Playful Protagonist

196,000 words posted and counting!

As the Vozoran Empire prepares to conquer the last few independent kingdoms left on the continent, Jack is reincarnated as the savior of refugees escaping a pogrom.

After his own arrogance ruined his life, the blacklisted and depressed “Jack” escapes into strategy games, turning around hopeless starts… until he is reincarnated into one.

An engineering and history nerd, he knows how to build a civilization. But can he actually do it when his new people are living in tents, at the brink of starvation and threatened by marauding bandits? Or will his own cockiness and distrust of people doom them all?

Meanwhile, just across the border, a young Princess searches for a way to protect her realm as an ever expanding Empire, bent on conquering the whole continent, creeps closer. When their paths cross, they must find a way to stand together against a behemoth.

If you enjoy the problem-solving grit of The Martian and the world-building depth of Release That Witch, you’ll love A Modern Mind in Medieval Times.

Expect:
• Civilization from scratch → City building → Kingdom building
• A pragmatic, cunning protagonist who wins through strategy and isn’t overly humble.
• Real science and engineering that leads to cool weapons and realpolitik in an evolving narrative.
• A romance that shapes the fate of kingdoms. Realistic poly relationship, not a harem full of faceless girls.
• The ultimate clash: Technology and Progress vs. Tradition and Magic

[Previous Title – One Piece: Hashirama’s Voyage]

Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, the Wood Deity, was a legend in the Naruto World. But what if with that exact limitless power on his fingertips, an average man with questionable past is born in the world of Pirates and Marines.

An odd combo in hindsight, but a fun one in practice.

With his Bloodline Power far beyond any Devil-Fruit, reviving the Senju Clan, and finding the One Piece – both can be done without any issue. Right?

Author Note: The Senju Clan exists in this story, coming from Wano, and Chakra is their bloodline power. So yes, this has some AU elements due to the merge of this and chat; while keeping One Piece Lore mostly the same.
