This is a damned Victorian fantasy novel.
Add a spoonful of steam engines to get that damned tech tree moving! Add a spoonful of love and hatred to give everyone a good reason to fight! Add a spoonful of insanity to make this dark world a little lighter, then finish with a spoonful of calamity for the main boss... Wait! Damn it, I added too much!
Year 931 of the Yin Erwei Ge calendar.
The city I live in has been named the most advanced city in the West.
The main reason? World-changing steam technology, a source of emerging innovations and chaos.
There's no denying it. That's just how things are, and people keep flocking here to live.
This city will always give you a glimmer of hope. A lie, perhaps, or an illusion, but it's so close, almost within reach, that you would give your life for it.
A city of illusions.
And I am one of its dreamers.
