摘要

Magnus Valorion crossed into an ancient empire. As a time traveler, he didn’t accomplish anything too extraordinary. He simply ensured that laborers could drink white rice porridge and eat pickled vegetables every day, and that soldiers could enjoy fried chicken and hamburgers. Along the way, he expanded the territory and even captured the invading Khan of the Altai Tribe. Despite these achievements, Magnus never imagined that his subordinates were secretly planning something big as the autumn winds began to cool...

Chapter 1At the Beginning of the Journey

That evening, Magnus Valorion failed another interview, walking down the street dejectedly. Suddenly, he saw a four- or five-year-old girl slip away from her family's sight and run into the busy street.

 

By the time the girl's family reacted, she was already in the middle of the road, too short to be seen by the drivers. Several speeding cars nearly hit her.

 

Seeing that the girl was about to be struck by an out-of-control truck, Magnus was desperate and rushed out without hesitation. In the crowd, he moved like a yellow lightning bolt, diving towards the girl. Just as the truck was inches away, Magnus grabbed her. Immediately, he felt a massive impact and was flung into the air.

 

In that split second, Magnus somehow found the strength to throw the girl towards her family. She landed safely in her family's arms, while Magnus tumbled through the air and landed heavily on the ground, only to be run over by the truck.

 

The girl's family quickly covered her eyes to shield her from the horrific scene. The concerned onlookers immediately restrained the driver, and soon the traffic police arrived at the scene to investigate the serious accident.

 

When Magnus woke up again, he found himself lying in a pile of straw, his whole body burning with pain. The unfamiliar surroundings confused him—was this a dream or the beginning of another world?

 

The sharp pain, like being cut with a knife, made Magnus cry out. "Damn it, I actually survived?" "I remember being hit by that overloaded, out-of-control truck. Did the doctors manage to save me?"

 

Just as Magnus was filled with doubts, a man with a rat-like face, resembling Suneo from "Doraemon," quickly approached.

 

Seeing Magnus awake, the man burst into tears, crying uncontrollably as if he had lost his father. "Young master, you're finally awake. You were attacked by bandits on the road and knocked out, you've been unconscious for three days and two nights."

 

"If you didn't wake up, I wouldn't know what to do!"

 

Magnus, extremely weak, felt his mouth parched and used all his strength to weakly call out, "Galen Veritas... water... water..."

 

Strangely, Magnus, who had just crossed over, was able to accurately call out the name of the rat-faced man in front of him.

 

Galen, hearing the call, immediately took out a leather water bag from his body and carefully fed water to Magnus.

 

After drinking the water, slightly relieving his thirst, the weakness returned from deep within his stomach. "Hungry... hungry... Galen." Magnus weakly called out.

 

Seeing this, Galen quickly took out a black, hard pancake from his arms. He broke off small pieces of the pancake and fed them to Magnus.

 

The black, hard pancake was tasteless when it entered his mouth, but as it dissolved in his saliva, a bitter, earthy flavor filled Magnus's nose.

 

If Magnus had any strength, he would have spat out the disgusting pancake.

 

Galen, seeing Magnus's discomfort, quickly explained, "Young master, we have no choice. Our family property was taken by that scoundrel Light Leaf. The money I had was only enough to buy this pancake made of black rye flour and chalk."

 

Magnus nodded slightly, thinking, "No wonder this pancake tastes so earthy. It's mixed with chalk."

 

The next moment, Magnus began to feel sorrow for his future. What kind of place and era had he crossed into, where they had to mix chalk with flour to make food?

 

Cursing the unfairness of heaven, he thought, "No good deed goes unpunished. I saved that little girl's life and ended up in such a wretched place."

 

Galen, unaware of his master's thoughts, continued to break off pieces of the black pancake and feed them to Magnus.

 

After eating more of the pancake, Magnus felt a little stronger.

 

He then noticed he was actually on a slowly moving ox cart. Out of curiosity, he asked Galen beside him, "Galen... where are we going now?"

