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.

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.

Join Poul and Jonathan on their journey to become the wealthiest men in the world in a parallel universe where anything is possible.

Carl Benz

Two minutes earlier, Carl Benz was strolling around the fair, looking for something that might pique his interest. However, it was all but disappointing as most of the mechanical contraptions displayed in the Machinery Hall were nothing but a display with no practical use.

He had traveled all the way from Germany to witness new technologies made by other countries, and seeing those lifeless machines only made him more determined to showcase something revolutionary himself. As he walked down the aisle, he noticed a small crowd gathered around a peculiar machine. Curiosity piqued, he made his way over to see what all the fuss was about.

To his surprise, it was an automobile. The body of the car was made of shiny metal, with long, sweeping lines that gave it a sense of speed even when it was standing still. The wheels were large and spoked, with wide tires that looked like they could handle any terrain.
