An engineer was killed in a firey death one day, sending him off to a strange and unknown world, full of medieval human civilizations, ones that relied more on magic than technology. The only thing brought with him was his min and his knoweldge. Placed into a strange and foreign role, his only hope to starve off his hunger for his original home is to invent and create technology that this world has never seen the likes of, and to avoid another horrible death.
This fiction is more a response to all of others in the "reincarnation/transportation" genre, where the main character would usually not bother to try to implement technology or orther modern concepts from Earth to their new world. I know that there are some out there, but I've been wanting to try my own hand at this.
Another thing that this fiction has is the realistic tone that I'm striving for. Nothing will be made out of thin air, everything is either logical or has some plot relevance. Due to this, there are also absolutely zero litRPG genre elements featured; nobody will be grossly overpowered nor will any characters improve via "stats".
There is no set release schedule that I am keeping up with, but I try to release a chapter once every one to two weeks. I make a point to make each chapter of decent size.
Some profanity is scattered throughout.
