All he wanted was to drive home and speedrun the game before the DLC dropped. Then came the crash, a warm light, and nothing—until he woke up as Wolfgang, a poor knight from a minor noble family in the Holy Roman Empire. He thought he knew this world. However, once a butterfly flaps its wings, no one can predict where the storm will go; this world doesn't follow the game's script. Nobles plot in the dark, and being the smartest person in the room means nothing when steel decides the argument. To survive the filth and chaos of medieval life, he has no choice but to lean on a mysterious system that hands him quests, money, and access to a shop packed with skills, manuals, and items he could never have gotten otherwise. He refuses to just stand by and watch history be written without him. With modern knowledge, he will use every resource, building a loyal army, amassing wealth, and carving out the strongest empire ever with his own hands.

Então veio a batida, uma luz quente e nada—até ele acordar como Wolfgang, um cavaleiro pobre de uma família nobre menor no Sacro Império Romano. Ele achava que conhecia este mundo. No entanto, uma vez que uma borboleta bate as asas, ninguém pode prever para onde a tempestade irá; este mundo não segue o roteiro do jogo. Nobres conspiram nas sombras, e ser a pessoa mais inteligente da sala não significa nada quando o aço decide a discussão.

Com conhecimento moderno, ele usará todos os recursos, construindo um exército leal, acumulando riqueza, e construindo o império mais forte de todos os tempos com suas próprias mãos.

A thousand years of history. One infinite library. No way home. When a modern-day engineer wakes up in the damp, freezing solar of a 12th-century manor, he finds himself trapped in the body of Thomas, a minor noble with a failing reputation and a wife who despises him.

All he has is the smartphone in his pocket—invisible to everyone else, perpetually charged, and still connected to the internet of 2026. In a world where a simple infection is a death sentence and the Church’s word is law, Thomas must use the sum of human knowledge to survive. From implementing basic germ theory to discovering hidden silver veins and forging high-carbon steel, he begins a quiet revolution from the mud up.

In the end, they’ll join forces to cripple and torture you to death!] [Uncle, you’ll be betrayed by an ungrateful subordinate and driven out of your own luxurious home, left to freeze to death in the snow!] [Grandpa… Grandma…] In the original story, only her young aunt—the novel’s female lead—survives to the very end, killing her enemies with her own hands… only to live on as something neither fully human nor a ghost. Before they can recover from learning their fates, another thought leaks out— [Sigh, the apocalypse is coming soon. As a three-year-old cannon fodder, can I go offline early? I don't want to suffer through the end of the world…] Looking at the little milk dumpling in their arms, pretending to be silly just so she can laze around… What else can the Bai family do but spoil her?

Step by step, the Bai family rises to power. In the end, Yunyun is dumbfounded: [Wait… wasn't I supposed to be cannon fodder?! Why does this feel like a "pampered lucky baby" story?!] The Bai family: Their little Yunyun is, indeed, their precious lucky baby.
