The Runic Alchemist

Ben, a driven postgraduate chemistry student, dreams of unraveling the universe's mysteries through science. But his life takes an unexpected turn when he dies and awakens in a fantastical realm as a five-year-old named Damian Sunblade. Initially thrilled to belong to a noble family, Damian soon realizes he is merely a pawn in their political machinations, sold off to another house to fulfill their ambitions. Refusing to accept a life of servitude, he clings to the remnants of his scientific knowledge and discovers a world governed by powerful runic symbols. With a fierce determination, Damian begins to experiment, merging magic and science to create his own unique form of alchemy.
