by M. Woki
Doc didn’t crash. He got isekai’d by a science problem. Now he's in a world full of monsters, magic, and a class system he accidentally opted out of. Robert Duckworth is a scientist, not a hero. He studied anomalies across galaxies, until one dragged him in. Now he's trapped in a world where magic is real, monsters evolve, and everyone seems to have a class system wired into their soul. Everyone except him. With no powers, no class, and no idea how the rules work, Doc falls back on what he knows best: observation, experimentation, and survival. What begins as a study in staying alive turns into something unexpected—a found family of former prisoners, a sanctuary built from danger, and the quiet realization that his presence keeps changing the people around him. A slow-burn science-fantasy with dry humor, grounded world-building, found-family warmth, and one classless scientist whose very presence bends the rules of magic. Chapters drop every Friday, with the occasional Tuesday surprise. Note: This story is AI-assisted. I write the narrative myself, but I use AI tools for editing, rephrasing, and polishing as part of my workflow. Some chapters may reflect that influence in occasional phrasing and rhythm. This note is included for general transparency.
