Spells, Science, and the Space Between: Part 1

Spells, Science, and the Space Between: Part 1

by ledukeofnuke

ActionAdventureFantasyHigh FantasyLitRPG

Striving to be the new Bill Nye the Science Guy mixed with a hint of Adam Savage, Izaak Bertchwild Schiller travels the world for his science and myth-busting internet show. When doing a show on The Bermuda Triangle, the very thing he was there to debunk happens; he is transported to another world. With the goal of getting home, he must get more powerful while navigating monsters, other magic casters, and the politics of rich people not excited to share their power. Will he make it home, or will he get embroiled in a magical conspiracy spanning multiple worlds and beings beyond his imagination? Follow Izzy, as his friends call him, as he learns about magic in this new world and how to apply his scientific knowledge in his new reality.  Author's note: This is an ongoing story based in a world I created for a DnD campaign! Come along with me as I explore this world to its fullest! 220k words and counting! Current schedule: 1 chapter/week posted on Mondays @ 7:00pm Pacific Time. (sorry folks, I have a 9-5 and only so much backlog) Comment and engage and I'll speed it up! What to expect: - A little more "Lit" and a little less "RPG" for the magic system - A slow-burn on the progression, with a focus on understanding and applying the magic system - Contemplative, intelligent, and quirky MC, learning and earning his magic with poorly timed pop culture references - Internal struggle with the choices necessary in a dangerous new world - A world that feels lived in, not just built for the story to be told - Detailed battle sequences - Maybe learning a few interesting scientific nuggets here and there! What NOT to expect: - Excel spreadsheet-breaking stat blocks/dumps - OP MC - Harems, or much romance at all for that matter? - Overwhelming action cover to cover

Hidden gem — exposure is the bottleneck

Readers who find this story follow it at a high rate; there just aren't enough of them. In our cohort data, near-daily posting lifted the odds of reaching 25 followers from ~0% to 17% — more chapters, shoutout swaps and ads buy the eyeballs this conversion deserves.

Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
