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.

The Workers Learning it

Meanwhile, in Paris, Amelia and Timothy were conducting their usual daily work until a newspaper was handed out by one of the employees.

"Ms. Weiss, Mr. Anderson, you might want to see this," he said.

Amelia and Timothy checked the newspaper that was handed to them and the moment they saw the headlines, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Mr. Nielsen is caught in a scandal by kidnapping the daughter of the British Prime Minister, Penelope Ascart…" Timothy spoke. 

"Further investigation shows that Penelope Ascart was forced to take a new identity as a nurse working for the Axelsen and Nielsen Company. Though there hasn't been any contact with Penelope, it is certain that Poul Nielsen, the founder, was the sole responsible for deceiving the entire population of the British Empire. He is currently being held in London for the crimes he committed," Amelia finished.
