PLOT
A game illustrator called Matt is struck by a lightning and transmigrated to the body of a guy his age, called Glax of Valosia. Glax of Valosia uses a mask that hides half of his face. Not understanding why it happened and with no memory of his new self, but recognizing it's a typical 'isekai' trope, Matt tries to go with the flow. At first, he feels useless and dislocated, but soon he discovers an intriguing cheat and also finds that Glax, his other self, is an important piece in this place.
He discovers he's in Stygia, the Ascended Hell. The place is the classic Hades, but something happened and the Underworld 'Ascended'. Several years passed since this event, and society thrived. They have new clans, customs, and even gods, but something new threatens the status quo: steam-powered metallic monsters.
