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 Morning Delight

The morning light seeped into Jonathan's suite, casting a warm glow on the cozy room. Caroline stirred from her slumber, rubbing her eyes and taking a moment to adjust to her surroundings. As she glanced over at her bed, confusion crept over her. "Jonathan?" she mumbled, tilting her head inquisitively.

"I'm here," came Jonathan's calm reply. Caroline's gaze followed the sound of his voice, landing on him hunched over a book, scribbling notes on a piece of paper.

Curiosity piqued, Caroline propped herself up on the bed, her vision clearing as she watched Jonathan engrossed in his work. "What are you doing?" she asked, still a bit groggy.

"I'm working," Jonathan responded, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Sorry if I wasn't beside you when you woke up." 

Caroline shook her head, dismissing his apology. "No, no, it's okay," she said, stretching her limbs and rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "I just didn't expect you to be up so early."
