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.

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.

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.

Gloveer Sibjaan (53), one of the Salt Barons of Vara has been having trouble this past year. ... more>>

Matters at home are chaotic. Isbrun, Gloveer’s eldest isn’t shaping up as the heir he should have been and Gloveer’s other 3 children have issues of their own their father has to deal with.

Even worse, dark clouds cover the horizon, and the abnormal rains are a damper on the salt trade. Shipments are irregular these days and there isn’t much sympathy for a salt baron without money.

Even at the best of times, the hawks were never friends to the mercantile barons and naval faction. They become bolder and ruder as Vara’s ally and neighbour Aaljau gears up for war against the So Empire once more. The front looks desperate this time, even Gloveer has to admit, as the So buy the full support of the recently formed Princips United to the North to support their campaign.

But even occupation of the Diostejan Peninsula by its historic foe might not be the true threat. As the skies change in Vara, so do the animals in the woods. Tales of leviathans surfacing in the seas reach Vara from far ranging fisherman. Worse, reports of Princips soldiers flinging fire from their hands lower the morale of the Varan council.

As Gloveer wonders how to keep his mercantile interests afloat until his second son can come of age, a letter arrives for him with a cryptic warning from a familiar name: his own. <<less

Rick made new rules for himself every few days. But there was only one rule that he truly always followed- Don’t stretch your legs more than the size of your blanket. The way to success was by not drawing unwanted attention.... more>>

But when the Inter-planar wars began, Rick had no other choice than to survive, and for that, he had to give up his laid-back lifestyle.

“Still not gonna be a hero!” Rick vowed.

Superhuman strength, agility, ability to use magic, telepathy, all sorts of talents emerged.

As heroes began to emerge among the population, Rick decided to take up the mantle of being the man in the shadows.

When life gives you lemons, make citrus gernades. When life gives you isekai, create free markets and industry. ... more>>

...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!

"My name is Nixolas Zinn, I'm the commander of the Mercenary Group known as the Grimm Tails, and this is my story--"... more>>

----

This is going to be a space adventure story... Wooo~.... At the start, it will be the fresh beginnings of our commander struggling to get funds to survive and the story will work itself up from there. There will be timeskips, there will be mistakes, this is a Grimdark world at times, and at times the story might be slow.

This is my first time publishing my work. I will be working on this in my free time, or when I'm bored.
I will probably add more tags and/or genres as I go along.

Finally, thank you for checking out this story.

This was Commander Nixolas Zinn, signing off~

(Do to Real-life Issues, The story will be on Hiatus. I'll try to sort them out as soon as I can, but it's troublesome... Also, I may just redo the first chapter, and rethink how I do the narrative for the story. When everything is said and done, I should be able to do weekly updates... maybe, idk, might just bulk release every month or so... I'll think on that) <<less

Marcus hates his life.... more>>

Life was hell for him. Living on a cramped, 8 meters square room with only the basic necessities.

Only way he can escape this nightmare is by somehow getting miraculously healed.

Or die.

But, now he wakes up miraculously healed.

And in an place that he's never been. Or even knew ever existed.

Author's disclosure: My purpose in this novel is to explore trading and adventure in a magic world. I'll try to put some humor and good fights in the novel to make it more fun.
This is a spin-off novel of AK – The Alchemy Kingdom. You don't have to read the other novel to understand or follow this one. It might offer some additional information and entertainment, tough.
You can also check my other spin-off novel, Harbinger of Death, which will be more action-focused and a little grimdark. Even if you are not a fan of the genre, give it a chance. I'm adding some soft romance in the hopes to make it unique and interesting.
I'm trying to improve my writing skills, so your comments and reviews are welcome.

Not so important rant below. Only read if you feel bored

Author's note - My first take on writing anything. I kinda like medieval and kingdom-building novels(history nerd here) and soon ran out of good novels from this genre to read( most kingdom-building novels end up being litrpg grind hell, not all of them are bad,but ...), so kinda thought why not write one.

I'll be honest writing something is so so difficult. I have a whole movie worth of material running in my head but find myself struggling to write it right.

Also English is not my first language and I know that I might have made many errors so if you find something buggy leave a comment.

This is not a dedicated project as I have a job that takes most of my time, but I will try my best to write as often as I can. <<less

Mateo was your typical 21 year old college kid from Colorado, he had everything that he had ever wanted apart from a good financial status, in fact everything seemed normal from a persons perspective, he had a loving mother, great friends, a job and a place he could call 'home'.

Follow Mateo on a crazy rollercoaster ride as he meets a God of sorts who bestows him a second chance in life across a different dimension on a planet known as "Greiss".

He also delves deep into the powers of the world including magic, swordsmanship and other crafts in order to gain the required power to protect himself from the dangers lurking in the dark.

Watch as he slowly develops into a cunning, logical mind as he begins to adapt to his new unforgiving environment. <<less

He never believed in love. Neither did he enjoy any romantic stories. Meanwhile, his sister adored such stories. She fantasized about romantic plots and wrote novels about them.
