Paul thought his life was over when his bus was crushed in a horrific accident. Instead of the afterlife, he wakes up in a rustic monastery surrounded by elvish monks. What's a hapless mechanical engineering grad student with crippling social anxiety supposed to do when he becomes an isekai protagonist and he can’t even use magic? Between magi who see him as a golden goose, and a star worshiping mad elf, Paul just wants to survive. Follow him as he tries to survive racist nobles, his own ineptitude, a war hungry empire, and much much more! What to expect: Gritty Stakes: A realistic (sometimes), high-lethality world. Tech-Uplift: Witness the step-by-step industrialization of a fantasy world, from basic tools to steam and gunpowder. Slow at first: Things ramp up after the initial chapters. Special thanks to GraceBMorgan for the cover art!
