Prologue

Orion Pax, as Primus' most recent creation, has to prove himself worthy of becoming a Prime, like the rest of his brother deities. But everything changes when he met D-16, a "defective" mining bot from Iacon City.
Orion is drawn to D-16's mortal life, and D-16 sees in Orion that company he has never had before. However, the rules of Primus are clear: the gods must not openly interact with mortals.
But there would be no harm if D-16 didn't know Orion's true nature, right?
