[Western fantasy + not brainless + a little bit of Cthulhu + suspense + reasoning + no female protagonist + male protagonist]
In the third year after Cassius came to the steam world, he accidentally awakened an ability called fate simulation.
Able to predict local event fragments within the next 24 hours.
When the association's spies sneak into the store to inspect the location.
The unidentified woman in black veil leaves dangerous gears in the alleyway late at night.
A note appeared under the bed saying "We know what you can see"...
Cassius understood that his peaceful apprenticeship was officially over.
After that, he was forced to deal with various forces such as the nobles, magic associations, and underground steam parties, using the information gap to survive.
With the revelation of his life experience——
He discovered that he was actually the son of the legendary Adrian Crand, who died seventeen years ago.
His father left two paths for him:
Inherit the power and give up fleeing.
Or collect chips and rewrite the rules.
Cassius ultimately chose a third path that did not exist.
In the Tower of Ashes, he rejected his destiny and became a new chess player as a chess-board flipper.
The price is to become the public enemy of all forces and endure the eternal pursuit of the ancient consciousness.
...
Now, the game begins again.
The new chess game has been set up, and all players are invited to take their seats again.
This time...
The person who plays chess is myself.
You can call me -
Prophet.
