Sometimes one must take heed to the warnings given to them. Sometimes one should avoid places which are rumoured to be cursed. Sometimes one should consider the folk tales. But Chanyeol was not one to do so, and despite all the forewarnings that he received, he bought the Manor. Rumour has it that the place was more than haunted. People had seen ghosts, lights, strange and unexplained things around this ancient building, people had vanished without trace, but Chanyeol was a bright young inventor. He was not one to fall for mere tales and paranormal activities. He had purpose, he had a mission and he was not easily spooked. He had found crystals in an old mine nearby, crystals which could power his mechanical creations, which give life to his machines. He was determined to get his hands on those precious gems and use them for his ingenious creations.
Little did he know, that this time around he should have listened to the warnings…

The fic will have music to go along with it, just as background, as this is a kind of fic that I wanted to write for a while (one with music). Also, even though I have published the Foreword and all, the fic will not be published until I finish the whole of it. And even after that I will deliver one chapter per week… I hope you will enjoy it~
Here is something to keep you company while waiting~
What is Steampunk?!?
This is it: Wikipedia / Urban Dictionary. For those who don’t want to read the article and see the pictures, here is the basic definition: Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialised Western civilisation during the 19th century. Steampunk works are often set in an alternative history of the 19th century's British Victorian era or American "Wild West", in a post-apocalyptic future during which steam power has regained mainstream use, or in a fantasy world that similarly employs steam power. Steampunk perhaps most recognisably features anachronistic technologies or retro-futuristic inventions as people in the 19th century might have envisioned them, and is likewise rooted in the era's perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art.
