Shadow rank ~#137 in Historical↓9

Book 1 Now Complete! This book is only legally available on Royal Road, Spacebattles and my Patreon and I only write under the pseudonym Nerd Knight. Anywhere else you may find it is an illegal theft of my work. David brought the horsepower to grind through any challenge, now he’s homesteading on another world. David has spent his entire life preparing to take over the family farm. Just when he thinks it’s finally time, he finds out he’s not in the family’s plans moving forward. As he sets off to plant his last field, he and his tractor are whisked through a magical portal to another world. What awaits him on the other side is an idyllic frontier homestead. There are squatters, and he’s going to have to adjust to a world with magic and a System. But, he does have a massive 600 horsepower New Holland T9 Quadtrac tractor. But even with modern tech in an 1800s otherworld, not everything will go smoothly. He'll have to figure out what to do with his unexpected guests, set up a thriving farm, and deal with a political powder keg that is far deadlier than meets the eye. Oh, and maybe also figure out how he will get fuel for that 600 horsepower tractor... No matter the obstacles, he is going to do his best to make his new homestead thrive. Cover art by Duy Phan. Typography by Kit Cameron  ------------------------------------------------ Updates Monday-Friday starting August 3rd! The entire first book is now out on RR! 20 Chapters ahead on my Patreon. What to expect: There will be cultivation, just not the kind most people would expect. Plenty of plants being cultivated though! The book is a slow burn Slice of Life homestead builder. Book 1 will focus on building up a homestead. At its core this book is about building relationships and farming. No harem or funny business. There will be a single romantic interest that will develop over the course of the entire first book.
