Strategic Battles

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

This story follows Sakura Haruno. While Naruto was off training with Jiraiya, Sakura learned a few things about herself. Mainly that she doesn’t need Sasuke, she still would like to save her friend and comrade, but she no longer sees him as her old school girl crush. As she matured, she started seeing other boys and a few girls, and after having a sexual awakening discovered that she rather enjoyed sex. She gets along with her sexual partners but believes she is too young and could be killed in action at any time as a ninja to have any commitments, so she decides to sleep around and have fun. She decides she will not worry about settling down until later in life, if she ever wants to. Maybe she never will. But she had decided to focus on her ninja career and fool around with whoever she wanted when she had the chance. Soon Naruto will be returning; she can’t wait to see how he has matured since she last saw him and is looking forward to showing him how much she has.
