the frozen north of Andronor. In the afternoon, Aldara climbs the slope to leave blue thistle on her father's grave. A thorn pierces her finger. A drop falls to the earth. Down below, in the Umbra, a demonic lord sees the glow of that blood and recognizes what the gods had deemed extinct. The eclipse made the veil between the worlds thin. The demons rise. From the Splendor the angels descend. In the midst of the fight, Roriel, commander of the phalanx, saves Aldara and closes the wound on her shoulder with a sung word. Then Árcon, god of justice and light, gives the sentence: the mortal must die. The one who descends to carry it out is Roriel, alone. Angels do not know how to disobey. Roriel finds the only way not to kill her. He tears off his own wings. Without light and without flight, in a body that now feels cold and hunger, he flees with Aldara to the Mountain of White Silence. There the two raise a house, and he learns to live as a man. But the sky has not forgotten the order, and in the Umbra the lord who saw that glow keeps waiting.

In the year 3075, humanity has achieved extraordinary technological advances. Machines coexist with people, cities are dominated by gigantic corporations, and technology is capable of replacing almost any part of the human body. But not even a thousand years of progress were enough to build a better world. While the richest live surrounded by privileges, millions of people survive in a society marked by inequality, violence, and corruption. It is in this world that Nia lives, a domestic robot who works in the residence of an elderly businessman. Her existence is simple: clean, organize, and carry out the tasks for which she was programmed. At least it should be. In a city where everything has a price, a police officer tries to find his place within a corrupt system, while a woman connected to the criminal underworld does what is necessary to survive. Three distinct lives, in a society that seems to have forgotten the meaning of humanity. In a world where machines become increasingly human, what remains of humanity in people?
