Brief introduction

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel.

Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot!

...

Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar.

The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West.

The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos.

Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live.

This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb.

A city of hallucinations.

I am one of those dream-chasers.
