Lost in the Mechanical World

The maintenance technicians on Rust Street are never idle. They never repair gear bearings. They repair mechanical hearts engraved with the emblem of the Iron-Blooded Brotherhood, and furnace cores covered with strange tentacles. Kane carried a toolbox and wandered underground. He was used to seeing the mechanical bugs that burrowed into the skin, and he couldn't avoid the red-eyed mechanical hounds. He just wanted to survive in the cracks of sectarian disputes. But during an ordinary repair job, the prickly piece of cardboard in his money bag dragged him into a deadlock between the Mechanicus and the Iron-Blooded Brotherhood. During the days when the tip of the knife was licking blood, he discovered that the iron smell of Rust Street had always hidden a conspiracy to subvert the world. And he, an inconspicuous maintenance engineer, has already become a key piece on the chessboard.
