GRADE ZERO ALCHEMIST

Adrian didn’t get summoned. He got deleted. On Earth, he was a visionary neuro-chemist creating IRIS, a bio-synaptic AI designed to merge human consciousness with raw processing power. But when he activated it, the universe didn’t reward him. It flagged him as a bug. Dumped into Orestia, a world saturated with Ether and violent monsters, Adrian receives the lowest possible diagnosis: Grade 0. No mana. No cheat skills. By all metrics, he is merely prey. But he didn't come alone. IRIS survived the purge, embedded in his cortex. Where the natives see "mystical energy," IRIS sees data. She decodes the physics behind the magic, scanning molecular structures and monster attack patterns in real-time. Survival is just the calibration phase. Armed with IRIS’s analytical capabilities and his own ruthless scientific method, Adrian begins a meticulous process of self-evolution. He isn't just trying to learn the magic system; he is going to reverse-engineer it. Step by step, reaction by reaction, Adrian and IRIS will claw their way from the bottom of the food chain to the apex. It will be methodical. It will be painful. But science has no upper limit. What to expect: Science x Magic: The ultimate hybrid build. Real thermodynamics and chemistry applied to fantasy biology. Smart AI Companion: A cold, analytical interface that evolves alongside the MC. No nagging, just raw data. Rational Progression: No unearned power-ups. Every upgrade is researched, tested, and crafted. Zero to Nightmare: A methodical journey from a vulnerable human to a biological apex predator. Hard Crafting: Detailed alchemy, equipment modification, and base building.
