The Bedrock

Xanari Telis died proving humanity wrong. After creating the world’s first truly sentient artificial life, the brilliant young inventor awakens in Xanrea, a world of magic, monsters, and ancient gods. Armed with an obsessive mind, revolutionary rune concepts, and absolutely catastrophic social skills, Xan begins experimenting with magic the same way he once approached engineering. What starts as a simple attempt to create companionship quickly spirals into something far larger as Xan unintentionally overturns magical theory, terrifies priestesses, destabilizes economies, and lays the foundation for creations the world was never meant to possess. Accompanied by Tina, a Nekojin priestess rapidly losing control of her life, Xan journeys across Xanrea in search of knowledge, materials, and answers. But while kingdoms chase power and heroes fight monsters… Xan is quietly building something that may outlast them all.
