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 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 Private Military Company

Two days later, Poul and Amelia arrived at the Port of New York. Walking down the gangway, they set foot on solid ground, officially disembarking from the ship. They looked around as if looking for someone. 

"There they are!" Amelia pointed her fingers to the distance.

"Where?" Poul looked to where Amelia was pointing, and there were Jonathan and Caroline, standing by the automobile, waving their hands at them.

They quickly head towards the two.

"Just in time!" Jonathan exclaimed enthusiastically. "We've been eagerly waiting for your arrival. You must have so many stories to share! So how did it go? Did the Sauds accept the proposal…" 

Jonathan trailed off, his enthusiastic voice fading into concern as his gaze fixated on something he had noticed on Poul's face. Furrowing his brow, he interrupted himself mid-sentence, unable to ignore the peculiar sight any longer.
