Steampunk: Mobile Battle Armor

[Not a mindless power fantasy] A flood of steel sweeps across the continent. Steam-powered armor spews torrents of white vapor, setting the tone for the world. The lower classes can barely cling to life, while the upper classes enjoy wealth and splendor atop the corpses of the poor. Shen Qiu, born among the lower classes, wears his armor beneath the cover of night and rain. But he is destined to break through the storm and be reborn in a world of fire. The day he rises from the ashes, the flames at his side will reduce all the darkness in the world to cinders!
