   Summary

   Robots and machinery rule the earth where humanity swore to protect. It’s only a matter of time before it all burns to the ground, Tyler knew that much. Whether he was making a mistake by sitting crosslegged in a circle of salt, wincing as blood covered his fingertips, he promised he wouldn’t let life slip through his fingers again. Even if that meant he had to cling onto it with molars and claws.

   The faithful, “do no wrong” preaching Tyler Joseph was summoning a god.
