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.

The world started anew 802 years ago. After unknown centuries of barbarism following The Fall of the old civilization, the first Towers rose from the ground in the ruins of ancient cities like Chicago and Phoenix. With the rise of the Towers came a measure of control over the Entropy that covered the lands. Where, before, this chaotic energy prevented any technology more complicated than a bow and arrow from functioning, suddenly the Order Fields of the Towers allowed cities to banish Entropy to varying degrees; allowing steam engines and muskets, or with higher Order, even assault rifles and electricity to be returned to the hands of humanity. With the rise of the Towers came something more than control of Order and Entropy. With the rise of the Towers came THE GRIIDLORDS. Each city was granted 5 Griidsuits, making superheroes of their wearers, individuals with remarkable powers, each the match of a 1000 fighting men. Tiberius has been pushed to compete for the Sword of Boston by his father. His father has amassed a great fortune as a merchant, he could buy and sell the castles and lands of the lords of the city, but there is one thing his money can't buy: nobility. Tiberius has been trained and honed to compete for the Griidsuit. Winning the suit comes with the founding of a new noble house that would satisfy his father's grandest ambitions. Tiberius must compete against the sons and daughters of noble houses. These youths that have been trained by the finest tutors. These youths come from lines of Griidlords themselves, they see the suit as their birthright. These youths come from a class that disdains the very notion of a commoner competing for the suit, no matter his wealth. Tiberius must navigate his own doubts, his own inadequacy, and see if he can grow enough in the precious days of the Choosing to become worthy of becoming The Sword of Boston.

When my home was consumed by the Rot, a deadly infection that left me orphaned and adrift in a world consumed by despair, I sought out a new beginning. Haunted by the ghosts of my past, I fled to a place that was said to be a safe haven, Zenith. That was where I first encountered Caspian, a man obsessed with 'collecting' those who he performs terrifying experiments on, trying to build an army of literal man-made automatons to take over the whole continent of Cogovia. Our first interaction caused a power within me I never knew I possessed to be unleashed, a cataclysmic force that both terrified and intrigued me. This newfound power drew the attention of Jasper Thorne, a reclusive inventor who resides in the hidden enclave of Aethelhum. Drawn into Jasper's enigmatic world of clockwork creations and forbidden secrets, I found myself trapped in a conflict I never imagined. Our initial encounters were marked by bitter clashes - his arrogance clashing with my defiance. Yet, as the shadow of Caspian's ambition loomed larger, we found ourselves an unlikely alliance. Together, we must learn to harness my burgeoning power and confront the psychopath who threatens to engulf Aethelhum and me in shadows. But in the face of impending doom, I realize that I must be the one to not only protect my new home and the enigmatic man who has become both my enemy and the man I was slowly falling in love with, but I also needed to protect the fragile hope of our future that has begun to bloom within my own shattered heart. As they say, having power comes with a cost, and that cost just might be my very life.
