In a realm rife with war and conquest, only the strong and cunning may survive. 
Planar travel has become the determinant of strength. 
Nobles and powerhouses travel the myriad planes, invading and plundering them to increase their personal strength, grow their military might and fund their endless wars.
A systems engineer and lifelong web novel reader is reborn as Alex Fury—a young noble deemed talentless by his own family. Lacking his family’s bloodline powers and warrior potential, Alex is exiled to a Mage Tower. 
His fate is clear: master magic... or lose everything.
No cheat system. No divine blessing. No hidden power.
What he does have is a mind sharpened by logic, engineering... and stories. 
Blending the System Engineering and web novel knowledge of his previous life with the Rune knowledge of his new world, Alex Fury creates a revolutionary new form of magic unique to him...
RuneTech Magic.
From Runic Artificial Intelligence to an Interplanar communication networks; From Rune-powered super soldiers to Rune-crafted Power Armours (and mechas), from new energy sources to Perpetual Energy.
With this marriage of science and technology, Alex will usher in advances previously thought unattainable in his new world, and his old one.
This is a tale of power, rebellion, ambition- and legacy.
Empires will rise to crush him. Worlds will try to deny him. But with intellect, invention- and just a spark of madness, he will carve his name into history.
Witness the birth of the Rune-Tech Sage, and the beginning of a legend that will echo across worlds.

Conscious control of Providence was extremely difficult to pull off. In truth, it was rare for an individual to be strong enough to consciously direct their own Providence to make the world bend in their favour.


More often than not, an individual's Providence worked passively—guided not by their surface-level desires, but by what they truly believed was in their best interest.


Curiously, controlling the Providence of an entity made up of multiple individuals—like a kingdom—was often much easier. A powerful king, for example, could influence the combined Providence of a nation, directing it to serve his agenda or uplift the nation as a whole.


Reading this, Alex was reminded of eastern cultivation novels from his previous life, where nations possessed something called National Fortune—an ethereal force the ruler could wield, especially with the help of rare artefacts known as Fortune-Suppressing Treasures.
