Tinkers

When Caleb, a modern-day tinkerer, is unexpectedly pulled from 2024 into the wilds of 1810 Indiana, survival becomes more than just a struggle—it becomes a test of invention and wit. Armed with nothing but the futuristic gadgets in his bag and a mind full of modern knowledge, he must navigate an untamed land teeming with dangers both natural and human. As he wrestles with the challenge of building a life from the remnants of his old world and the raw materials of this new one, Caleb faces relentless struggles—both internal and external. From uneasy alliances with indigenous tribes to clashes with settlers, each step forward teeters between ingenuity and peril. As isolation sets in and the forest becomes his only constant companion, Caleb must use every ounce of his tinkering skills to build a sanctuary and survive. But when strange encounters and forces beyond his control threaten to upend everything, Caleb’s path through this forgotten era becomes a race against time. Can he master the elements and his own doubts before the past consumes him? In this thrilling survival tale, the wilderness isn't just a backdrop—it's a battleground for the mind and spirit, where every decision can mean life or death.

Ruin hunters are people who delve into the deeps, people who explore forbidden magic and ancient artifacts that had been left behind after the great calamity over 900 years ago. The strange phenomenon caused the world of Elvendoria as we know it to change and grow along side us, creating domains out of thin air that would be deemed as hazardous to villagers. My whole life I wanted to be like a certain Ruin hunter, the one who saved everyone from the Calamity all those years ago, Gerard. A hero who pointed his swords to the heavens as he finally faced off against the demon king. "'My body may be battered and broken! It may be filled with scars from battle, but I wear them with pride knowing that no matter what happens I'll never have a scar on my back! For I always face my foes!" His words of bravery echoed into the future, and a young elf took the mantles of his soul and his courage, a kid that would sprint head first into the future, shouting his god given name to the heavens as soon to be known, Kaluar, the tinkerer of legends. This is my story, on how I became a Ruin hunter.

“And when they asked me what my favorite time of the day was, I smiled, remembering the bright moon, glimmering stars, dark, black sky and replied-…” The movement of my hand stopped, my pen stopping right in the middle of the blank, off white paper when a cold shiver ran down my spine, making me shudder involuntarily as I clutched the furry woolen jacket closer to my body. “And you say you love winter.” The old woman looked at me through her dark eyes that glowed in the orange-yellow light of the electric heater set up in my room. “I do. ‘I close my eyes and the cold is a cloud that envelops history. Sorrow is ancient.’” I quoted. “ It’s dark. It’s mysterious. Absolutely beauti-“ “Dead. It’s dead.” She deadpanned, giving me an unimpressed look when I rolled my eyes and decided to ignore like I had been for the past half an hour. * * * What happens when a girl tries to venture into places she isn't supposed to?

Kozimer was skilled. He was accomplished. He was the youngest man to ever be promoted as a General of the Golden Empire since science had managed to extend human life into the 900s instead of the paltry 80 something several millennia ago. As such, being one of the most capable pilots and quick thinkers, he had been given the 'honor' of taking a four-year test run on the Empires sleek, shining, and new spacecraft that was capable of extended missions into deep space with only a one man crew. The downside of a single man mission was boredom. Boredom had led to tinkering, and tinkering had accidentally led to what ended up being the most advanced AI system to be born. Unfortunately, said AI was an asshole. ----------------------------------------------- BL, shounen-ai, danmei slash WARNING
