In a parallel world on the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the seven original powers - war, freedom, silence, order, prejudice, prophecy, and mechanical power - constitute the laws of the world. Thirteen powerful people in the sequence gain power through the "Proof of Authority", and the Church of the Seven Gods controls the superficial balance. But behind this seemingly sacred system, there is a cruel truth hidden: authority is not a gift, but a shackle; the sequence is not a ladder, but a cage.
