Slaves to the Metal Horde

In a sun‑scorched wasteland where war and a relentless plague have shattered civilization, Johnny Hope wanders a desperate village haunted by the memory of his parents. The community, ruled by a stern mayor, treats the dead as dangerous contagion, demanding that Johnny abandon his wish to give them a proper burial. As tensions rise, Johnny’s quiet defiance forces him to choose between obedience and the promise his father left him.

Amid the hostility, whispers spread that the very robot armies once built to serve humanity might hold the key to ending the disease. Johnny, driven by his father’s dying counsel, sets out to uncover whether any machines still roam the ruined cities, hoping they could bring a cure. His journey begins with a single, daring step beyond the village’s fearful borders, where the fate of the surviving few hangs in the balance.
