An engineer becomes a magicless lord and builds cannons to save his starving territory.
Mechanical engineer Silas Reyne wakes in the body of an exiled noble who possesses no magical ability. His inheritance is a devastated border region where hundreds face starvation while rival houses await his collapse. A system activates that pays him one gold coin daily for each living resident, binding his wealth to their survival. Without spellcraft, he applies industrial engineering alongside Ember, a Tier 7 griffin-blood warrior, to reconstruct infrastructure and forge weapons. As cannons and steel reshape the wasteland, the noble house that banished him monitors his progress.
