Clockmaker of Destiny

The gears turn without anyone's control, and the steam fills the air to cover up destiny. Whoever holds a copper meter to measure cause and effect will know that time sequence has no roots. In the Victorian-style fictional world "Gear Continent", steam technology and extraordinary sequences coexist. When watchmaker apprentice Alan Gray was repairing an old pocket watch, he accidentally triggered the "line of fate" sealed in the watch - he witnessed his client's death three days later. From then on, Allen discovered that the clock he made could record, spy on and even fine-tune the "line of fate." However, destiny never allows anyone to peek. The Ancient God Sect coveted his talents, the imperial royal family needed his abilities, and the Holy See Tribunal regarded him as a heretic who must be executed. When the gears of the three forces are twisted together, Allen must choose between "obeying fate" and "recasting cause and effect" - and the price is that his own timeline is disappearing second by second.
