Moe, a recent graduate from a prestigious university, is on the hunt for a job when fate takes an unexpected turn. After acing a crucial interview, he finds himself in a life-altering accident that transmigrated him into a Fantasy world. After transmigration, instead of gaining extraordinary powers, he awakens in the body of Arthur Jr., an incompetent king ruling over the small kingdom of Keldoria. In a realm where magic is commonplace, Arthur Jr. is unable to wield any magic abilities, leaving him at a significant disadvantage. However, armed with the authority of a king and the knowledge of modern society he will transform the small kingdom of Keldoria into a advance nation where technology and magic coexist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----Disclaimer------- This is a pure kingdom-building story that emphasizes the economy and technological advancements of a nation rather than magic or the strength of a single individual. This is also a slow-progression story(Slow burn!!!), focusing on governance, development, and strategy. While the pacing may feel slow, I will ensure that each chapter remains engaging and immersive. Readers who prefer fast-paced stories with an overpowered protagonist from the start may find this novel different from their usual preferences. Expect a strong focus on macroeconomics rather than microeconomics, as this story revolves around building and managing an entire kingdom rather than running a single business. The protagonist will not possess overpowered abilities or cheats such as system, but will rely on his intelligence, knowledge, and authority as a ruler to shape his kingdom’s future. It is my first time ever to write a novel so to be honest, I use AI(GPT and Blackbox.io) to enhanced/rewrite my writing. However the idea, world building, concept and everything else is written by me and me alone. So reader who enjoy 100% Human work I am sorry to disappoint you, however I don't use AI by giving it idea prompt and copy pasting the result but I write on my own then I use AI to enhance my writing style and making it more enjoyable to read. Thus the writing may involved AI but it is 100% human idea and concept. Hope you enjoy!!!!

Donovia A world of swords and magic. A world a we’re Mages’ farts can change the geography of countries and Swordsmen more skilled than Captain Levi molesting the Beast Titan, and to add insult to injury can run at speeds so fast that they take the “bolt” in “lightning bolt” and shit on it… Anyways our MC has been summoned into this world alongside the cliche group of Japanese class of highschoolers to “Save the World” from the Demon King. However it seems that nothing is at straightforward, or to according to the MC it isn’t… P.S. The image isn’t mine I just poached it of google so credits go to whoever made the image P.P.S. Everything (except the some of MCs abilities) in this story is my own creation. Even the shitty world-building is mine, however, i will Endeavour to improve it P.P.P.S. MC is kinda a bit Chaotic-Neutral kinda edgy. His bottom-line is low but not that low so don’t be surprised if he sees starving kids on the verge of death only hanging on because of that little crumb of stale bread they ate in the morning, stops, stares at them and decides that they aren’t worth it and continues on his merry way. No type of earthly morals gunna get in his way(unless he decides to) and also this is not spoiling so don’t get your panties in a twist.

**His eyes were sharp, filled with anger. "What. The. Hell," he said, each word dripping with barely controlled rage. "Who are you, and what did you do?" Lily blinked, her mouth dry. "I—I didn’t do anything!" she stammered, finally finding her voice, though it wavered. "I don’t even know how I got here. I swear, I didn’t—" Logan cut her off, his expression darkening further. "You expect me to believe that? That you just happened to end up in my bed?"** Lily’s life was turned upside down when she woke up in the bed of Logan Carter, her billionaire boss she’d been secretly drooling over for months. One minute she was attending a high-society event as a last-minute invitee, and the next, she was tangled in bed with the guy she thought was untouchable. It turns out, Logan’s sister Bianca, who thought it’d be fun to play matchmaker, spiked her drink and tossed her into a whirlwind she wasn’t ready for. Logan’s reaction was pure fury. He flipped out, accusing Lily of drugging him (which she hadn’t), and kicked her out of his house in disgrace. But the drama didn’t end there. Lily’s life took another wild turn when she found out she wasn’t just an unwelcome guest; she was a scandalous headline. Logan’s family was furious, and suddenly, she’s the target of every socialite’s scorn, especially since she’s now the wife of the most eligible bachelor in town. Despite Logan’s intense dislike for her, his business and family demands forced him into a quick marriage with Lily. And so, Lily’s new job wasn’t just to navigate the treacherous waters of high society; it was to tame Logan, the nation’s hot headed mess of a husband. Lily found herself fighting not only for her place in Logan’s life but also for her right to be recognized and respected among the elite.
