<p>This story has been returned to the page of its prequel in light of the Volumes feature: Retribution Engine</p> <p>This page now serves as archival.</p> <p>"I don't care what you read in some old, dusty tome. You have two options: Option one, you can spend decades chasing an outmoded cultivation method that'll probably turn you into a walking impurity tumor if you don't know some crucial secret. Option two, you can give me a couple months and I'll teach you how to punch through someone's head."</p> <p>- Zelsys "Sevenfold Storm-conqueror" Newman, Founder of the Newman Family</p> <p>The world at large has just begun its recovery from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog. Catastrophic environmental damage and gaping power vacuums stir the cogs of history into motion in the absence of open war, eternally greased by the blood and sweat of ambition.</p> <p>A small duchy in the North of occupied Ikesia now stands at the precipice of upheaval as the burgeoning powers of the new era clash within its borders... Meanwhile, as the survivor of a now-extinct cultivator family struggles for survival in a world that cares not about his social status, the very embodiment of his escapist coping mechanisms forces him to pursue the fantasies of self-determination he had never dared act upon.</p> <p>Disclaimer: Retribution Engine and its sequel, Sturmblitz Kunst, are original works and are no way associated with, to, or sourced from existing copyrighted material.
