The Theory of Useless Magic

Synopsis

The Theory of Useless Magic Chapter 11 has been released. Industrial machinery rumbles through cities once abandoned by magical fervor. Seven years have passed since the mystical forces vanishing left humanity scrambling for survival – forced to rely on cold calculation and muscle to produce the goods that fuel progress. Amidst this drab landscape, few question why magic disappeared as utterly as it did; its brutal eradication has become simply... fact. But amidst this sterile backdrop walks one person who refuses to accept this new order: Evan Brightstone, the name whispered among those few whose memories still resonate with a time when flame had burned within their fingertips. Evan's unyielding spirit festers at every brick in this stark architecture, his eyes unwaveringly fixed upon reviving what he believes was not just lost power but way of life itself. Nearing thirty, the once-fabled Arch-Mage clings tenaciously onto embers of dreams left smoldering long ago during his prime.
