Eldgrimm

In the floating city of Brasshaven, where airships rule the skies and steam-powered robots serve coffee, 17-year-old Finn Gearwright is just trying to survive high school at Machina Academy. He’s not a genius inventor like his father, nor a prodigy duelist like his rival, but he does have one thing—dumb luck.

Gears, Girls, and Total Chaos

Back at their hideout, Finn sat on the couch, drinking tea while still processing everything.

Finn, muttering: "So I'm an experiment. My name isn't real. The Empire is after me. My harem is insane. And I still have no answers."

Aurelia, sitting next to him: "But you do have us."

Finn, deadpan: "…That's not always comforting."

Vespera, smirking as she cuddled up beside him: "We could help take your mind off things~."

Ignis, grinning: "I vote for explosives!"

Zephyria, raising a wrench: "Or SCIENCE."

Tess, rolling her eyes: "Or we could plan."

Finn, groaning as he covered his face with a pillow: "I hate my life."

Above the city, Imperial airships loomed in the distance.

And far away, Selene stood in a secret chamber, watching a glowing data screen.

A voice behind her, deep and commanding: "Does the boy suspect the real reason he exists?"

Selene, smirking slightly: "Not yet. But he will."
