Jacobian Engineering Mathematics

When Gabriel awakens in a strange and forgotten world, he no longer recognizes himself. Now called Dravyn Skaroth, he is without memories of his previous life but carries vast scientific knowledge in his mind, as if his mind were a library of future eras. This new world, Élaris, is rudimentary, marked by kingdoms in constant conflict, magical creatures, and a wild and untamed nature. Here, magic is real but little understood, used in a rudimentary way by those who do not know its true potential. Dravyn, initially determined to adapt and use his knowledge to thrive in this world, soon encounters human cruelty in its most brutal form. Subjugated and marked by suffering, he sees his ideals crushed. In their place, anger grows, fueled by a desire for revenge and the weight of a remorse that never leaves him. If Élaris and its inhabitants gave him a new chance at life only to condemn him, Dravyn will decide his own redemption. And if they want a monster worse than the demons they fear, that is exactly what they will get. Updated weekly

Nelson was just a simple student and welder, trying to make ends meet when he received a mysterious order that would change his life forever. The request was to weld a massive, 16-foot mech for a beautiful client who wanted to gift it to her scientist grandfather. The catch? She insisted on a design that was as high tech as possible and promised that money was no object. Initially overwhelmed by the complexity of the task, Nelson was on the brink of giving up when, by sheer accident, he activated a strange device—the Super Tech System. Miraculously, the mech was completed, its design sleek, futuristic, and unlike anything Nelson had ever imagined. The real surprise came on the day of the birthday banquet. The mech, which was initially thought to be a mere model, stunned everyone with its flashy design and bold presence. However, when the client saw it in person, she was speechless. "I think I added an extra zero to the height requirement!" she said, unable to comprehend the colossal creation. But things only got crazier. As the guests marveled at the mech, it suddenly came to life. Its engine roared to life, blasting bright blue flames that sent a shockwave of air across the room, knocking everyone off their feet! What began as a simple welding job has turned into something far bigger, and Nelson quickly realizes that this mech—and the strange technology he's tapped into—could alter the course of history. As the world begins to take notice of his creation, Nelson finds himself at the center of a technological revolution, and perhaps even a fight for survival. But is he ready to face the consequences of his newfound power? --- Tags: #Mecha #SciFi #FuturisticTechnology #SuperTechSystem #Welding #Engineering #Action #Adventure #GiantMech #HighTechInventions #TechRevolution #MysteriousDevices #Transformation #GiftOfPower #BirthdaySurprise #SleekDesign #InnovativeTech #GiantRobots #UnexpectedConsequences #ExplosiveAction #TechnologicalBreakthrough #SciFiAdventure #UnlikelyHero #ScienceFiction #AdvancedMecha #AI #TechnologyUnleashed #SciFiWorld #TechGenius #EngineeringMarvel --- Author's Note: Thank you for reading!

In a world far larger than Earth, a cataclysmic event reshapes reality when mysterious towers appear across the continents. These towers, teeming with deadly creatures from other realms, open gateways for beings to emerge—creatures that can only leave their towers for 10 minutes at a time and cannot stray more than 10 feet from them. The appearance of these towers brings both chaos and opportunity. Great treasures, skills, and hidden knowledge lie within, but they come with a price. The world's balance teeters on the edge as these creatures wreak havoc on the land. The protagonist, a dedicated engineer, has spent years preparing for his dream job, only for the emergence of the towers to shatter his carefully laid plans. The once-predictable world is now unpredictable, and the protagonist finds himself thrust into a reality that no one could have foreseen. Along with the towers, adventurers—people who have awakened new traits and abilities—begin to appear. The protagonist, driven by frustration and a thirst for control, decides to forge his own path as an adventurer. With the knowledge he has from his engineering background and the systems granted by the towers, he embarks on a journey to explore the dungeons within the towers, uncover their treasures, and perhaps discover the means to restore order to the world. But the towers are not just a physical challenge—they are tied to the very fabric of reality itself. The protagonist must navigate not only the dangers of otherworldly creatures but also the increasingly fragmented political, geographical, and social conditions that arise from the towers’ presence. Each tower is a world unto itself, with creatures, treasures, and mysteries unique to each, and as the protagonist journeys deeper into these realms, he begins to understand that the towers might hold the key to saving—or destroying—the world. With new skills, powerful allies, and the weight of a crumbling world on his shoulders, the protagonist's quest is clear: survive, adapt, and find a way to confront the strange new system that governs this twisted reality. However, as his power grows, so too does the complexity of the world around him, and the lines between friend and foe blur. The towers’ true purpose is hidden deep within their foundations, and unlocking their secrets may be the only way to reverse the cataclysm—but will the protagonist be able to master the system before it's too late? *Towers of the Awakening* is a thrilling blend of RPG mechanics, world-building, and character development, exploring the tension between order and chaos in a world on the brink of collapse.

Now, hear me out and hear me well: my name is Barogey. I was born into a humble merchant family, and yes, I’m the guy you read about at the start—the one dying. No, I wasn’t reincarnated, and honestly, if I had been, I’d rather not have been. I’m a larger man... okay, let’s not sugarcoat it—I’m kinda chubby. Blame my parents for spoiling me rotten as a kid. I had a younger brother, Louis, who I used to bully, but, uh... I killed him. Long story. Before all that drama, I was a Doctor of Magical Engineering. Then came the prison stint—because, you know, the usual evil villain schtick: kidnapping a princess, taunting her friends, and trying to force a wedding. Before that little escapade, I lived in the human kingdom of Magder. Anyway, now I’m fresh out of prison, shipped off to Tabnoth. Apparently, Vistor thinks throwing all the world’s rejects into one place is a genius plan. But hey, I’m not complaining. As long as this place has a good deli, I’m set.
