Lin Yi, a national engineer, once traveled through time and became a run-down frontier baron in a world where the demonic tide revived. Faced with a barren territory, scattered citizens, surrounded by monsters and malicious intentions, his start was nothing short of earth-shattering.
But the nobles of this world soon discovered that they were not facing a knight who could only wield a sword.
What he brought was reason, knowledge and order that transcended this era.
Soap, liquor, and cement were just the beginning. Magical machine tools, runic communication networks, and an established phalanx of muskets and artillery were the "industrial revolution" he dedicated to this ignorant world.
When the enemy knights mocked his troops for not knowing honor, Iron Torrent taught them what war was.
When the court mage despised his skills as "magic and cunning", the communication silence and precise strikes covering the battlefield allowed them to see what dimensionality reduction strikes were.
From a crumbling wooden fortress to a steel city across the continent; from an exiled baron to the supreme ruler of the new era.
Lin Yi used facts to declare to the whole world: Sir, times have changed.
