A modern-day historian uses his knowledge to build an empire in a fantasy medieval world.
A world of magic and feudalism trapped in a technological and cultural standstill. Diseases are seen as curses, blasphemy gets you burned at the stake, and magic is just accepted as a divine gift. Here, summoning heroes from another world isn’t a miracle, it’s just Tuesday.
Enter Alan Gothwald, a young student from a prestigious US history department, and one of those summoned heroes. Turns out, he has zero magic, but he quickly realizes that his knowledge is the ultimate cheat code in this world, something completely advanced and unheard of.
But Alan can’t just jumpstart an industrial revolution or craft firearms; the world itself fights back. He’s facing constant setbacks, divine or political interference, miscalculations, unpredictable twists, and enemies who see him as a threat to the established order.
