Patents What the heck is this? After patting each of the children on the head, Mrs. Hudson prepared to head back. She carried her now-empty basket. "I'll head back to Baker Street first. The carriage is still waiting for me—besides, you know 221B simply cannot do without a landlady!" "Didn't the maid you hired recently return from the country?" Arna had just finished one beef pie and was holding another. "Leave the cleaning to her. If she can't handle it, I'll go back and do it." She…-

Pie This was not something she had stolen. After the doctor left, Arna returned to her second-floor office alone and sat down. A couple of days prior, she had crafted a desk and chair for herself. The window opened inward, perfectly positioned to give her a view of the children gathered around the tables downstairs. Since no one was around, Arna hummed a tune and propped her legs up comfortably on the desk. First up was a basic inventory of the factory's assets. …Even though she was…

Driving the Carriage Death-Defying Speed Demon! Once the first applicant was accepted, the other children stopped gawking and focused on their work. Oliver's fingers trembled, but he soon became engrossed in assembling the parts and raised his hand. Soon, ten children had completed the task. Besides Oliver, all his companions were hired as well; not one of Fagin's five children was left out. The remaining spots were filled by other ordinary East End children who had heard the story,…

Recruitment Kid sister? In the early morning, Oliver woke on his straw pallet, his mind still reeling from the events of the past two days. Two nights ago, Fagin had been hunched over on a wobbly stool, his greasy fingers fiddling with a stolen pocket watch, his sharp eyes glinting. On his other side lay a neatly folded stack of processed handkerchiefs. The embroidered names of their original owners had been picked out, and they were now waiting to be sold off for sum after sum of…

Collapse A player never admits defeat! By the time Arna reached the supplier's shop, the streets of the East End were already bustling. The air, as usual, was thick with the rhythmic cries of vendors and so polluted by factory exhaust that the sky was a blanket of smog. The advertisement she’d placed in The Times would likely take a day or two to circulate, but the Baker Street Irregulars would spread the news through the alleys and tenements of Whitechapel much faster. Ten apprentices,…

Clever Don't you dare laugh, you bastards! Just as the three of them were still chatting about the golden tools, an ominous creak sounded from the stairs. The door burst open. Their landlady, wearing an apron, stood in the doorway with her hands on her hips. "Gentlemen, I should think you've had quite enough time to discuss your miscellaneous affairs!" Her finger pointed straight at Arna. "Especially you! Good heavens, child, you skipped lunch like a stray cat, and now you're pale as a sheet,"…

The Plan One Zhuge Liang, two smelly cobblers. Considering the rather long walk from the East End back to Baker Street, and considering the offer of a free carriage ride was too good to pass up, Arna accepted a lift from Mr. Green, the solicitor. She returned with him to his office in the city center, planning to walk home from there. But after they arrived at the firm, Mr. Green stopped Arna just as she was about to leave, eagerly handing her the box containing the old deed. "Keep this safe,"…

Extortion A new channel for making money! Oliver had no idea why he was here. As a scrawny, much-abused orphan, he had only just walked into London last night on his own two feet. Today, he had somehow been roped into this grand enterprise. Yesterday, after chatting with that clever, unfamiliar boy and being introduced to the old Jewish man, Fagin, he had found a place to stay in London. But he couldn't shake the feeling that he had stumbled into some very strange place. When he woke up this…

The Factory Hurry up and pay! Never mind how she did it, and never mind the coachman’s mood upon discovering someone emerging from under his carriage—the fact was, Arna, having hitched a ride, arrived at Mr. Green’s law firm precisely at the appointed time. She scanned her surroundings before her eyes settled on a brass plaque hanging on the door in front of her. A line of text was inscribed upon it. Nemo me impune lacessit. …Surely this didn’t mean “No Aisas or dogs allowed,”…

Fishing Don't you dare! At six in the morning, Arna woke up in bed right on schedule. She opened her eyes, changed her clothes with practiced speed, then gathered her equipment—an Advanced Fishing Rod and an ordinary bucket she had picked up yesterday. Locking her door, she slipped silently down the old wooden staircase and ran cheerfully toward the ground floor. Morning! Fishing time! New fishing spot, here I come! The morning sky was a hazy grey. Only the gaslights still glowed a dim…

Hygiene Blind Box Fun! What do you do when the starter village's residential building spontaneously combusts? So long as the player can prevent the free housing from burning to a crisp and triggering an "uninhabitable" ending, they won't willingly fork over tokens to rent a room. The situation was urgent. Arna found the door unlocked and pushed her way in without a second thought, racing up the left-hand staircase. Spotting a bucket of water on the second floor, she grabbed it and hurled its…

Inheritance Why is it a factory? Arna only opened her eyes as the train slowly pulled into the London station. A blink of an eye, and her stamina bar was full again. Easy as that! She made her way down the narrow corridor toward the exit, surrounded by people all desperately pushing their way out. Before she knew it, Arna’s boots were stepping onto a spacious, brightly lit platform. Sunlight streamed down through the high, arched glass ceiling, cutting through the white steam that was…
