[Steampunk + Cthulhu + Power Awakening + Revenge + Decisive Killing + Warmth]
I am Sobeka, a wild child raised by steel crocodiles and the sharpest hound of the Imhoff family.
My "stasis" ability is the natural enemy of all powers.
I learned to speak human language, abide by the rules, and endure whippings, just to earn a human skin and a roof that I could call "home."
I thought I finally got it, until my adoptive father betrayed me and pushed me into the beast's mouth; until Captain Bushnell burned his last life for me and completely extinguished the glimmer of light.
They took more than just a life.
What they crushed was all the desire for "home" clumsily expressed by a wild child.
Since this world cannot tolerate a quiet bed for me.
Then I will tear it all to pieces and use your blood and bones to build a city that will not be desecrated for my cherished and remaining family members.
The old gods whisper to confuse the world, I hunt the sky with my blood. The body falls into the sky and the heart turns towards the moon. Wherever the blade reaches, it is home.
——This body is a hell, hunting all the gods, just to protect the last glimmer of light in the world.

The book's combat descriptions and supporting characters are excellent, but it's a bit slow to warm up, and the praise outweighs the success.
