Steampunk: Sixth Era Epic
Arriving in a new world where the steam industry was booming, he inherited a three-story apartment on the capital's royal square, took in someone else's cat, and listened to the whispers at his ear, ready to witness this mysterious and bizarre era. The epic of the Sixth Era was about to commence, and behind the curtain, The Chosen One was destined to step into legend. Old Gods, Relics, steam, witches, detectives, ancient secrets, the Era's brilliance... "Would you like to play a round of Roder Cards?" Time engraved the hours, as Silvermoon illuminated the shadows. I compose your legend, you whisper your verses to me.
Chapter 171: Eyeball
Miss Luisa, who was looking through documents with the glimmer in her hand, seemed utterly unaware of the situation behind her, and behind the man with the dagger, the figure of Dr. Schneider, who was supposed to have left the room, appeared:
"Did we come too quickly? You were too easily deceived."
The rumbling of thunder finally exploded at that moment.
In the darkness restored after the lightning in the study, Dr. Schneider grabbed the wrist of the man holding the knife, while Miss Luisa, who had been bowing her head, suddenly turned around with a fist engulfed in flames, striking the abdomen of her attacker from behind just like the night the merman appeared due to the uncontrolled Relic.
In the muffled sound of the flame splattering, the strange man blocked Miss Luisa's right hand with his left. Then, with an incredible motion, he jumped on the spot, broke free from the doctor's grasp, and like a gecko, attached himself to the ceiling.
