A Budding Scientist in a Fantasy World

Alice, a science enthusiast from Earth, is abruptly transported to another dimension brimming with magic and monsters. In this new world, a peculiar System notifies her of her increasing stats and levels, presenting a compelling mystery for the inquisitive Alice. Driven by her passion for uncovering truths, she seeks to understand the System's origins and underlying principles, believing everything, including the System, must have a cause. This LitRPG unfolds in a fantasy setting, featuring a clever protagonist who navigates a medieval landscape with modern knowledge. Unlike typical omnipotent systems, this one operates with defined limits and rules. The story begins with a challenging survival period in the wilderness before Alice encounters civilization, gradually improving her situation. She focuses on research and understanding magic, the System's mechanics, and the potential for return or addressing the escalating mana issues. While combat exists, it’s balanced, and the narrative emphasizes Alice's intellectual pursuits and growth from a weaker state to a stronger one.
