Engineer of Ruin
Synopsis
Book 1 is complete!
----------------------------
Every month the long night comes, driving monsters into a frenzy.
Villagers like 13-year-old David fight to survive until dawn, while those born luckier live in fortified cities, sheltered from the terrors of the world.
Witnessing deaths of fellow villagers breaks the limiter on David’s mind, setting free the memories of his past life as an engineer. Aided by the scientific method and a power to harvest memories of the freshly dead, he wrangles the world’s volatile magic to carve out a better life for his family.
With the arrival of an intelligent monster to the neighboring forest, the village faces imminent doom while the vile knights meant to keep them safe want to lay hands on his alchemist mother instead. But David is an observer no more and what he lacks in brawn, he will make up for with a sharp mind and audacity.
Be they a nightmare taking form or an heir to the great noble houses, none can threaten his family and live.
What to expect from this story:
* Weak-to-strong, competent lead
* Generalist main character using a unique memory-based power, magic and later on, modern knowledge and constructs.
* In-depth magic system with epic battles
* 5 chapters a week
