Earthshaking Continent, Land of Chasing the Sun.
Three blazing suns hung overhead, scorching the cracked earth. From high above, the entire region exuded an air of desolation and violence.
At the end of the horizon, a city rose from the ground.
Walls cast from steel stretched on and on, towering spires piercing the clouds, their metal shells gleaming coldly beneath the blazing suns.
This was one of the countless strongholds through which the Mechanical Overlord controlled the Earthshaking Continent, and a war machine that operated day and night without pause.
Every part of the city drew in and expelled energy mist. Countless mechanical pipes wound like blood vessels between the walls and towers, ravenously devouring every resource around them.

No living beings existed here, only an absolute order composed of metal.
Just then, a streak of pitch-black light tore across the sky, plummeting like a meteorite and slamming into the outer wall of the mechanical city.
