Day in the streets
An introductory and cursory glance into the Tenth Realm, a fantastical steampunk world of my make, through the perspective of one sailor Jonas Campbell. This is a complete short story and includes a fair deal of generic fantasy verbiage. To give the general idea shortly, the Tenth Realm is gigantic metropolitan city that fits an entire world's worth of people in it. The city is as old as civilization itself, and there is no known civilization besides it. The city also extends far below the surface and is big enough to house multiple independent political bodies inside of it. The story might still require a few fixes here and there as it currently stands, but it is complete in a general sense.Complete
