I Became the King of a Broken City
Ethan Calder was a modern military engineer-until a mission ended his life. When he woke up, he wasn't himself anymore. He had become the illegitimate son of a king, cast out with his mother and stepsister to the fallen coastal city of Velora. Hunger. Disease. Poverty. Velora was on the brink of collapse. But Ethan had a system-one that could help him rebuild, plan, and advance this broken city. Using modern knowledge and strategy, he began transforming Velora into a rising empire... carefully, so no other nation would grow too powerful. Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs-everyone was watching. Everyone wanted to stop him. But Ethan would reshape this city from the ground up and prove that even from ashes, greatness can rise. From outcast to emperor, this is his story.

On his journey through this new world, he'll come face to face with all sorts of dangers ranging anywhere from mutants wanting to tear any human they come across to shreds for a quick meal to bandit clans that love to rape, pillage, and sell their victims into slavery. Despite those prevalent threats seeming dangerous enough to deter most from even attempting to set foot outside the confines of whatever safe haven they have, they're not even the worst of what he'll come across in the pursuit of his goals. Dom's quest will have him go toe to toe with the many powers that exist across the wasteland and their armies in his quest to one day conquer it. Will Dom achieve his dreams in this life or will he succumb to the many dangers that exist within the wasteland and beyond? | Other information | This work is only available on Webnovel, Royal Road, Scribble Hub, Wattpad, and Fenrir Realm.

Sabrina doesn't sleep. For months, her mind has been teetering between reality and nightmares. In a desperate attempt to help her, her friends take her on a trip. But what begins as a simple getaway ends in a massacre. When she wakes up, her memories are fragmented─and, with them, her identity. Now, she's a broken and unstable being in a world that worships her as a savior and fears her as an executioner. 〚 Sync: 0%... 18%... 27%... 〛 An enigmatic system guides her through the chaos. Yet each percentage increase tears away a part of her... or awakens something that has always lurked within. In this struggle of distorted perceptions and twisted morals, not only is her identity at risk, but her very humanity. It's no longer just a matter of remembering who she was.

Reborn as Rowan Vexlaar, a noble child of the powerful Empire of Vareth, he should have lived a life of status and privilege. His father was the second son of a ducal house.

But peace is a fragile thing. When a vast mana stone mine was discovered on the Vareth-Nirathal border, war reignited-and Rowan's family became political liabilities. Branded magically worthless after a flawed early ritual, Rowan was cast aside by his own bloodline. And at just ten years old, he watched helplessly as his sick mother was imprisoned and used to blackmail her brother-the king of Nirathal. She died in a cell. Forgotten. Alone. The world didn't just take his mother. It buried his name, ignored his pain, and denied his worth. Now, Rowan wants revenge. But he won't stop there. He will rise. He will conquer. He will claim the Crown Of Magic.
