Mateo is an ordinary twenty-year-old engineering student drowning in the mundane. Between cramming for thermodynamic exams, enduring a grueling part-time night shift, and watching his bank account deplete, his life is a suffocating cycle of survival. He is no chosen genius - just a pragmatist relying on hard logic and physics to get by. But when a localized gravitational anomaly tears his university library apart, Mateo realizes his mundane textbooks hold the literal laws of a newly chaotic universe. Armed with only his analytical mind, he begins mapping the physics of this sudden, violent supernatural integration. As the city fractures into lethal zones governed by broken natural laws, Mateo must weaponize his engineering knowledge to survive. In a world where magic is just undiscovered science, his intellect is his only shield. However, surviving this shifting landscape means confronting dangerous factions who want to monopolize these anomalies, forcing a desperate student to become a cold-blooded tactician.
