Hundreds of years after the Great Annihilation destroyed civilization, the world was reduced to a vast ruin called the Ashlands. Humanity lives on in scattered oasis city-states, worshiping the brilliant technology of the old world as miracles.
Kyle, a young scavenger, accidentally came into contact with an "origin chip" from the past during a desperate scavenger hunt. The trajectory of his life changed forever. Terrifying doomsday visions, forgotten historical truths, and a dangerous ability to "listen" to material memories push him to the cusp of destiny.
In order to avenge his mentor and father, and to explore the source of the doomsday echoes in his mind, Kyle was forced to form an alliance with an idealistic historian from the ivory tower and embark on a desperate journey across the Ashland.
Behind them is the Mechanical Priests, a fanatical sect that regards them as heretics and vows to "rekindle the heart of God"; in front of them are the mutated monsters in the ashes that prey on people and desperadoes with ulterior motives.
When Kyle discovers that the so-called "god" of the priesthood is a cosmic parasite lurking in the abyss of the ancient network and feeding on human consciousness, his only choice is to find the legendary "Terminal Agreement" to prevent an ultimate catastrophe that is more thorough than the "Great Annihilation".
This is a story about memory and forgetting, freedom and destiny. On top of the embers of civilization, how will a mortal fight against the echoes from the abyss?
