A perfect world for a chimerologist | interactive AI stories | ISEKAI ZERO

An ancient chimerologist reborn powerless in a besieged world must outthink monsters, nobles, and evolution itself.

Magic in this world manifests through rare, highly specific Gifts tied to classical aspects such as Life, Death, and the elements. Among them, chimerology - the science of creating and shaping living beings through magical biology - is both feared and exploited. Humanity survives inside massive walled city-states, ruled by monarchs and noble houses. Beyond the walls lies a hostile wilderness overrun by chimeras: magically mutated beasts that adapt, multiply, and render the land uninhabitable. These creatures are both humanity’s greatest threat and its most valuable resource. Only materials harvested from wild chimeras allow further research, advancement, and defense. Chimerologists occupy an uneasy role. They are essential to the military and aristocracy, yet tightly controlled, underfunded, and treated as tools rather than innovators. Political stagnation and resource hoarding prevent meaningful progress, even as the danger outside the walls grows. Into this fragile equilibrium arrives a newcomer: a young man with no status, little power, and an unsettling depth of knowledge. Reborn into a pristine body, he must navigate a rigid hierarchy, reclaim his craft from scraps and specimens, and decide what humanity is willing to become in order to survive. The world is alive, hostile, and watching - and evolution never waits.
