Lu Nan transmigrated, becoming a nobleman—though his territory was so small it couldn't even be found on a map, and his debts were enough to crush a demon. Just when he thought his life in this other world would be a choice between "bankruptcy" and "being stripped of his title," he picked up… well, or rather, was "picked up" by a girl? This girl, who called herself the "Book Witch," was incredibly knowledgeable but had zero common sense, possessed explosive combat power but was too lazy to fight, and her greatest hobby was immersing herself in piles of books, and she justifiably treated Lu Nan as her "personal mobile bookshelf and meal ticket."

“Lunan, Chapter Thirteen, Section Four of this book mentions a solution to your territory’s predicament, but the book is too heavy. Could you bring it to me?”

"Lunan, a monster? Wait, let me check which bestiary contains information about this kind of monster's weaknesses..."

Thus, Lu Nan's adventure began with becoming a page to the witch! While paying off his debts and searching for treasure, he also had to replenish the "new books" for this living library.

This is a lighthearted (?) adventure story about a young nobleman and a knowledgeable witch who travel to another world together, using "books" and "wisdom" (and a tiny bit of martial arts) to explore!

When Loran woke up, he found himself to be a desolate baron in the most barren border of another world.

They were faced with a dilapidated, drafty castle, a dozen or so emaciated villagers, barren saline land, and the faint green glow of wolves in the wilderness.

The kingdom's nobles viewed him as a laughingstock, and surrounding powers coveted his small population.

There are no magical artifacts given away by the system, no treasures left by predecessors, only a knowledgeable mind from the modern world, and a stubbornness that will never bow to fate.

When orcish hooves shattered the southern plains, and infighting among nobles eroded the kingdom's foundations, Ryan Green, from another world, inherited the remote Eaglebeak Valley. Here, there was no fertile land, no loyal army, only a group of serfs struggling to survive and crumbling city walls.

In chaotic times, survival is the only rule. Ryan knew that relying solely on cold weapons and feudal constraints would ultimately reduce him to food for orcs or a pawn in the power struggles of nobles. He took up two "weapons": steam and gunpowder.

He used steam engines to drive forging hammers, stamping out indestructible iron armor; he used sulfur and saltpeter to develop cannons that shook the battlefield. He broke the aristocracy's monopoly on knowledge, teaching soldiers to read and navigate, and had serfs cultivate land and train soldiers, building an iron defense line in barren valleys.

Faced with the savage charges of the orcish legions, he constructed death traps with giant ballistae and gunpowder mines; dealing with the nobility's attempts to win him over and their schemes, he accumulated wealth by exporting iron armor, demonstrating the confidence of "neutrality" through his strength. From being forced to defend to actively expanding, from an unknown lord to Earl Green, he proceeded step by step, transforming a remote valley into the only safe haven in a chaotic world.

As the northern nobles' rebellion tore the kingdom apart, and as the eastern orcs brewed an even greater storm, Ryan stood before the steam-powered workshop, gazing at the armored army arrayed in formation, his eyes gleaming with ambition: "Chaos is not the end, but an opportunity to reshape order. This southern land will ultimately be dominated by steel and steam."

This is a story about using technology to break the shackles of feudalism and using strength to rise in a chaotic world.

I, Richard, am a wandering knight without a fief. Five years after transmigrating, I finally have my own fief, but it is merely a desolate and uninhabited pioneer territory.

Not only was it incredibly desolate, a complete wasteland, but countless orc tribes also occupied this wilderness.

He held the Expeditionary Order in his left hand and picked up his sword in his right, surveying the desolate territory and muttering to himself.

"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice. Will I ever be able to reach the other side?"

Unfortunately, no one answered the question; only countless orc leaders bowed their heads in fear, praying silently in their hearts.

"We're just here for a meeting, what's wrong with this bastard now...?"

Lu Chuan, a modern civil engineer, unexpectedly transmigrates into the body of a deposed prince exiled to a barren land. Faced with saline wasteland and a desperate populace, he vows to create life in this desolate place. He gains trust with a shallow well, defeats a village bully with fishing traps, and discovers astonishing mineral deposits in the barren mountains. When powerful external enemies lurk, Lu Chuan uses his extraordinary wisdom to lead his people to independence. Caravans come and go, brick kilns rise, and disillusioned martial artists lend a helping hand; he embarks on an unprecedented path of infrastructure development in this wild land.

Lords + nobles + armies + conquest + magic + knights + orcs + elves + dwarves + dragons + giants + hobbits + demons + Middle-earth, emperors, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and the protagonist.

Introduction to the continent of Atlas

The continent of Atlas is vast and rife with conflict. Its core of power is the Augustan Empire, an ancient kingdom ruled by humans and ruled by noble fiefdoms. The empire's territory is expansive, but imperial power is unprecedentedly weak due to an aging king and an unresolved succession issue. True power lies in the hands of eight hereditary marquises, who vie for control of their own territories, forming alliances and maneuvering between "royalistism," "neutrality," and "separatism," posing a severe challenge to the empire's unity.

Other intelligent races and civilizations on the continent are equally important: the Elven Empire in the west lives in seclusion in the Eversong Forest, guarding ancient magical secrets; the Dwarven Empire has established a magnificent underground kingdom beneath the Broken Blade Mountains, and its people are excellent craftsmen and miners; the Orc Empire in the Crimson Wasteland in the east worships strength and has been fighting against humans for thousands of years; the Swamp Kingdom in the Weeping Swamp in the southeast is mysterious and xenophobic, believing in the life force of corruption; the sea creatures of the Ocean Kingdom rule the endless deep blue; and the legendary giants, dragons and other ancient beings remain aloof, quietly observing the changes of the world.

Currently, the continent is on the eve of transformation. Within the Augustus Empire, the "magical steam engine" technological revolution initiated by Leon von Hohenzollern is challenging the traditional magical power system represented by Elisa Windsor. The clash between old and new forces, intertwined with imperial succession, noble intrigue, and racial grudges, is about to unleash a sweeping wave of destiny across this ancient land.

I am a useless person, lacking talent and perseverance. Morally corrupt and incredibly lazy. Finally, I committed an unforgivable crime. But one way out remains: to receive God's grace, become His messenger, and be reborn as an angel to fight for the Church of the Breath of the Sun. It seems I still have a chance to try... Wait, you said the church's reborn angels are all women! No way! Don't I have any other paths to choose from?! This is a story with a dark background but a surprisingly lighthearted plot.

Luo Lan transmigrated. Armed with a deck of cards that possessed almost omniscience and the ability to summon historical figures, he arrived in this strange world teeming with extraordinary life. Gnolls, centaurs, elves, griffins… Just as the three great empires were entering a period of chaos, the era transitioning from the Middle Ages to the modern era, the situation was turbulent, and heroes rose up everywhere. Relying on the almost supernatural abilities of his deck, Luo Lan proclaimed: "A true man dwells between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long!" —————————————— PS: Low-magic Western fantasy, a world of constant conflict between multiple races, with technology roughly equivalent to the 16th-17th century, where cold and firearms coexist, and magic is rare but powerful; the core plot revolves around building an elite army by summoning great figures from the real world. The protagonist is more of a commander, possessing considerable personal combat strength, but primarily relies on…
