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.
