A dying world. A promise to put it to rest. A predatorial ocean in the way.  A floating ocean composed chiefly by dogs is swallowing the dream-like home of Dirofil's people, inch by inch, spire by spire, palace by palace. Created by absent and imperfect gods, both the automata and their world are scheduled to be devoured by the relentless canines. That is, unless Dirofil can meet his lover, Shadiran, at the top of world, where joining their crystal cores they will be able to create a new existence, erasing the old one. There’s only one little obstacle that prevents their so-awaited rendezvous: Dirofil lives at the core of the world, and Shadiran at the edge, far above. And between them closed the merciless waves of this ocean in whose depths dogs mutate into core-eating monstrosities.   Armed with a pliable body with a metallic skeleton, a powerful core, and the discovery that he can assimilate aberrant dog parts into his being, Dirofil will have to cross the ocean of dogs, from bottom to top, from his fallen spire to Shadiran’s arms.   ---What to expect: -A three-handed automaton absorbing parts from the aberrant dogs he bests in combat to harness some of their powers. -A unique setting made mostly out of normal dogs impervious to damage.   -A cast of endearing characters, some with common sense. -Mutant dogs that range from harmless clusters of fluffy Corgis to eldritch invisible Komondoroks with carnivorous dreads, lamprey-like parasitic Samoyeds and The Reaper itself.   -Some humor. What you should NOT expect: -A system. -Human-species characters -Multiverse levels of power: The power scale of this story is only as big as the sea of dogs.
