Civil engineer Arthur Vance was two days from his wedding when a truck ended his future. Instead of death, he awakens in the body of Oliver Ashborn — a frail thirteen-year-old noble who has just survived an assassination attempt. The once-powerful Ashborn family is collapsing: mines exhausted, roads ruined, territory drowning in debt, and powerful enemies already circling. But Arthur is not a noble. He is an engineer. Armed with knowledge of physics, chemistry, and structural engineering, he sets out to analyze and systematize magic itself. If mana follows rules, it can be understood. If it can be understood, it can be engineered — and in a world where magic decides power, one mistake could destroy everything.
