Forging A Kingdom From Ruin

In a world where three mighty empires circle like vultures around the dying Kingdom of Eldoria, Prince Silas Cinder awakens with the memories of Kael Victor - a brilliant 21st-century engineer who died in an earthquake. Trapped in the frail body of the "Cursed Prince," Silas must use his modern knowledge and analytical mind to save a realm that seems doomed to conquest or collapse. With only 42,000 citizens remaining, an empty treasury, and enemies on all borders, Eldoria appears to be beyond salvation. But Silas sees potential where others see only decay. Using principles of engineering and systematic thinking, he begins to transform not just the kingdom's infrastructure, but its very approach to survival. From learning to manage his crippling health condition through innovative sword aura techniques to proposing unprecedented diplomatic solutions with the surrounding empires, Silas must prove that intelligence and determination can triumph over raw power. His vision at first: to forge Eldoria into a neutral center of innovation that serves all three empires while maintaining its independence. But can a sickly prince with revolutionary ideas survive long enough to see his kingdom transformed? And will the people of Eldoria trust their future to a ruler who thinks more like an engineer than a traditional monarch? This is the story of how the weakest prince of the weakest kingdom began building something that could stand for a thousand years.

Age of Kings 1066

This is a story about Rio. This story is loosely connected with my previous story, but there will be either no or almost no crossover; it just has a similar main character. So you do NOT need to read my previous story to understand or read this story. This story does contain a system, but it is a strictly informational system. I made it so it would make it easier to visualize the map, and so the character can have a slight advantage, but nothing too crazy. It won't appear until later. Now for the story. This will be a story about a small Duchy that is within the region of Wallachia, connected with the Carpathian Mountains. Our main character will be born to the ducal family, but will not know this until he is older. The Duchy is led by Radovid V, and his family has suffered many losses that forced Radovid to find any living family members left in his Dynasty. The Duchy is small and is surrounded by hostile forces waiting to annex it should Radovid die without an heir. Rio is a reincarnated scientist who has knowledge of many old and advanced technologies, but he doesn't know everything. He is fairly clueless when it comes to combat and war, so he will have to rely on his council to guide him through these tough times. And he may know a lot of technologies and what is needed to build them, but he doesn't know every invention that has ever existed. I won't have the technology instantly jump to using modern firearms, and instead, it will be a slow and methodical advancement of technology, like they are using a tech tree in a video game. The setting will be like what was stated earlier 1050s and beyond, but beyond that, the world will be quite different from our history, as this will be an Alt-History world where the divine did exist at one point. But what happened to them will be elaborated on later. Radovid and Rio are part of a dynasty that has dragon blood, but at varying levels. The world does have magic, but with the mass adoption of Christianity, magical creatures and beings that used magic were hunted down and purged. But those that survived fled to the Duchy of Concordia, where the Draconis family rules and has ruled since before the Western Roman Empire fell. But even with this sanctuary, few magical beings and users remain. Yes, there will be Pokémon, not many but a few. There will be far more magical creatures than Pokémon. But I like Pokémon and wanted to include one or two. The Videogame tag refers to the system as I am basing it on the interface of Crusader Kings III, and I will use that game for maps, as it will make it the most accurate and easiest to use map. And it will make it easy for you, the reader, to visualize what the kingdoms and Empires look like in terms of territory. This story will be Harem. I didn't in my last book, it will be at most 4, but at least 2. Just know that Harems are historically accurate for many cultures and kingdoms. Lastly, for the planned schedule of release. I intend on releasing two chapters a week, one on Saturday and Sunday each. The Chapters will be at least 1500 but can be longer. This is a Fanfic, and as such, I will never charge anyone for reading it, nor will it be locked behind coins or something. I write for fun, and anything in this book is a work of fiction and is not meant to offend or insult any group or people in any way, shape, or form. I love history, but I don't know everything. If you have any questions, leave a comment. I answer just about every comment that is made on my stories, and I appreciate constructive criticism. Especially grammar, I use Grammarly, but it can make mistakes, and I can miss these mistakes, so let me know if you find any.
