Synopsis

A burnt-out chemistry teacher. A trash-tier Class. A world that doesn't know what hit it. Ryan Fischer spent ten years defusing bombs for the Army and another four teaching high schoolers how not to blow up the lab. He died of a heart attack grading papers at 2:47 AM. But death wasn't the end. Ryan wakes up in a forest filled with goblins, dungeons, and a game-like System that quantifies his existence. The bad news? The System assigns him the [Scavenger] class-a non-combat designation meant for picking through trash. The good news? The System doesn't understand chemistry. Armed with a rusted knife, a street urchin apprentice named Pip, and a head full of scientific formulas, Ryan realizes that "trash" is just resources waiting to be weaponized. In a world governed by stats and levels, he discovers that science is the ultimate cheat code. He isn't just leveling up; he's rewriting the rules: Magic costs mana? Thermite grenades cost rust and aluminum. Healing potions are expensive? Penicillin is just moldy bread and patience. Dungeons are impenetrable? Not when you understand structural engineering. But when a dormant Dungeon Core begins to breach, threatening to wipe the town of Oakhaven off the map, Ryan can't just scavenge anymore. Facing a horde of monsters and an Empire that wants him dead, Ryan must prove that with enough science, even a Scavenger can bring a dragon to its knees. Physics doesn't run out of mana. About the Series: Trash Alchemist is a LitRPG Isekai adventure focused on unique crafting, territory defense, and using real-world science to break fantasy magic systems. Experience a progression fantasy where knowledge is the deadliest weapon of all.
