Gordon transmigrates to Londinium in an age of steam and supernatural powers, becoming a penniless student at the Royal Academy of Natural Sciences University.

No noble pedigree. No family inheritance. Just a student loan of one hundred gold pounds.

And a pair of eyes that can see the true nature of essence!

What everyone else sees: scrap, pollutants, garbage.

What Gordon sees:

[Shimmering Essence: "Unbroken String". Enhances synchronization between the nervous system and the body.]
[Moist Essence: "Sunken Memories". Used to forget and erase things.]
[Proliferating Essence: "Bottomless Hunger". Makes the user inclined to devour more.]

Well, that's...

Gordon gradually discovers that, with enough nerve, wealth can be found everywhere in the darkness.

While the rest of the world relies on experience to identify essence, he knows the good stuff when he sees it, avoids the pitfalls, and devours essence to strengthen himself.

So he hunts demons on the side and snaps up bargains on the cheap, never missing a chance to make a fortune.

A young noblewoman invests in him. A huntress moves into his home with a sword slung over her shoulder. A mysterious scholar invites him to pursue the truth together.

The empire hires him as an investigator. A professor treats him as his personal disciple. Cultists curse his name beneath the Blackwater River.

From a nobody to a man the entire world can no longer ignore.

Then one day, he sees...
