The Roman Empires Rise

ArchivedReader
Elias Thorne lived a life of quiet routine, trading spreadsheets and instant coffee for the grand empires and strategic battles he devoured in books. He yearned to build something real, something significant, beyond the confines of his mundane existence. He just never expected his chance would come after a fatal encounter with a delivery truck. Waking up isn't the end – it's a new beginning in a world impossibly vast, over 500 times the size of Earth, teeming with countless kingdoms, empires, and unknown dangers. Reincarnated not as a hero with cheat skills, but as a seemingly ordinary individual, Elias has only one advantage: a mind packed with the accumulated knowledge of Earth's history, its triumphs and failures in building civilizations, its understanding of science, politics, and war. In a land where magic and might often rule, can the lessons of Rome, the principles of modern economics, or the strategies of ancient commanders forge a new path? Starting from scratch in a primitive corner of this colossal realm, Elias must navigate treacherous politics, face fantastical threats, and rally people to his cause. Follow Elias as he uses forgotten knowledge to cultivate land, establish infrastructure, build an economy, and raise an army. Witness the birth of a kingdom built not just on power or magic, but on the blueprints of a lost world. Will his Earth-based wisdom be enough to survive and thrive in this new reality? Can a man from a cubicle become the architect of a new empire? Join Elias Thorne's journey from ordinary to extraordinary in this epic kingdom-building isekai!

HP: The Midnight King

Synopsis: For Justin Russo, life on Waverly Place had always been predictable—filled with family, magic, and the occasional mischief from his sisters, Alex and Maxine. But when a dream feels too vivid to ignore, it unearths memories of a past life long forgotten. As reality begins to unravel, buried secrets rise to the surface, bringing more questions than answers. Now, Justin must navigate a world where the past and present collide. Can he hold onto the peaceful life he's built, or will the sinister forces lurking in the shadows drag him toward a fate darker than he ever imagined? Plot-Driven Fic with a Touch of Wish-Fulfillment. A crossover featuring Harry Potter, Wizards of Waverly Place, Twilight, Shadowhunters, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Seraph of the end. Some elements of other works might be present. Important Note: Before diving in, I highly recommend reading the Author POV chapter first. It will help you decide whether this story is for you. Also, be aware that the Gore tag is not for mere shock value—it serves a purpose in fully realizing the scope of the fic. Some descriptions may be unsettling, but if you're uncomfortable reading it, just imagine what it’s like for me writing it. This is a fanfiction, meaning all credit goes to the original authors. This work is purely fictional—any resemblance to real people, places, or events is purely coincidental. I also do not claim ownership of the cover photo. Expect some plot holes and grammatical errors—I'm not a professional writer, but I will do my best to fix any issues as I go. My ultimate goal, once I get into a steady rhythm, is to release at least three chapters per week—though no promises!
