Dead Cats Don't Care - Book 1 : Light

Theod Aegis, mundane in a family of mages, has inherited scattered memories of a life on Earth. He wants nothing more than to serve his citystate but he is powerless to fight the demons bent on exterminating humanity.  When he finally awakens magic, he recognizes its terrifying power from physics classes on Earth. Follow as Theod explores the nature of reality, teaches particle-wave duality to a cute light mage, and develops technology to fight off an army of genocidal monsters.  THE MARTIAN by Andy Weir meets SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED MAGIC by Andrew Rowe   Warning: Reading this book may qualify you to receive a minor in physics, certificates available on patreon.

There were lots of little changes and I want to thank my Patreon supporters for helping with some of the harder choices. Thanks to everyone that commented with suggested changes, you are forever appreciated.  Update Feb 22, 2025: Book two is coming along slowly. I am up to chapter 24-ish with some really exciting events and revelations. I'not going to commit to a strict timeline as I've learned I'm really bad at doing that. I will try and just keep writing one chapter at a time and release the whole book quickly once it's done.  Stay tuned! Oh and FYI - No cats are harmed in this fiction... It's a metaphor...
