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.

AN-M1

April 18, 882.

The day of Friday has arrived, meaning the industrialist duo will demonstrate the new rifle they have developed for the United States Military. It took Jonathan two months to build fifteen working rifles, an incredible feat. 

At Pittsburgh North Park, military officials from the United States of Avalonia arrived, shaking hands with their fellow servicemen before taking their respective seats on a row of empty chairs. Prominent individuals such as John Morgan, General William Sherman, and Caroline Dupont are in the scene, waiting for the two industrialist duo to begin.

Speaking of the industrialist duo, Jonathan and Poul were in a tent, preparing themselves for the demonstration. Though, that should be what's happening. 

Jonathan paced back and forth nervously. Poul, who was reading the manual for the M1 Garand couldn't help but get distracted from Jonathan's uneasiness.
