Those titles are just for fun. Here's the official synopsis:

My name is Ryan, and I'm an utterly ordinary engineer, or at least I was before I transmigrated.

Now I'm a lowly mechanical apprentice in Forge City, spending my days with rusty gears and leaky valves. The one piece of good news is that there's an “auxiliary System” in my head that issues bizarre missions. The bad news is that it works only when it feels like it, and keeps telling me to fix boilers that scream and brass pipes that weep.

Then I met Serephina, the wanted “Aether Witch.” She said she could hear the heartbeat of machines, that my modified steam gun was “too loud,” and that I “reeked of logic that doesn't belong in this era.”

Now we're being hunted by inquisitors from the Royal Society, have bounties on our heads from gear-gangsters, and are surrounded by a bunch of immortal lunatics calling themselves “players.” Some want to help me, while others just want to take me apart and use me as a quest item.

All I want is to figure out two things:

What does that thing in my head want me to become?

And in a world that makes gods with reason and rules through madness, how can an engineer survive with nothing but a wrench and a few equations?
