The World He Shaped

Joshua Martin was a military scientist, a visionary at the forefront of humanity’s greatest technological leap—the creation of a near-limitless energy source. But just as he stood on the precipice of success, his life was cut short. The reason for his death? A mystery he never got to solve. Now, he awakens in a world of swords and nobility, in the frail, dying body of Aldric Ravensbourne—a disgraced noble known for arrogance, wastefulness, and failure. With his newfound title comes from a prestigious house hold, Son of a Duke, and a people who curse his name. But Joshua now Aldric, is no ordinary noble. Armed with his knowledge of science, strategy, and leadership, he refuses to let this world’s limitations bind him. If war is inevitable, he will forge weapons unseen by any kingdom. If famine looms, he will revolutionize agriculture. If corruption festers, he will tear down the old order and rebuild it anew. But as he rises, whispers of his miraculous transformation spread. Old enemies lurk in the shadows, and even greater forces beyond his understanding take interest in the man who should have died. In a world ruled by tradition, will innovation be his greatest weapon—or his downfall? (This book was written with AI-assisted editing and refinement, but all ideas, characters, and storytelling still originate from me.)

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Pokemon:Unown Awakening

The last thing that Miles remembered was getting hit by a truck before finding himself in the body of a toddler in a world of Pokemon. After deciding that he would embrace his new lease on life. Miles would go on to live life as Nina Jones, an uncannily bright child who dreams of going out into the wider world to explore unknown domains and make friends with various Pokemon. Join Nina in her journey as she endeavours to learn more about this mysterious world of Pokemon, meet new people and maybe even experience some Legendary encounters along the way. - Slow burn. - Focus on world building. - Slice of life with a healthy mix of action and drama. Note that I'm not a huge fan of EVs, stats and all the sweatier elements of competitive Pokemon play. Which is why you'll find that my depiction of Pokemon might go against these game mechanics at times. I also take a lot of liberties when it comes to established Pokemon lore whenever I feel like it makes sense. So don't be surprised that my rendition of this world is different from the games and animes either.
