Black Reef Rising: Exiled to an Island as Its Lord

[Pirates × Lords | Island Domination | No System | Industrial Revolution | Technological Overwhelming]

Felix Bain, second son of the legitimate line of the Bain family, lost his mother as a child and grew up neglected by his father and schemed against by his elder brother.

A single order of exile cast him onto Black Reef Island, where pirates roamed and storms raged, a place nobles considered a certain grave.

The whole continent expects him to die on that desolate island, eaten by fish or pirates.

But they don’t know that a soul from the modern world has awakened with world-defying knowledge of industry!

While everyone else painstakingly cultivates battle aura or studies magic, he launches the Industrial Revolution!

Mining coal and smelting steel, steam engines roaring, mass-producing gunpowder, arming troops with guns and cannons…

Then he combines them with this world’s magical runes to create arcane machinery, steam warships, and enchanted rifles!

Pirates running rampant? A single broadside from his fleet blows their hideout to pieces!

Nobles throwing their weight around? An industrial army at their gates, technology crushing the supernatural!

Elves and dwarves refusing to submit? He wins them over with high-yield crops and steel machinery!

Starting from a barren island of black reefs,

he builds ships, raises armies, constructs harbors, and claims dominion, crushing pirates across the seas, sweeping through the nations of the continent, and establishing a maritime industrial empire spanning three continents!

The world trembles:

“That’s no lord. He’s an ocean tyrant returned from hell!”

“No matter how strong your battle aura, you can’t dodge a bullet. No matter how wondrous your magic, you can’t withstand a cannon barrage!”

Felix stands at the prow of his flagship, gazing out over the boundless ocean:

“From this day on, everything within the four seas is my territory!”
