prologue 1

Centuries after World War III, humanity was still reeling from the devastation caused by what many considered to be the greatest blunder in human history. A small dispute between two world leaders had spiraled out of control, dragging all of the major nations into a brutal and bloody conflict that ended in the catastrophic use of nuclear warheads. The resulting chain reaction devastated the world, killing 60% of the human population and leaving behind a mutated landscape that was barely recognizable.

Amidst this chaos, a young man stumbled upon a mysterious energy source known as "steam". With this energy, he discovered that he could grant normal humans superhuman powers and unlock the mythical powers that were once only mentioned in myths. With the help of his followers, he fought against the beasts that now roamed the land, creating safe havens for humanity to rebuild and thrive.

As time passed, humanity began to harness the power of steam in new and innovative ways. One engineer in particular, Dr. H. Parker, discovered the perfect amalgamation between machines and steam. This led to a new era where steam-powered crafts determined the future of mankind, ushering in a technological renaissance that transformed the world into a place that was unrecognizable from the post-apocalyptic wasteland it once was. Steam was a powerful energy that permeated the atmosphere, and it was absorbed by all living organisms, including humans and wild animals. The power of steam even gave dramatic power boosts to these animals, leading to new discoveries and advancements in fields such as biology and medicine.
