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?

T-C-X Beyond

Genre: Sci-fi, Genderbender, Action, Romance, War, Mecha Tags: Hardcore Sci-fi, Genderswap, Yuri, Small/Partial/Harem/s, Omegaverse , GL Target Audience: Male or female On the far flung planet of Atrios V, out in the farthest reaches of the Outer-Rim, there exists an enigmatic flying city called the Colossus. It is one of the few last remaining bastions of humanity after the near extinction of mankind due to the ever-prevalent threat called...the H.E.X. Humanity isn't going down without a fight however, and are constantly developing better starships and other weaponry to tackle what has become...an ever evolving enemy. The most state of the art weapons to emerge in the last millenia is none other than the Titan Exoframe, or...just Exoframe for short; A giant humanoid fighting robot that's more agile than a starship, more versatile than a starfighter, and capable of being crewed by...a single pilot. The only downside: the pilot has to be able to interface with an enigmatic A.I and become one with the machine, and the genetically engineered pilots of the Nobility are the best suited for this role. Enter...eighteen-year-old Hudiya Luffe Arnestria, a young-man on a desperate quest to save his ailing sister, Atilla. His only hope lies in securing a coveted spot at Aldressia Academy, a prestigious military school for Exoframe pilots located on the Colossus. When the noble and beautiful Valencia challenges him to place in the top ten of the entrance exam, Hudiya finds himself entangled in a world of fierce competition; while facing constant threats of sabotage from his ever envious peers. His only way forward...is straight through his competitors. Follow him as he fights for everything he holds dear, while forming cryptic alliances with fellow students and facing betrayal at every turn. (And you get a cute little sister to love and cherish on the side!) What to expect: This is an Alpha-Omega/Omegaverse story (the kind with the crazy pheromones). (( This is not a fanfiction of any kind. Alpha-Omega is basically a genre. This is not a shared universe with any other story. It merely shares a similar genre to those other stories. This is a completely original novel)) This is also a Genderbender/Genderswap story! Has LGBT elements. There is romance. It may have some of the elements of a harem, though that is not the primary element of it. There may be sexual content later on if the site permits it and I feel like it fits the storyline. Target Chapter Length: 10,000 words Target Interlude Length: 2,000 to 4,000 words (Smaller chapters in between the primary chapters that usually are told from the POV of the supporting characters) *Was trying to publish this on RoyalRoad originally, but thats currently pending. We'll see what happens at this point. For right now, it's exclusive to here.
