Smith and Wesen: A Modern Blacksmith's Magical Reincarnation

"You're just a Nenner! A glorified blacksmith! You can't possibly stand up against a Zahler's elemental power!" "As if that'll stop me! A Zahler might have the elements under their control, but that won't matter if I have a Seigel-riddled weapon for every occasion!" ⬛⬛⬛ Wesen... the innate power within that allows a person to manipulate the world around them. While it sounded straightforward enough, Rouge still has a lot to learn if he wanted to harness it for his own benefit. Thankfully, being a standard guy with blacksmithing as a hobby had given him a headstart in the new pseudo-medieval world that he now found himself in. In fact, blacksmithing in general is an integral part of his new life and the Wesen-filled wonders that entailed it. It was a good thing too, especially since it would be the one ticket he had to get out of the servitude of the Empire that insisted on grinding him under its heel. With his newfound power of rune-like Seigels at his disposal, Rouge will take the Matheman Empire by storm as he builds his rebellion into a force to be reckoned with. He will ensure that his fellow Nenners will be free from the Empire's oppressive practises, and he sure as hell will do it if it was the last thing he did. Well, that, and he refused to live in a backwater medieval world for longer than he could manage it. His modern sensibilities demanded proper technology, and he was sure that even his half-complete understanding of modern science will give him the edge he needs to take on a literal continent-spanning Empire. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ UPDATES: Daily 19:00 JST Twitter: @ChellyArks

78.1 Ambush

In a world that was barely on the cusp of a renaissance, the concept of machines and industrialization was probably the furthest thing from every common man's mind. Hell, even the most learned scholars of the time probably didn't even know about the power of combustion, let alone the concept of letting machines do the work of a hundred artisans. Then again, with a magical system that puts an emphasis on blacksmiths and artisans through the use of Seigelwork, I wouldn't even be surprised if industrialization wouldn't take root in the first place. A renaissance? Sure. But with a populace that wasn't really pressured by the casualties of a devastating plague, I'm sure that any and all artisinal guilds would horde any and all efficiency innovations they had.

 

Either way, technological progress in this world was utterly fvcked for the next few centuries or so. Wait... Why am I even pondering on this in the first place?
