What You're Getting Into,
This is not a cultivation fic. There are no systems, no cheat abilities, and no easy leveling. The main character is reincarnated into a different world that feels similar to Earth around the 1920s.
In this world, two superpowers stand above the rest. The Federation is controlled by capitalists who dominate industries, banks, and politics. Gevra is ruled by nobility who rely on bloodlines and inherited authority to maintain control.
The main character is reborn as a poor lower class person in the slums of the Federation. He starts with nothing. No talent handed to him, no protection, no powerful backing. The only thing he carries with him is the knowledge from his previous life.
He does not chase physical strength or flashy abilities. Instead, he focuses on strategy. He uses his intellect, planning, and schemes to slowly gain wealth, status, and influence. He gets involved in illegal businesses, arranges assassinations when necessary, and builds companies that serve his long term vision. There will be political confrontations, power struggles, and ruthless examples of capitalist predatory behavior.
In the future, he will establish a powerful consortium whose core sectors are finance, technology, and the military industrial complex. His ultimate goal is to create a new world order built around the Federation's currency and control global wealth through a central banking network formed with his allies.
This story is about ambition, economics, and political maneuvering. The main character wins through calculation and patience, not brute force. If you enjoy watching someone climb from the bottom using pure intelligence and strategy, this might be for you.
