I Just Want A Peaceful Life

While the criminal was brutally killing me, my dad, the head of the criminal investigation division, and my mom, the chief forensic pathologist, were attending my brother Matthew Lambert’s match. In a bid for revenge, the criminal, who had once been captured by my dad, cut out my tongue and used my phone to call him. My dad only said one thing before hanging up. "No matter what’s going on, Matthew’s match is the top priority today!" The criminal sneered, "Seems I’ve kidnapped the wrong person. I thought they would love their biological son more!" At the crime scene, my parents were shocked by the brutal state of the body and condemned the cruelty of the killer. However, they did not realize that the horrifically mutilated corpse was their own son.

The world of Nokstrella operates on two rules: Magic belongs to the highborn, and peasants exist to bleed. When Earth-born physicist Arthur Flores transmigrates into the body of a starving sixteen-year-old boy, he is faced with a terrifying reality—his sister is being dragged to a sacrificial altar, his mother is coughing up black blood, and heavily armored knights are preparing to slaughter his village for tax evasion. But Arthur soon discovers a world-breaking secret: "Magic" is just a volatile energy state. It obeys the laws of thermodynamics, physics, and chemistry. Armed with a mind of modern science and an artificial Aetheric Core, Arthur will not run. He will weaponize the arcane, build an ironclad industrial fortress from the dirt, and wage a brutal war against a corrupt kingdom, the Holy Inquisition, and the eldritch horrors of the Abyss. They wanted a blood tithe. Arthur will give them an industrial revolution.

"You're nothing but a dog chasing after women who would rather spit on you than look at you." That was the last thing Maxver Cole heard before his five beast wives walked out the door, laughing, rushing into the arms of another man without a single glance back. They expected him to crawl.

All of them stunning. All matched at one hundred percent compatibility, a number the staff had never seen in nineteen years. The women who threw him away stopped laughing real quick. "You divorced a monster," the world told his new wives. They walked through his door anyway.
