Dr. Marcus Chen, a brilliant but burned-out scientist, dies in the most humiliating way imaginable: a corporate accident no lawsuit could fix.
When he opens his eyes again, it's not to fluorescent office lights but to a world of guilds, magic, and blades glowing with enchantments instead of reactor cores. To survive, Marcus must apply modern science to medieval metallurgy—and convince stubborn blacksmiths that thermodynamics isn't heresy.
But his curiosity soon draws the attention of mages, guilds, and powers that see more than just a clueless "apprentice." Between ancient secrets, dungeon labyrinths, and academies where alchemy is as dangerous as politics, Marcus finds himself walking the path toward becoming something unheard of:a Star-Forged Blacksmith.
What begins as an accident might just forge a legend.
