by Soratobu Washi
Beneath the suffocating shroud of steam and the relentless ticking of clockwork, where does the truth hide? In a world drowning in chaos, where can the oppressed find their salvation? Kenji was just an ordinary man until he woke up beneath a crimson moon, inhabiting the cold, broken body of a stranger named Alphard. This is no fairy tale reincarnation. This is a nightmare of gears, blood, and ancient shadows. To survive, Kenji must navigate a cryptic system of Doors and Keys—manifestations of power that demand a heavy price. In this world, progression isn't bought with experience points; it is paid for in sacrifice. As corrupt religions, hidden factions, and silent gods pull the strings from the darkness, Kenji must decide: will he be the savior of this dying world, or merely the fool playing a part in a divine comedy?
