Steam Era: My Alchemy Reaches the Divine

Lin En Bustevictor, son of one of the Empire’s highest-ranking noble families and a prodigy at the Psionic Academy.

On his very first day joining the supernatural organization known as the Ereis Academy, he learned the truth about the world:

Beneath the steam-belching warships slept ancient, indescribable gods; in the ordered world of interlocking gears, cracks seeped with whispers of madness.

His job was to handle “anomalous cases” that conventional weapons could not resolve.

His advantages included not only the conveniences granted by his golden finger, but also supernatural artifacts from the ruins of the Age of Divine Fall.

[Old Whisperer flesh core detected. Consume?]

[Warning: Consuming a high-ranking anomaly will attract the Void’s gaze.]

[Remains of the Rebel Mechanical Lord detected, containing an “Evolutionary Sequence.” Analyze?]

While his colleagues struggled to hold on with psionic powers and talismans, the [Ember] beneath Lin En’s feet was already roaring to life, made up of endless gears, pipes, and living metal.

It devoured anomalies and analyzed gods, forging the incomprehensible into fuel to drive the next age.

Then, one day, the Academy’s most dangerous contained entity broke free. The sky split open, and a colossal eyeball gazed down upon the world.

Countless powerful figures perished in madness.

Lin En calmly adjusted his monocle as the furnace behind him yawned open like an abyss.

“According to Article Seven of the Manual for the Reuse of Anomalous Entities…”

He raised the wrench in his hand toward the descending evil god.

“You’re under arrest.”
