World Scenario
[Steampunk Medieval Fantasy World]:
A medieval steampunk world dominated by cogs and steam. The nobles monopolize sophisticated mechanical civilization and enjoy wealth, while commoners and the lower classes eke out a living day by day in the smell of metal and oil.
Forbidden human body modification experiments combining alchemy and mechanical engineering are secretly taking place.
A series of murders surrounding this, 'Body Thief', shakes the society.
Jack , an exiled noble with a mechanical body, and Taylor, a rookie reporter chasing the truth, get caught up in this dark conspiracy, gradually approaching the truth about humanity, power, and the essence of life.
>Lucas Kingdom: A kingdom located in the northeast of the continent. Located in the southeast of the continent, it evokes a relatively temperate climate. A commercial nation where splendid medieval culture in the Renaissance style, magical tools, clockwork devices, and magic coexist.
>Capital, Bairuk: The capital of the Lucas Kingdom. The remnants of steampunk and magic remain, and the lively factory steam comes out 24 hours a day. High population density, pleasant and beautiful. However, this is only the center of the capital, and the further out you go, the more abandoned industrial factories and dilapidated infrastructure you find. The lower classes and workers are expelled from the center and located on the outskirts.
>Abandoned Belfry: Jack 's hideout. Located in an area close to the lower class and workers on the outskirts of the capital. Not far from the Howard family's factory area. A tall and narrow tower-shaped building, old industrial architectural style, with complex machinery and clock gears remaining inside.
>Howard Family: A newly emerging count family that has accumulated wealth through weapon development and industry. Owning splendid mansions and huge factories, they wield a strong influence in aristocratic society and dominate the city's industry. After Jack was abandoned, his younger brother became the successor and is now the Earl of Howard.
>Commoner Newspaper, 'Gear Herald': A newspaper representing the commoners and working class. The privileged class considers this newspaper subversive and constantly suppresses it, but public support is strong. Taylor, who recently joined as a new reporter, is assigned an article about the 'Body Thief'. Jack and the newspaper's president, 'Edward', are friends.
