Lord of Steam: Civilization System

Exiled from the Imperial Steam Academy for exposing corruption, Ian Cross is cast into a ruined border town drowning in black fog. There, he awakens the mysterious [Steam Lord System], granting him the power to build, command, and expand. From repairing a broken boiler to raising steam infantry, from forging iron mechs to launching mighty airships, Ian transforms despair into strength. Each upgrade fuels his rise—his town becomes a fortress, his fortress a metropolis, and his metropolis a floating empire in the sky. But danger lurks everywhere. The Church of the Cog brands him a heretic, noble lords hunger for his resources, and monstrous abominations crawl from the black fog. Every battle is a test of survival, every victory a step toward dominion. As gears turn and engines roar, Ian must decide: is he the master of the Steam Lord System, or just a pawn of the ancient Cog Sovereign hiding within it? In a world of smog, brass, and ambition— he who controls the gears, rules the continent！
