With the conditions of his contract fulfilled, the Hunter of the Workshop was no longer tied to the shackles of the Dream. His choice to be freed was not an easy one, leaving behind everything he had come to familiarise. Where he had ended upon awakening however was not Yharnam, under the morning sun as he had believed he would. But of a desolate wasteland, which humanity had long left to inhabit the moon. "Human detected. Exterminate human." Soon enough, the Hunter was surrounded by these strange mechanical beings of different sizes. He brandished his weapon, preparing for the ensuing battle. A Hunter's work is never done, he supposed. NieR: Automata belongs to Yoko Taro and Square Enix. Bloodborne belongs to Sony and From Software. I own only Syn and this story.

In a post-apocalyptic Earth, ravaged by both war and alien occupation, two unlikely figures-Cortana, the once-omnipotent AI from the Halo universe, and A2, the battle-hardened android warrior from NieR: Automata-find themselves drawn together by fate. After Cortana's self-sacrifice to destroy the Zelta Halo ring, she awakens in a new dimension, her consciousness embodied in a physical form. With Earth abandoned by humanity and overtaken by alien forces, both Cortana and A2 must forge a new path. As they navigate this devastated world, they discover a rare bond-one born of mutual understanding, shared losses, and a deep, growing affection for one another. When they find and take in Kira, a damaged YoRHa android child, their lives take on new meaning. Together, they fight to rebuild not only Earth but the very essence of what it means to care, to love, and to create a home. In the midst of the ruins, a romance blossoms between Cortana and A2, grounded in quiet tenderness and unspoken devotion. As they raise Kira, teaching her about the beauty of growth, love, and family, the trio begins to form a new legacy-one of hope, resilience, and the power of chosen family. Echoes of Tomorrow is a touching story of healing, discovering new purposes, and the tender love that can flourish even in the most unexpected places.
