It's the end of the world, and all Dave wanted to do was eat his eggs in peace. Now, thanks to a talking bird, he's in another universe with only a few years to either become powerful enough on his own to save his home or to find some help to do so. Desperate to understand the rules of the world he now occupies while the System pushes him into dangerous experiments, Dave, with the help of some new friends, will do whatever is necessary to save his home and family. Even if he succeeds, that's only the beginning. Welcome to Magical Engineering.
