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!

The freezing hail stung Ed's face as he made his way forward on the slippery ice. Not even his purple water could protect him completely from the extreme weather. Before long, he reached the center of the icy tundra.

The same ice giant as before stood with its two-handed sword embedded in the ground. It was easily five times the size of Ed. Its icy body was smooth, as if it was made of mirrors. Its glowing eyes opened, staring at him. Small chunks of ice bounced against the floor as it lifted its sword from the ground and pointed it forward.

Scales covered Ed's entire body as he prepared to fight. 'Everything in this world has a limit. I'd like to see just how many ice giants this training room can make.' He shot his arm forward, a sharp stream of purple water firing forth from his hand like an arrow leaving the bow.
