What happens when you gather history’s greatest minds in a world that only understands brute force? ​Lucius Nakamura was never a warrior. He was a history student who knew more about Roman aqueducts and logistical supply chains than swordplay. After a fatal accident in Tokyo, he wakes up in the decaying, impoverished Kingdom of Dimas—trapped in a frail body with a seemingly useless class: [Civil Necromancer]. ​In a world drying up from water scarcity and choked by palace intrigue, Lucius doesn't receive cheat magic or legendary swords. He inherits ruins. But the System grants him an anomalous link to the Library of his past life, allowing him to summon the blueprints and spirits of Earth's dead geniuses. ​From engineering Roman concrete channels with Sextus Julius Frontinus to taming mineral coal with Han Dynasty's Du Shi, Lucius will prove that an empire isn't raised by blades—it is built through accounting, leverage, and raw physical labor. ​One push-up at a time. One finger of slope per meter. ​What to expect: ​Hard Kingdom Building & Realistic Logistics. ​Accurate Ancient Engineering (Roman, Chinese, Feudal Japan). ​No instant power-ups. Every attribute point is paid in sweat and muscle strain. ​Political Intrigue & Cold Market Logic over modern morals.   📅  !Release schedule: New chapters every week!
