Steam Age: I Fight Against Divine Authority with Otherworldly Tales

Transmigrating to a steampunk era ruled by theocracy, Suren Chern finds himself the most dangerous "outcast." Here, power is both a gift and a shackle; alchemists, inquisitors, watchmen… all the extraordinary beings are slaves to power. Secrets are both his source of power and his curse. A book, the *Book of Secrets*, allows him to solidify secrets and glimpse the truth. The deeper the secret, the fewer those who know it, and the stronger his power becomes. And he himself is the world's greatest secret. It all originates from the supernatural rule parasitizing within him—the [Mirror Demon], which once killed him. The *Book of Secrets* allows him to project the [Mirror Demon] completely onto this world. But each time he uses this power, it accelerates the supernatural erosion of him. He walks in the cracks between theocracy, monsters, and taboos, arming himself with stolen secrets, forced to become a riddle teller. All he wants is to uncover the cruel truth hidden behind theocracy in this rigid world before he completely becomes a supernatural tale. ...["Surren Chern is actually incredibly powerful" → Secret Tier: D] ["The Archbishop of the Judgment Church actually likes men" → Secret Tier: D] ["The beautiful widow Agnes is actually a man influenced by a wonder" → Secret Tier: C] Surren Chern closed the book and glanced at Judge Wood, who was fawning over "Agnes." Being a riddle teller isn't so bad, actually. Maybe Agnes should teach Mr. Wood how to shave.
