Creating an Industrial Empire in 19th Century Parallel World

In a tragic accident, mechanical engineer Poul Nielsen and his best friend, civil engineer Jonathan Axelsen, are killed when a truck crashes into the coffee shop where they were hanging out. Suddenly, they find themselves transmigrated to a parallel world in the late 19th-century country of Avalonia. In this world, they'll need to work tirelessly to earn enough pennies to survive. But they won't settle for just getting by - they want to become the Edison, the Chrysler, the Rockefeller, the Carnegie, the Ford, and the Westinghouse of this new world. In a world without electricity, Poul and Jonathan decide to start an electric power distribution company. But that's not enough - they also want to build appliances and motors to make their business profitable. They see the opportunity to revolutionize ground transportation, and they start an automotive manufacturing company. They tackle huge infrastructure projects such as metro stations, skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, and dams by starting their own civil engineering firm. They even invest in the arms manufacturing industry. But the road to success won't be easy. Fierce competition awaits them, as robber barons are willing to do everything to crush their competitors. Predator against predator, and government intervention. Poul and Jonathan must use all their engineering expertise and business acumen to navigate this treacherous landscape. Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

A Place to Live for the Whole Week

Poul stepped forward and gazed around the room in awe. The chandelier that hung above illuminated the luxuriousness of the room. He was surrounded by an extravagant four-poster bed, silk curtains that hung from the ceiling, and portraits of important events from centuries past adorning the walls. A feeling of being transported back in time washed over him as he took in the Renaissance-style décor. 

"So this is to be our room?" Poul commented as he sat down on the king-sized bed. He leaned back with his arms spread and he felt a sensation of sinking on his back. "The bed is soft, unlike the ones we have been sleeping on for ages in our office."
