Outworlders: The Other Side of Mana [OP MCs/Progression/Portal/Alternate History/LitRPG/Military] [Book One Complete]

Mana has opened a door to another Earth. An alternate 18th-century world where magic is real. Earth establishes a colony, and its settlers become known as the Outworlders. But when they attempt to change history, the portal begins to destabilize—leaving them with dwindling supplies and no way home. Desperate to survive, they create The System: a nanite-based injection capable of granting magical powers. Only around forty people are compatible. Some will become heroes. Others will become villains. Sam the Time Samurai. Eliza the Vampire Princess. Tristan the Dark Knight. Three people caught in a world already on the brink of upheaval. As wars spread and rogue factions rise, the Outworlders find themselves facing something far more dangerous than human politics: Old Magic creatures that remember a time before history was written. History is changing. And the Outworlders may not survive what they have set in motion. What to Expect: Strong-to-OP protagonists with rapid progression, but vulnerable to betrayal, politics, and ancient beings with centuries of magical experience. A limited System available to only a handful of people. Alternate history shaped by Earth's arrival, with consequences for politics, technology, warfare, and society. Attempts to do good can have disastrous results. Gray morality and a clash between modern values and historical reality. No explicit sex or harems. Romance is secondary to the main story. Two books are already fully drafted, with roughly 200,000 words written. Chapters are released every other day. AI is used only for grammar and proofreading. The story, characters, and writing are entirely my own. Most artwork is created with Midjourney. I don't have a Patreon. If you enjoy the story, a rating, review, or support for my other books here or on Kindle would mean a lot. Feedback is always welcome. Thank you for reading—I hope the story gives you a few enjoyable moments.
