Blood & Vapor: A Song Of the West [Steampunk Western]

Wasters. The word spreads like wildfire across the frontier—whispered in saloons, cursed in cathedrals. Born of rogue science and stitched metal, they’re outlaws in the eyes of the Church and monsters in the eyes of the world. Levi Wilson didn’t choose this life. Once a streetwise mercenary, he was captured, experimented on, and turned into something he doesn’t understand. Augmented with prototype Vaporguard tech and left with scars he can’t outrun, Levi escapes into a land already teetering on the edge—where the Church tightens its grip, bounty hunters chase Wasters for coin, and the Old World’s empire watches the New with hungry eyes. Now hunted and alone, Levi must learn to survive—not just the bounty hunters and Inquisition on his trail, but the growing power inside him. What begins as a fight to stay alive will drag him into something far greater: a war for the soul of the frontier, and maybe the world beyond it. **WHAT TO EXPECT** • Guns are outlawed—blades, fists, and augments rule the frontier • Alternate timeline where the Church controls global tech and power • Steam-powered war machines and brutal Inquisitors • Grounded, gritty combat with realistic consequences • Deep worldbuilding with political, cultural, and religious conflict • Third-person limited POV with strong character focus • No chosen ones, no prophecy—just survival • Slow-burn mystery and high-stakes tension • No harem • Earthsong magic with real costs, not flashy spells • Bounty hunters, Templar Knights, orphans, war criminals, and broken survivors

Transmigrated Indian Boy: Job Change to the Arcane Technomancer

In the year 2025, Ankush Halder, a struggling mechanical engineering student at Jadavpur University, finds himself at a crossroads. With three backlogs and placement season looming, his future looks bleak. But when he wakes up one morning, he is no longer in the world he once knew. Instead, he has transmigrated five years into the past, to a version of Earth where the world underwent a monumental shift in 1950—an interdimensional invasion that expanded the planet 100 times in size, dividing nations with ferocious monster-infested forests and forcing humanity into an era of magic, dungeons, and awakened abilities. Now an 18-year-old high school student in this altered timeline, Ankush must navigate a society where power is everything, and one’s talent and attributes determine their fate. With the Awakening Exam as the first major hurdle, he quickly realizes the fundamental shift in human intelligence and education. The system that once rewarded hard work is now rigged against the weak, with the wealthy hoarding resources, attribute-enhancing fruits, and talents to dominate the playing field. Armed with the knowledge of his previous life and an engineer’s analytical mind, Ankush refuses to be just another powerless commoner. In the Pre-Awakening Exam, he surpasses all limits, answering 600 questions—an unheard-of feat—but is expelled before anyone learns of his achievement. Branded as an average failure, he now enters the Awakening Dungeon, where he must forge his own path, unlock his true profession, and rise beyond the limitations of the system itself. Will his knowledge from modern engineering and science give him an edge in this magic-infused world? Can he survive in a world where power is dictated by talent and bloodline? In a world where monsters, dungeons, and professions determine one's fate, Ankush Halder is ready to change the game.
