Epic Fantasy: Call Me the Great Prophet!

[Western fantasy + smart protagonist + a touch of Lovecraftian horror + mystery + deduction + no female lead + male protagonist] Three years after Cassius arrived in the steam-powered world, he unexpectedly awakened an ability called Fate Simulation. It could reveal snippets of events that would take place in the next 24 hours. An undercover agent from the Association slipped into his shop to case the place. A woman in a black veil, her identity unknown, left a dangerous gear in an alley late at night. A note appeared under his bed: “We know what you can see...” Cassius knew his peaceful life as an apprentice was officially over. After that, he was forced to navigate between the nobility, the Magic Association, the underground Steam Party, and other factions, struggling to survive with the information advantage he had. As his origins were revealed, he discovered that he was the son of Adrian Crand, a legendary figure who had died seventeen years ago. His father had left him two paths: Inherit his power and give up running. Or gather leverage and rewrite the rules. Cassius ultimately chose a third path that did not exist. In the Ashen Tower, he rejected his preordained fate and became a new player in the game, one who overturned the board. The price was becoming the enemy of every faction and enduring the unrelenting pursuit of an ancient consciousness. Now, the game begins again. A new board has been set. All players, take your seats once more. This time... I’m the one moving the pieces. You may call me The Oracle.
