Red Leaf Town was an ordinary town under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Administrative District.
As evening approached, the setting sun dyed the streets a warm orange. Mine workers getting off their shifts walked in twos and threes along the concrete roads. Some carried rations from the distribution station, some looked down to check their Contribution Points ranking for the week, and others stood by the roadside, discussing whether they could afford a new household Golem next month.
Two civilian security patrol Golems marched along the main road at a steady pace, the blue indicator lights on their chests flashing rhythmically.
Peaceful and orderly—this was the everyday life in the Divine Kingdom of Ten Thousand Machines.
