"If magic is power, then I'll build my own." - Adrian.
When a genius tech developer dies from overworking, he awakens in a world ruled by magic, ancient empires, and mythical beasts.
But unlike the natives who manipulate elemental mana, he is granted a mysterious technology system that lets him reconstruct modern and futuristic tech.
Armed with the knowledge of his old world and this game-like system, he begins to revolutionize the magic world. But his rise threatens the very foundation of society, drawing the attention of kings, mages, and forbidden powers that ought not to be offended.
As nations clash and secrets unfold, one question remains:
Can technology coexist with magic… or will one destroy the other?

Alright, it's time I follow in on the shameless tradition of leaving a 5-star review for your work. *cough*, *cough*, totally unbiased for sure. But hey, while I'm here, I figured I'd use this space to answer some questions about the story, the MC, and what exactly you're getting into. So, spend some time and scroll through. >>So... what's this book about? Basically, it follows a boy named Adrian, a former overworked engineer who dies in his previous world, only to wake up as a baby in a world full of magic, nobles, magical beasts, and kingdoms. But! Against all expectations, Adrian fails his magical awakening and is declared a Dud! >>The heck! What's so special about him if he can't use magic? From the book's name, I assumed you'd have figured that out already. When it seems all is lost for Adrian, a system awakens inside him. Not one for magic though… but one for technology. >>Nah, what's so special about that? You see, the world Adrian found himself in is actually pretty backward. And suddenly, Adrian's dreams of building things and shaping the world becomes very, very real. >>Hmm, I'm getting in on something... But, so he just builds stuff for people? That seems kinda lame. Nope. The system allows him to do far more. He combines mana and technology to build groundbreaking tech, and even make himself strong enough to face the dangers and wild adventures this fantasy world throws at him. >>Alright, alright. So what's the guy like? Adrian's not your typical loud-mouthed hero. He's quiet and calculating in all his actions. While his personality won't reveal itself too much in the early chapters, trust me, the more you read, the more of him you'll see. >>Okay, are you sure you won't drop this novel though? I've had this novel brewing in my head for a long time. And with your support, I believe I'll be able to fulfill my dream of writing this story all the way to the end. So, go on. Start reading. And hey, if you've got any more questions, hit the comment section. I'll be hanging out there too. Thank you! :)
