Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince. Even as he scrambles to rebuild his estate’s fortunes—grappling with contaminated land, mounting debts, and shrewed industrialists—he unearths troubling secrets about the original Philip’s heartbreak and suicide. A dark, hidden force seems intent on wiping him out for an unknown reason. As conspiracies emerge linking Lady Rosetta’s departure to these shadowy machinations, Philip struggles to separate ally from adversary, not knowing why this power in high places is so bent on destroying him. Meanwhile, the realm teeters on the brink of monumental change. Technological and social revolutions collide with century-old magical traditions, and war drums thunder on the distant borders. Armed with his modern knowledge of finance—now fused with the world’s burgeoning industrial innovations—Philip attempts to ride the trends and transform his estate into a beacon of prosperity and secure his heirship to the ducal title. Yet each small triumph only attracts more enemies. Tasked by the System with cultivating a supernatural entity while uncovering the real reason behind Lady Rosetta’s canceled engagement and the original Philip’s tragic end, he must also shield those he grows to care about from the looming threats. Will he harness the synergy of magic, technology, and commerce to steer his estate toward greatness, or will malevolent forces quash his second chance at life? Will his second chance at life end the same tragic way as his first?

In 2038, Alterra Robotics discovers a portal to a world untouched by modern industry, rich with magic, ancient creatures, and civilizations that have never heard of a megacorporation. To conquer this untouched land and resources, they deployed hundreds of thousands of androids as they slowly entrenched themselves in the world's history, undoubtedly changing the trajectory of their future. Alongside them are android inspectors—human employee who are tasked to evaluate their robotic workforces. Kusunoki Sakuta, one of Alterra's top android inspectors, is reassigned to Vernheit: a European-inspired nation on the continent of Caelum, home to Eisen Blut, Alterra's oldest and most powerful subsidiary. His job is straightforward. Evaluate the androids. Assess their performance, their mental stability, their physical condition. File the report. Go home. Most inspectors do exactly that. But Sakuta treated them as more than walking humanoid constructs. It's a habit that's earned him a reputation—and, apparently, a reassignment to one of the most politically significant postings on the continent. Alongside his corporate duty, he will also learn that... ... Perhaps being transported to an alternate fantasy world isn't as easy as it sounds. (Content Warning: May contain strong language, suggestive content, and graphic depictions of violence.)

[Book One in The Foreign Prince Trilogy] Crown Prince Theo Veles of Aegia has no desire to be on the throne- or, more precisely, he is not desired to be on the throne. Gravely ill, Theo spends his days in bed, eating nothing but soup and reading the same books over and over again, with no one but his servant checking up on him. He is due to die in a week. On the night Theo is expected to die, he escapes the castle through his bedroom window with the help of a rather friendly spy from the nearby kingdom of Chidora and finds himself in the world beyond the castle gates he never thought he would see. But life is not easy for a prince, especially when you've been told the parents who have raised you aren't your actual parents.

With the help of the spy and a chance meeting with one of the most talented spearmen the continent of lserin has to offer, Theo embarks on a quest that involves perilous danger, heartwarming friendship, and truths about the two he travels with that may be more shocking than his own past.
