Being a genius magitech scientist sounds glamorous—until you accidentally tear a hole in reality, disintegrate half a room full of enforcement agents, and get yourself flung into a jungle dimension full of bioluminescent lizards with anger issues.
Meet Traebus Hellmut, Arch-Artificer of Magitechnology and reality’s most dangerous overachiever. With a lab coat singed beyond respectability, a malfunctioning gauntlet sparking like a cheap firework, and a wildly unpredictable relationship with raw mana, Traebus is having what scholars might call ‘a very bad day.’ One moment he’s ignoring legal warnings and lovingly threatening a mana vortex with sweet nothings, the next he’s waking up on a beach made of volcanic glitter sand, choking on seafoam and existential dread.
Welcome to a world where dinosaurs never went extinct, magic runs wild, and the food chain features creatures that consider wizards a crunchy midday snack. Armed with nothing but broken tech, untested theories, and a never-say-die attitude (despite many opportunities), Traebus has to navigate an environment that makes Jurassic Park look like a petting zoo.
His goals are modest: survive, rebuild his tech, figure out what flavor of cosmic whoopsie flung him here, and avoid being turned into jungle jerky by whatever eldritch nightmare is currently hunting him. Oh, and maybe learn how to wrangle the local mana before it sets his eyebrows on fire again. (Third time’s the charm?)
Along the way, Traebus inadvertently declares war on a flock of bioluminescent raptors, discovers a tribe of surprisingly judgmental triceratops, and has a spirited debate with a malfunctioning mana crystal that may or may not be plotting to explode. With sarcasm as sharp as his makeshift spear and a survival plan that mostly involves running and yelling, he’s determined to claw his way back to civilization—or die fabulously trying.
Jurassic Age Mage is a hilarious and high-octane survival fantasy filled with snark, science, spellwork, and prehistoric panic. Perfect for fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl, Rick and Morty, and that one friend who always thinks pressing the glowing red button will fix everything. It won’t. But it will be entertaining.
