To Grow Stronger, I Diverted Rivers

A 21st-century digital consciousness reborn as a fifth-generation mutant in a fantasy realm—with one unconventional path to power. While others cultivate mystical arts, our protagonist engineers dams, harnesses rivers, and generates electricity to fuel his ascension. Peace-loving and pragmatically lazy, he discovers that true strength lies not in ancient techniques, but in reshaping the very landscape itself. To achieve ultimate relaxation, he must first become unstoppable. Where he passes, unyielding monuments of concrete and steel stand eternal.
