I Dissect, Therefore I Am

Kael Ashworth was once a brilliant but ethically unhinged scientist in the real world—obsessed with understanding the raw mechanics of pain, memory, morality, and the soul. When his genius crossed boundaries forbidden even by the most clandestine research ethics boards, the world rejected him. But death was not the end. It was... promotion.



Reincarnated into a fantastical realm of magic, kingdoms, divine prophecies, and romantic tropes, Kael is bestowed no sword, no hero’s crest, and no redemption arc. He is granted only his unrelenting intellect and a single command from the strange system that summoned him:

“Observe. Control. Conclude.”



While others search for love, peace, or power, Kael has a single divine hypothesis:



“Humanity is a collection of flawed samples. I shall refine the data through pain, loss, and sacrifice... and call it truth.”



To the people, he is a charming genius.

To the nobility, he is a mysterious saviour.

To his beloved—Rosalind—he is warmth incarnate.

But to Kael, they are all test subjects.



From dissecting magically-altered beasts and weaponising gardens of healing herbs, to perverting acts of kindness into experimental variables, Kael turns the fantasy world into a monstrous Petri dish. He watches how suffering distorts love, how belief collapses under evidence, and how even angels can be induced to sin.



Beneath the veils of grandeur, chivalry, and beauty, a new scientific order is being established—one theory, one incision at a time.



And Kael Ashworth?

He doesn’t want to save this world.



He wants to publish it.
