The Rise of Ashborn [Kingdom Building / Weak to Strong Progression]
Civil engineer Arthur Vance was two days away from marrying the love of his life when a truck ended his future.
Instead of death, he awakens in the body of Oliver Ashborn—a frail thirteen-year-old noble who has just survived an assassination attempt.
His new reality is worse than death.
The once-powerful Ashborn family is collapsing. Their mines are exhausted. Their roads are mud. Their territory is drowning in debt. And powerful enemies are already circling.
But Arthur isn’t a noble.
He’s an engineer.
Armed with the knowledge of physics, chemistry, and structural engineering, Arthur begins to analyze this new world’s greatest force—magic.
If mana follows rules, then it can be understood.
If it can be understood, it can be engineered.
And in a world where magic decides power… one mistake could destroy everything.
