Clockhead Pendulum
Taking place in the Steampunk Victorian Era, Lady Jane, a 20-year-old year old woman, lives a simple but hard life as she struggles to make friends due to her seemingly frightening aura around her. Her friend Bess is immune to it and tells Jane about the ball that is tonight and that she must arrive. Later on Bess is revealed to be a fake friend for the readers but not for Jane. Jane's mother also tells her about the ball and tells her about the Ultimate Rich man named Ulrich, who is coming to the ball as the main reason the ball is even happening.
Later on at the ball, Jane's telepathic father who works as an inventor tells her about the Menzoden of Minatzbern. In layman's terms, the scariest organization in Minatzbern, even scarier than Jane's aura. her mother is also aware, knowing this, Jane walks away from the scene and tries to distract herself with food but gets far too distracted as the leader of the Mendozen appears in front of her, almost like he was summoned, and Jane tries to politely walk away, while he follows behind, still skeptical of her.
The leader then reveals why he arrived at the ball and kills Ulrich with a gun in front of everyone, which sends everyone into panic, as they try to run for the exit, but like magic the doors automatically close, locking everyone in. The massacre begins, the building explodes and Jane tries to get her parents out, but she is only who survives this, standing in the flames, eyes red with tears of despair, she breaks down and vows revenge on the Mendozen, when suddenly, everything is changed. Time, to be specific. She is back at the ball and everyone is alive, the Mendozen hasn't arrived yet.
