And survival became more than just outrunning the dead. It became about trust. About hope. About love. And above all...about the ones who remain.

This is a world where the gods of different times and peoples intersect in the most bizarre ways - those who are still alive, and those who are... not quite. Behind every "Merciful Lord" trails a long list of those He has successfully "blessed." In my Almighty's case, that list begins with an entire orbital station-currently lifeless, yet remarkably free from both sin and oxygen. And now, it is the turn of an entire tribe whose luck has permanently run out. Survival in this scenario is a high-stakes challenge. Especially with such an "Almighty" deity at the helm. But everyone will try very, very hard. In the end, high-tech bought at a clearance sale performs lousy miracles. But still-it performs! Take me, for instance: a talkative AI box with very beautiful premium LED-backlighting.
