Steam spreads civilization, shadows breed mystery In this world where the supernatural and industry coexist, there are too many mysteries that Todd doesn't know about. The origin of the sacrificial mark on his body, blank memories, and some mysterious and bizarre events... These things fill Todd's mind. [Compared to memories, I remember more dreams] Originally, Todd only embarked on the journey to avenge his companions. But it was as if some invisible torrent was carrying him. The iceberg begins to reveal larger portions of the iceberg that are hidden below sea level. Gradually, "sacrifice", "executioner"... These names were inexplicably attached to Todd's head. In the distant future, Todd looked back at the shadow of the past and finally realized that everything in the past was just the tip of the iceberg of this extraordinary world. "The path to promotion starting from the sacrifice is the path I should take forward." At that time, Todd was sitting on a chair above the sky, silently waiting for the thick fog to bury him.
