I'm Trying To Go Broke, So Why Do I Keep Getting Richer?!

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo! It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System. The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt. In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen. So, he tried. Oh, how he tried... He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger. [Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!] He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'. [Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!] To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand. Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'. But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face. "Please," he cried, "I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!"

Transmigrated as a Noble’s Son, Armed with the Lessons of History

Elias Morven devoted his life to history—studying the rise and fall of empires, the lies behind heroism, and the true cost of war. But knowledge could not shield him from reality. With no future in academia and no choice but survival, he joins the military, believing—briefly—that he might become part of a noble cause. War destroys that illusion. He witnesses atrocities justified by politics, comrades dying for meaningless objectives, and innocent lives crushed beneath ambition and profit. When his service ends, Elias returns home hollow, burdened by regret and guilt he cannot escape. In desperation, he prays for forgiveness—and dies. He awakens in another world. Reborn as Alaric Valenroth, the second son of a powerful noble house in a medieval kingdom, Elias finds himself thrust into a world shaped by steel, faith, and inherited violence. But Alaric possesses something this world has never known. He remembers history—not legends, but truths. Forgotten formations. Proven strategies. The patterns of war that repeat across ages and worlds. Armed with knowledge instead of blind faith, Alaric must survive the cruelty of battle and the treachery of politics while challenging a system that glorifies war and discards its victims. This is not a story of chosen heroes or easy victories. It is the story of a man who carries history itself into another world—and dares to rewrite it. WARNING! ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE SO I USED AI TO CORRECT MY GRAMMAR. Update Daily