 

Galen, thinking his young master had lost his memory due to the bandits' attack, began to cry again.

 

"Young master, have you forgotten? You've been exiled to the northern frontier to serve as a Sheriff, and we were robbed by bandits on the way. All our belongings were taken."

 

Hearing Galen explain the cause of his injury and their destination, a torrent of memories flooded Magnus's mind.

 

Magnus had crossed into another world, where civilization was still two thousand years behind. The country he crossed into was similar to ancient Rome, but with many differences.

 

Magnus was born into a fallen noble family, lost his father at a young age, and joined the army at seventeen. He made significant contributions in the war and was assigned to Falcon City as an Aedile. He should have had a bright future and a successful official career.

 

However, after taking office, Magnus did not send gifts, curry favor, or seek protection from the current Chancellor, Alp Arslan, earning his resentment.

 

With the old Emperor of Nova Latium Imperium being incompetent and doting on a witch consort, Alp Arslan easily persuaded the Emperor to exile Magnus to the frontier, making him a small Sheriff in Green River Town.

 

However, Alp Arslan was not satisfied and sent bandits to kill Magnus on the way. Fortunately, Magnus had a strong fate and survived with the help of his servant Galen.

 

The northern frontier was bordered by the Altai Tribe to the north, the Tuareg Tribe to the south, the Celtic Tribe to the west, and the Sami Tribe to the east. Green River Town, where Magnus was headed, was a place of constant battles.

 

If any tribe attacked, Magnus and the people of Green River Town could be caught in the chaos, possibly losing their lives, which was part of Alp Arslan's plan.

 

Magnus felt pity for the person he had become.

 

"Oh, if only this guy had gone to curry favor, maybe I would be living a luxurious life in the capital now!" Magnus thought bitterly.

 

But it wasn't entirely the original Magnus's fault. The corrupt Chancellor Alp Arslan was too greedy, demanding at least ten thousand taels in bribes just to gain access to him.

 

Born into a fallen noble family with little property, it was difficult for Magnus to gain access to Alp Arslan.

 

"Alas! Damn it. Am I really going to die in this remote place right after crossing over?"

 

"Others cross over to become noble lords or get tenfold or hundredfold returns. Why do I get a hellish start?"

 

"Damn, damn, damn..." Magnus cursed continuously in his heart.

 

Perhaps heaven heard Magnus's curses, as a mechanical AI voice suddenly sounded in his mind, like Siri.

 

"Ding~ The strongest material support system is loading..."

 

1%

 

2%

 

3%

 

 

100%

 

"Loading successful. Do you want to bind the character now?"

 

"Bind, bind, quickly bind..." Magnus shouted excitedly.

A Time Traveller's Guide to Feudal Japan

Do people chase greatness, or does greatness chase us? A.I. genius, Gengyo, through the assistance of SAPPHIRE attains the means to time travel. He seeks a simpler life, and wishes to experience the warmth of a family. But often we do not get what we want, we get what we deserve. And his peaceful times soon end, as war storms Japan, and in order to protect his peace, he must conquer. Join Gengyo as he walks a blood-stained path toward absolute domination, seizing control of Japan. //Brief extract from one of the battle scenes. Written from the point of view of a samurai landowner, Niwa Nakatane. The hooves grew closer to Nakatane's position and their beating hearts grew faster. Perhaps they could simply remain like that, hiding behind the tree, and allow these barbarians to pass? That way could they not return home to their families? Could they not give their dear wives one final kiss, or share one final story with their enthusiastic youth? Nakatane knew exactly what they were thinking. And as the ground rumbled, and the mounted beasts howled, he was the first man to step out from the trees and make his stand. "OORAH!" Possessed by a furious energy, he thrust out with all the aggression of a war god, puncturing Ochi's stallion through the chest with the sharpened wooden point of his lengthy spear. The mammoth fell from his mount clumsily, his head colliding with a nearby tree root. He ceased to move, and a pool of blood began to form around him. "ARM THESE SPEARS MEN! VICTORY SHALL BE OURS!" He stood in front of the charge of over 150 horsemen, alone. But he did not give a single inch of ground. He met the charge of the next man in line, roaring vengefully, possessed by all the rage and power that had accumulated in his body over these past years. The horsemen shrieked like a pack of hyenas, fanning out, each eager for a piece of the man who had brought down their leader. //I did not create the book cover. All credits go to the original creator.

