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!

"What's left to discuss?" Ed asked in confusion. After all, there was only so much that could be done in a couple days, and he was just a single outsider.

Tai's face grew slightly dark as he sighed. "I was unable to extract my forces from the Purple Origin Sect." He looked Ed in the eyes. "You must understand that those are the elites of our sect. While some of the elites were here or traveling, the vast majority of them are still within the Purple Origin Sect. If what the other sects said is true, then they are all as good as dead once Sect Leader Fang activates the ancient formation."

"I see." Ed frowned while crossing his arms. "In other words, this will weaken the overall strength of the Fire Dragon Sect. Even if the war is won, your sect will likely fall to being one of the weakest members of the Seven Sect Alliance. There will be nothing preventing them from stabbing you in the back."
