Due to her bullying the Heroine, Velestina Novaldein had been punished and was ordered to head to the New World, a newly found continent across the ocean. However, a civil war stuck her motherland and she was ordered to oversee their Nation's colonies across the New World. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever which lasted for three days. Everyone thought that she wouldn't make it but miraculously, Veleina survived but alas, what everyone didn't realized was that something came inside her while she was unconscious.

Something new, primal and unknown. <<less

Due to her bullying the Heroine, Veleina had been banished to the New World, a newly discovered continent across the ocean. However, a civil war struck her homeland and she was asked to oversee their colonies there. However along the way, she had been stricken by a high fever and ‘something’ even tried possessing her body to be reincarnated as her but Vileina is having none of it.... more>>

She is Velestina von Novaldein, and nothing will stand on her way.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, she will fight and scheme her way into developing a poor backward colony into an Empire that can equally contend against her motherland as she makes allies, befriends locals and gathers the ‘Unblessed Ones’ who have otherworldly knowledge to create a modern Nation in a world where Magic is predominant.

This is the rise of the Villainess. <<less

A queen from a distant land summoned a descendant of her country's Third Prince from another world to be her fiance and familiar. Tall, handsome,... more>> charming... qualities that she sought for her ideal husband. But much to her disappointment, the one who answered to her call was just...let's say, not what she expected. <<less

The natural born shitposter is a master of his craft, a ravenous beast constantly searching for his next kill. Yet, he does not consume flesh...... more>> he devours the attention itself. The (You)s spread throughout his body and encompass his soul, filling that seemingly endless void, but never completely satiating it. Our hero is such a monster. One fateful night, when 420s are blazing, and emotions are running high, he submits a post that changes everything. He finds himself in a world unlike his own. A world where attention itself is the greatest source of power of all, and he just so happens to be the best shitposter of all time. <<less

Darren Lee was an ordinary college student studying history and engineering at his local university when he suddenly found himself in a completely foreign environment. ... more>>

Within the first several minutes of arriving in the new world, Darren witnessed an event that was somewhat familiar to him: a brown-haired girl being attacked by a number of shady looking men led by a man with an eyepatch (seriously? what is with villians and eye patches?).

The scene is straight out of an anime Darren watched back on Earth, an anime set around a magical world on the verge of an industrial revolution. Bewildered at first, the college student watched the scene unfold like it did in the anime. When the girl is isolated and on the verge of being captured by her attackers, Darren decided to intervene for the sake of the girl.

This one action changes the "destiny" of the world and Darren now faces the consequences of his actions. Unfortunately for him, he is not the only "Earthling" of this world. Darren must fight to protect himself and the ones around him from various threats, both from this world and from his world. <<less

Earth was unique... at least that's what we thought at first.... more>>

Decades of research and observation made us believe that we were the only intelligent beings in the universe. Perhaps there was intelligent life out there, but if they existed, they seemed so far away.

That was until an alien ship arrived in our solar system and destroyed a dozen of our cities.

It wasn't until we managed to contact them and halt their bombardments that we learned a terrible truth.

Our great enemies are not the aliens... our greatest enemies are ourselves... <<less

Who am I? Where am I? A young handsome man across the room, a young beautiful woman on the other side. I see him but I also see her. Is that me? ... more>>

Arrow always saw the world in a practical way. He ignored impractical emotions of himself and others. His goal in life was to have a better understanding of the laws of the universe through the study of science.... more>>

But...

Due to an accident in a physics lab at work Arrow's consciousness crossed time, space, and possibly even dimensions. He became Arrow, a pink-haired teenager with a reputation of being a cheating waste in a land of magic. Arrow, now Lopi, must find a place for himself in this new world with no scientific community. He has to avoid being killed by other nobles, by his family, by magical beasts, or by any magical or martial arts practitioner that is stronger than him(currently 99.98% of practitioners over the age of 8).

