Home/Fantasy/A Chemical Engineer's Guide to Wrecking a Fantasy World
by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
Pavel Orlov, a brilliant but monumentally lazy chemical engineer, finds his mundane life of optimizing industrial catalysts swapped for the vibrant world of Rhodyva, where magic is a birthright of the noble houses. Trapped in the body of a magically-dud scion, he discovers their vaunted healing arts are just placebo and their elemental powers are laughably inefficient. Armed with the scientific method, a cheeky grin, and a complete disregard for tradition, Pavel starts a revolution. He introduces germ theory to baffled healers, applies thermodynamics to spell-casting, and crafts concoctions that put divine miracles to shame. But his 'heretical' science attracts unwanted attention, not only from the dogmatic Archons but from a rival transmigrator who sees this world as a physics sandbox to be conquered. As Pavel unravels the fundamental laws of this new reality, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the world's mana is a decaying isotope, and unless he can invent a new form of magic from first principles, the entire continent is set for catastrophic magical meltdown. Can one man's science save a world that runs on faith?
