ProloguePrologueProloguePrologue
There are worlds slightly different from our own.
This is the story of one of them.
Small, powerful robots have become the number-one tool of
criminals around this world.
These tiny, remote-controlled robotic weapons operate within
restricted virtual battlefields known as holosseums. The ability to
mix and match the different parts of these mechanical marvels
earned them the name ”custom robos.“
It was at this point that society saw the rebirth of an old
profession:
the bounty hunter.
Our story follows a young man acting on the last words of his
long-lost father—he must become a custom-robo commander.
With his father’s final words on his mind, he joins up with the
bounty hunters of Steel Hearts.
The people who control custom robos are known as commanders.
The only people who can battle and defeat commanders are other
commanders.
The Police Squad, the law enforcement officials of this world, faced
with this new crime wave, formed their own corps of elite
commanders. They saw many brave people step forward and join
them. However, the number of robo-related crimes increased with
such speed that the police were quickly and severely outnumbered.
At first, our hero is a raw recruit with no training, but he soon
finds that he has a talent for his chosen profession. Spending his
days battling crime with his coworkers Harry and Marcia, he
quickly hones his skills to a high degree.
One day, our hero learns of a strange, autonomous robo of
tremendous power. As he and his friends strive to unravel the
mystery of this robo, they unearth hints of a greater secret
concerning a catastrophic event that transpired centuries ago...