Oh, and this is slow bl, which is great because the mc has a friendly relationship with many different women of a variety of ages and it never turns into a sex harem. <<less

...What? You want me to go on an adventure or something? Build a harem? Become an ashen specter? None of those activities are economically productive! Well, technically, if you kill a dragon and sell its materials, that makes you a "producer" and— But I digress! The point is, there's no way to enjoy a fantasy life if the nobles hog all the resources and technology is at the point where "flush" and "toilet" would never end up in the same sentence.

Suck it Rockefeller, Lipton, Rothschild, and Krupp: you’ll never get the chance to industrialize a fantasy world! Glory to Adam Smith!

—Author’s Note:

As a voracious reader of the fantasy genre, I’ve found a sort of unfilled niche for economic matters. No, not microeconomics like Spice and Wolf. Macroeconomics. Banking and government policies and the like. Most of the time you just see the paperwork, but never the details. Perhaps they aren’t touched upon for a reason, but I guess we’ll see.

Also, this story’s progression is rather slow with long-ish chapters, so it’ll read like a slice of life fantasy story a good bit of the way and will probably extend to during when the economics hit too, or so’s the plan. Oh, and this is my first novel so… please treat me nicely!

The end of science. The end of magic. The end of life, death, time, and space.
All have been witnessed by a single man, and started just the same.... more>>

Of course, such a person would inhibit their own mind, as to enjoy simpler things.
A simple trance to pass the time, waiting for anything interesting to happen.
The man tending to his garden is alerted by his own technology, and his face lights with joy.
"Huzzah!" he thinks. "Life! And it's not even my own!"
As strange, seemingly nonsensical runes surround his feet, the man removes his inhibitors and prepares to enjoy a world not of his own!
That is, after safety protocols are met.

This is a story of an immortal man bored beyond belief. Not a god, nor a cosmic entity.
Someone who will enjoy sharing his knowledge with anybody who asks... Despite the futility of them understanding.
A man almost at the pinnacle of knowledge, scientific or otherwise, meeting a primitive "Fantasy world."
"Demon kings? Gods? How has such life been created? What wonderful things to test!"

//hiya. im taking a break from my other novel to write something thats probably not that different, but its in third person this time.

A steampunk isekai adventure with a little sex and violence thrown in for good measure. During a psychedelic trip gone wrong, Ezra Wormwood finds himself transported into an unfamiliar body in the world of Medias and enslaved to the sorcerer, Fenrik of Westval. Meanwhile, Anise Derrigin finds herself combating against her Uncle Fenrik and coming to terms with her sexual identity in a society that might not be ready to accept her. Follow the stories of Ezra and Anise as they discover their hidden powers, consort with shady criminals, and fall in love (but not with each other) in a strange world embroiled in technological and political revolution. Chapter updates will be biweekly.... more>>

Note: This series will be cross-posted to RoyalRoad.com. This series is on hiatus until mid-February 2020 so I can work on other obligations. Arc 1 is a full and completed novel and Arc 2 will have its own full storyline.

Current state of the story (minor spoilers):
I've just finished writing the 1st arc. The first arc deals with
1) Ezra's efforts to get out from under the thumb of the sorcerer, Fenrik of Westval and to have something like a normal life with Rill, the fire goddess who becomes the love of his life. However, he'll have to deal with some pretty shady characters to make that happen.
2) Anise's efforts to realize and then gain acceptance for her sexuality and to become the first woman to ever attend St. Arbalest's magic school... though maybe Franyi will be able to come with her, too. She may also end up dealing with some pretty shady characters. <<less

Desperate and wandering, a young lord stumbles upon unknown knowledge that can help to overturn his peoples’ destiny. But can he rise to bring the prosperity his people need, or fall before it can ever take shape?
###
AN: I hate writing synopses, so I'd recommend reading a few chapters before making a decision. Also, it's tagged as an isekai but those tropes don't appear.... more>>

Warnings: I mention them, but there are a few chapters that are really gruesome. Furthermore, the innovations and advancements don't come into play until a lot later, though the framework for it all is built up early.

Inspirations: South Asian history, Tales of a Reincarnated Lord and some of the histroical and kingdom-building stories on RR are inspirations for this work. If you enjoy politics, clever strategies, nation-building and technological advancement, then this story might interest you.

Schedule: New chapter every Saturday at 3PM PST. <<less
