Master the runes. Gain power. Reign supreme.

Ethan was just a plain old engineer, but everything changed when he was reborn into a world of skills, levels, and magic. With advanced knowledge far ahead of the time period he now finds himself in, he's primed to succeed.

Especially because he can construct, deconstruct, and reconstruct runes — something no one else can do.

But with royal politics, looming tax collectors, a mountain of debt, dungeon incursions, cults, and hostile fantasy races mixing together into a cocktail of problems that threatens to bury his dreams, Ethan must bridge the gap between steel, science, and sorcery to grow stronger.

Jump into a fast-paced new Isekai LitRPG Adventure featuring a rune-based magic system, dungeon delving, an intelligent MC, deep worldbuilding, unforgettable characters, kingdom-building, and so much more.

absolutely fantastic

A strong start on this series, and one of those you can't put down. How to being in wealth, and clean the blight out at the same time... mass production of cheap soap of course. We follow our MC who soul was placed in a pampered spoiled brat body. Can our MC change how his people view them in their eyes. Can he outsmart those who is trying to summon a god? So much fun. Can't wait for the next book.

Not Bad

The only thing that bothered me is he had to much knowledge for a civil engineer, Still a decent story and i will listen to the next one.

Decent

I liked everything except the fact that a modern-day isekai engineers best inventions are soap, a wheelbarrow and a water mill. I'd hardly call that industrial. Should rename the book soap mage as much as its obsessed about. I almost quit at the soap competition but I stayed because of every thing else about the world build. I guess you got to start somewhere but I hope its gets more advanced in book two.

Good start

This book follows the reincarnation into a young noble trope. This is a fun trope because the MC has to work against another person reputation. A lot of the story is focused on redeeming how the MC is perceived. Now I wish the plot wasn’t so invested in soap but I get it and it made sense. Overall, the story was entertaining though. The narration was well done too.

No connection to story or characters

I was gifted an Audible promotional credit for this title so I'm obligated to review whether or not I finished it.

I'm having a very difficult time relating to or connecting with any aspect of this book.

The stuttering cadence of the narrator, the lackluster, unimaginative storyline, the MC or any other character or the 'system', nothing conveys engagement or interest to me.

I do not recommend this title.
