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.

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.

The Celebration

Five hours had passed since the triumphant demonstration of the Axelsen & Nielsen electric locomotive, and now the industrialist duo was hosting a grand banquet in its honor. The event was attended by a prestigious group of high-ranking officials, including members of the New York Board of Transportation Council, as well as distinguished individuals such as Morgan, Dupont, and Wanderbilt.

The banquet was held in a magnificent ballroom located within the impressive office building that Axelsen & Nielsen had constructed. The space was grand in scale, with towering ceilings and ornate moldings that spoke to the duo's commitment to luxury and grandeur. The walls were adorned with elaborate tapestries depicting scenes of historic importance, and crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a soft and ethereal glow over the room.
