Bureaucratic Management Theory

The Fermi Paradox (1)

Why does the universe seem so silent if it harbors countless stars and planets? In The Fermi Paradox, a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration, readers journey from the paradox’s humble beginnings—when Enrico Fermi posed his famous question “Where is everybody?”—to the cutting-edge technologies and theories that might finally yield answers. Through ten meticulously structured chapters, this volume unfolds the paradox from every angle. It begins with the historical and scientific foundations that shaped the early debate, then delves into the staggering scale and probability calculations suggesting we should be surrounded by extraterrestrial civilizations. Readers are guided through the latest astronomical observations—why we see only “great silence” where we once expected cosmic chatter—and introduced to pivotal theories like the Great Filter, the Rare Earth hypothesis, and the darker side of technological evolution. Sociological and economic analyses add human context, revealing how cultural forces might shape our cosmic destiny. Finally, The Fermi Paradox tackles alternative conjectures, from simulated realities to hidden alien probes, before mapping out future directions that blend ethical questions, advanced detection projects, and a synthesis of the most credible scholarly references. For anyone seeking a deep, multifaceted understanding of why our universe appears so quiet, this book offers both clarity and wonder.

Beast Master? More Like Farm Manager!

Eliot never expected to die at the hands of Truck Kun, and certainly never expected to be reincarnated into a world of mystical beast masters, where every human has a unique power and the creatures they command are more dangerous and spectacular than anything he’s seen in his old life. But when the cosmic forces mishandled his reincarnation, Eliot was thrust into a world full of absurdity, chaos, and creatures that can only be described as very much not from Earth. Now, armed with an unpredictable power, a chicken with a superiority complex, and a pig-bird hybrid that can’t stop eating his clothes, Eliot is faced with the ultimate challenge: learning to be a beast master—a title he definitely didn’t ask for. With his so-called mentor, Lyra, being more of a chaotic force of nature than a teacher, Eliot has to navigate a world where beast battles, magical creatures, and the constant risk of being eaten by something with teeth the size of his head are just part of the daily grind. The guilds are bureaucratic, the creatures are way too smart for their own good, and his powers make him the target of both allies and enemies. Along the way, Eliot will try (and fail) to make sense of his new life, face off against absurdly strong opponents, and attempt to actually get his beasts to follow basic commands—while somehow managing not to destroy the world in the process. Will Eliot ever find a way to use his powers without causing absolute chaos? And more importantly, will he ever get to sleep through the night without being woken up by an overly smug chicken?

Exiled to a Foreign Land: Managing a Destitute Estate

Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince. Even as he scrambles to rebuild his estate’s fortunes—grappling with contaminated land, mounting debts, and shrewed industrialists—he unearths troubling secrets about the original Philip’s heartbreak and suicide. A dark, hidden force seems intent on wiping him out for an unknown reason. As conspiracies emerge linking Lady Rosetta’s departure to these shadowy machinations, Philip struggles to separate ally from adversary, not knowing why this power in high places is so bent on destroying him. Meanwhile, the realm teeters on the brink of monumental change. Technological and social revolutions collide with century-old magical traditions, and war drums thunder on the distant borders. Armed with his modern knowledge of finance—now fused with the kingdom’s burgeoning industrial innovations—Philip attempts to ride the trends and transform his estate into a beacon of prosperity and secure his heirship to the ducal title. Yet each small triumph only attracts more enemies. Tasked by the System with cultivating a supernatural entity while uncovering the real reason behind Lady Rosetta’s canceled engagement and the original Philip’s tragic end, he must also shield those he grows to care about from the looming threats. Will he harness the synergy of magic, technology, and commerce to steer his estate toward greatness, or will malevolent forces quash his second chance at life? Will his second chance at life end the same tragic way as his first?

Aegis Europa: Chronicles of the Celestial Accord

In the year 2025, a cataclysmic celestial event fractures the boundaries between worlds. The entire European Union—its land, people, infrastructure, and institutions—is mysteriously transported to *Eldryth*, a realm of floating continents, ancient magic, and warring feudal kingdoms. Overnight, 27 member states and 450 million citizens find themselves stranded in a world where dragons rule the skies, enchanted forests harbor sentient beasts, and political power is measured in mana crystals rather than euros. The EU’s founding principles of unity, democracy, and human rights clash violently with Eldryth’s arcane hierarchies and blood-oath loyalties. Chancellor *Lira Voss*, a pragmatic German leader, and *High Magister Kaelan Thorne*, a cunning elven sorcerer-regent, become unlikely adversaries—and reluctant allies—as they navigate a precarious peace. While EU engineers scramble to adapt renewable energy grids to run on elemental ley lines, Polish cavalrymen trade tactics with griffin riders, and Italian chefs reinvent pasta using *voidshroom* flour, darker forces stir. The *Sunderborn*, a cult worshipping the eldritch entity that caused the transmigration, seeks to devour both worlds. *Aegis Europa* blends geopolitical intrigue with high fantasy, exploring questions of cultural assimilation, technological vs. magical progress, and whether a bureaucratic superpower can survive sword-and-sorcery diplomacy. As the EU’s Parliament debates trade pacts with merfolk city-states and NATO mages duel necromancer warlords, one truth becomes clear: the only way home is to forge a new *Celestial Accord*… or watch both realms collapse into chaos.

IT'S ALL F***ING LEWDS?! Main release day: Monday. What to expect: Some light management, a status system in the background, some slavery, wholesome lewding centered around the MC, a slice of life story and loads of lovely monster girls. What NOT to expect: Depictions of rape, mindbreak or abusive mind control, NTR, heavy sexual abuse and other heavy stuff. The title is not a "bait", but please don't expect fully devoted "hot" chapters every other release. It all depends on the flow of the story (which is still a Slice of Life) and might come to a moment where stuff may happen often, but not all the time.
