After a decade on the run, fleeing from a foreign King who would see his whole lineage exterminated, Dominic had nearly given up on ever having a normal life.

But when he arrived in the Capital of Cygnia, where steam vehicles and Magitech had replaced traditional ways and old magics, he saw a chance to make a proper home for himself.

A chance at life as an Arcane Engineer, a valued Employee of the Cygnia Royal Family, which could earn him a Noble Title of his own. And perhaps a bit of revenge for his lost family members.

However, fate has a way of making the simplest of dreams into something much more complex, as Dominic was about to learn firsthand.

(Intended to be read standalone, but set in the same multiverse as Reincarnated With a Summoning System and The First Legendary Beast Master)

The World Dragon's Heir

The eastern battering ram was the first to fall, as a cannonball detonated inside its cab, tearing apart the drive mechanisms and rupturing the pressure vessel.

The western front had better luck, as the driver had raised the plow-shaped ram to guard his windows. It had taken dozens of hits with minimal damage, but Dominic could see that the vehicle was spewing steam as it approached the gate.

A round must have bounced under the ram and hit the undercarriage.

Dominic couldn't hear the impact over the sounds of battle, but he could see the backside of the western gate, and it didn't buckle after the truck disappeared from sight.

Again, white smoke was beginning to block the view over the wall as the cannons continued to fire. At least the Natural Sons' Regiment wasn't making the issue worse.

Their rifles were all compressed air and magic powered, so they didn't give off the signature white smoke of a black powder firearm.
