Earth suffered apocalypse. All electronics over the world were destroyed. War and famine ravaged the lands. When humanity tried to rebuild, they discovered that most technology no longer worked. The laws that governed the world had changed!

Steam technology rose in popularity after the apocalypse. Humanity entered a new golden age. Then, the seven nightmares attacked. Espers with strange powers appeared. Mutants took over most of the world. This was the beginning of the Mana Apocalypse!

My name is Edward Tesla and I was born during the Mana Apocalypse. This is my story about trying to protect everything I care about in this living hell. My inventions will defeat the nightmares and save the world! Steam rifles, steam tanks, and steam mechs. My inventions will surpass them all!

Extra Note from the author: Some of the early chapters are a bit rough and need rewritten. Most of the long-term fans come from Chapter 21 and up. I guarantee the story continues to improve from there as you continue reading.  Political factions, wars, steam tech, mana mysteries, and more. Though the story starts in America, it also visits China, Europe, Africa, and other areas of the world later on.

Steampunk Apocalypse!

While Ed had been caught in his battle with Camazotz, Tai was preoccupied with his own deadly battle against Prime Minister Souma. Sweat dripped down his face as he glared at his opponent, but he still retained his poise as he gently waved his fan against his face. "Do you really think this is enough to beat me?" He scoffed. "Frankly, the American president was far more powerful. I guess Japan just doesn't measure up!"

"Humph!" Souma snorted, not even bothering to debate him. All he wanted was the blood of the man that had caused his granddaughter harm. His body covered completely in golden faith energy, he quickly vanished again as he prepared to attack.

'Damn.' Tai frowned as he hurriedly looked around. 'Is his power pure speed? Or is it some type of invisibility? Or has he stepped into the same realm as the American president but along a weaker path?'
