The Temple Ate the Light

Candles are burned daily in the temple. The world thinks that it is the light dedicated to the gods. It wasn't until Ke Wen woke up that he saw the real answer - the light did not shine on the gods, but was eaten bit by bit by the temple. He was originally an assistant professor in the physics department on Earth. He died in an experimental accident. When he opened his eyes again, he became the "magic insulator" that everyone laughed at in the border town of another world. His elemental affinity is zero, the temple considers him useless, and the academy regards him as a laughing stock. But when the stone slab named "Dawn Pattern" awakened in his body, he saw the underlying structure behind the magic circle: the so-called magic was just an energy circuit tampered with by false gods; the so-called faith was just a channel for the temple to harvest the lives of all living beings. While others relied on talent to cast spells, he used mathematics to optimize the formation patterns. While others knelt down to worship miracles, he used physics to dismantle the gods. When the power of the first fireball tripled in his hand, the entire academy thought that the loser had awakened. Only Ke Wen knew that he was not awakened. He is rewriting the rules of this world.