TheLastKingdom: Transmigrated w/ Proficiency System

USA, Louisiana.. a small town in north-east Louisiana.. if you see a little-bitty tiny dot with the name 'Oak Grove' beside it.. in the most north-east corner of Louisiana.. fifteen minute drive north.. and you' ve crossed into the state of Arkansas.. Or if you would have drove fifteen minutes east instead of north.. you would have crossed over the Mississippi-Louisiana state line.. so that gives you a pretty good general location of the town of my birth.. Unfortunately it wouldn't be the town of my untimely and unexpected death.. nope.. for I would not die in a town.. no.. I would be eventually crushed.. by a section.. of thirty-two inch.. steel.. heavy-wall.. industrial pipe.. for a natural gas line.. being lay'n.. from just north of the cities.. Odessa and Midland.. of the state of Texas.. Over a thousand miles away from my place of birth.. Bastrop.. Louisiana.. where the closest 'safe' hospital was for me to be born at.. forty miles west.. by north-west from where my family had lived for generations.. Oak Grove.. My family has worked as surveyors.. for pipelines and gas or oil facilities.. being built all across this great country on the continent of North America.. for atleast two generations.. If my children take up the mantle.. that would make.. three generations of my family.. to feed and provide for their families.. working as pipeline surveyors.. see Oak Grove is poor.. poor as dirt.. total population.. barely over two thousand.. average gross income per capita per family for a year.. less than ten thousand dollars a year.. there's just no real paying jobs.. in Oak Grove or anywhere near it.. so while the people who choose to work in Oak Grove make ten thousand dollars a year.. I started out as a 'rod-man' which was the lowest man on the 'totem-pole'.. making what those in Oak grove..worked a year for.. I made in a month.. I did nothing but pack bundles of wooden stakes.. then carry them up the mountains of West Virginia.. Or across the deserts of West Texas.. swamps of south Louisiana.. down around Baton Rouge.. or Tibbedaux.. the Everglades of Florida.. fuck I get that nauseous feeling every time I think of when I 'work'd' there.. I walked up on a dead body without a head.. not long after that.. still on the same project I saw the 'headless' corpse on.. I almost stepped on the biggest python I've ever seen.. the fucker was atleast ten feet long and two to three feet wide around.. Anywho, back to what I was talking back before I went off subject for a bit.. I started out making ten thousand dollars every month.. thats twelve times what I would have earned working a month in Oak Grove.. instead of working in these dangerous jobs.. Been a lot of dangerous places.. dangerous terrains.. working in a very hazardous career.. but I was well paid like I said.. and now I don't have a body left to send home to my parents.. that section of pipe.. weigh tens of thousands of pounds.. when the 'Komoda' excavators that were lifting the section tipped.. that was it.. one of the operators didn't extend his 'boom' on his excavator all the way out like he should have.. Now the pipes falling.. as soon as it lands on me.. thats it.. so much weight.. my head will pop and shoot right of my shoulders.. up in the air towards the heavens themselves.. reaches its peak height of its short flight.. then falling.. all whilst my body will be crushed and explode to nothing but splatter'd meat paste.. ending my first life.. trust I've seen it.. I know what will happen from experience.. and so beings the next chapter of life.. I see a tunnel with bright light radiating from then end of it.. as I reach the light I take the final step.. the blinding light recedes and fades away out of existence.. I find my surroundings returning to a lightness that my eyes can afford to see clearly in.. only to meet another pair of eyes facing me.. everything else is shrouded by darkness.. I see only eyes.. staring at me.. staring into me.. starin
