Description

Roland, a linguistics major, transmigrates to the Arcane Empire and discovers that language and writing hold the true essence of magic.

Chinese, Draconic, Elvish, Abyssal... all can be transformed into formidable power.

Unlike the outstanding academic-genius novels that came before it, most of which focus on science, engineering, and the history of the natural sciences, this story follows a linguist's journey to becoming an arcane scholar of unparalleled brilliance.

Oracle bone script, traditional and simplified Chinese characters, phonetics, grammar, semantic analysis, information theory, natural language processing, neurolinguistics...

One arcane research paper after another forges a new legend for linguistics!
