The Shadow of Great Britain

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Reborn As The Rune Coder

Reborn as the Rune Coder Death was supposed to be the end. For Arin, it was only the beginning. Once a software developer in a modern world, Arin awakens in the body of a fifteen-year-old orphan in a brutal fantasy kingdom ruled by magic, monsters, and hidden power. With only one month before he is forced to survive on his own, Arin quickly realizes something strange about this world. Magic here is not just power. It is code. Runes—ancient symbols used by mages—are treated as sacred formulas. Copied, memorized, and repeated for centuries. But Arin sees something no one else does. To him… runes look like programming language. Functions. Logic. Structure. And if magic is code— then it can be rewritten. Armed with a rare rune book, a mysterious dagger left by his father, and knowledge from a world that understood systems better than spells, Arin begins experimenting with forbidden ideas. What happens if runes are optimized? What if spells are automated? What if magic could learn? Hidden beyond the city walls, in an abandoned house surrounded by monsters and dungeons, Arin begins building something the world has never seen before. A mechanical construct. A wooden machine powered by runes. A creation that can think, learn… and fight. But innovation attracts attention. Nobles crave power. Mages fear change. And deep in the shadows, an ancient organization manipulates kingdoms in pursuit of immortality. The moment Arin rewrites the rules of magic— He becomes their greatest threat. —or their most valuable weapon. In a world where knowledge is power and secrets are worth kingdoms… one programmer might just rewrite reality itself.

After obtaining the Mech Designer System, Ves aims to create the greatest mechs in the galaxy! In the far future, the galactic human civilization has entered the Age of Mechs. The countless lesser powers of humanity have come to adopt mechs as their main weapons of war. Only a small number of humans have the right genetic aptitude to pilot these destructive war machines the size of buildings. Born to a military family in the edge of the galaxy, Ves Larkinson is one of the many people who lacks the talent to earn glory in battle. Instead, he became a mech designer.

His mechs based on the principles of life quickly allows him to rise to prominence. Powerful and highly compatible with mech pilots, his products have the potential to take the market by storm. However, success does not come easily, and countless challenges bar his ability to sell his mechs to a market eager for innovation! With the sins of the human race in the galactic arena slowly catching up, Ves must navigate the perils of the ultra-competitive mech market and maintain control over his growing organization of misfits. This is the golden age of mechs. This is the golden age of humanity. The question is, will it last?

All of my chapters are written and proofread directly by me for many years. The only automated tool that I have used is the basic spellchecker that comes standard with the Google Docs application. I have not changed my approach towards writing chapters for The Mech Touch even as technology has advanced and introduced new tools. I will continue to maintain my current approach for this webnovel until it has come to an end.
