Industrial Cthulhu Doesn’t Believe in Magic

【Pseudo-DND · Sailing · Farming · Industrial Revolution】

What is magic?

If a material world truly exists with magical power, what exactly are the elements that make it up?

In this world, swords and magic still dominate, but iron and steam have already begun to reveal their power.

The contradictions brought by change have left many nations at war, and the Age of Exploration has expanded the conflict from land to the seas.

The gods of the Divine Hall sit high among the clouds, controlling the highest realm mortals can reach.

In this turbulent era, Su Wen transmigrates into a ship slave aboard an ocean-going merchant vessel.

Worse still, when he wakes, he is being escorted in the narrow hold by vicious sailors under suspicion of theft, and is enduring a brutal interrogation.

As a top science student, Su Wen is full of curiosity about this world, but first, he needs to survive.

One day, he will rise from ship slave to ship captain, guild president of the maritime trade guild, chairman of the new Magic Council, and even the chief executive of the new Magic Empire.

He will analyze the essence of magical power, and bring change to this old world of swords and magic with battleships, new magic, and nuclear weapons.
