Lord: Starting with a Holy Grail Knight

What is the true nature of magic? Is it really a force? Can it drive a piston or propel a bullet from a gun barrel? If magic truly existed in a material world, what changes would it bring? In this world, sword and sorcery still reign supreme, and extraordinary knights ride across the land. But the Empire’s engineers are no longer satisfied with the efficiency of water-powered machines. A new age is about to begin. An engineering student from Blue Star transmigrates by accident and becomes a sixteen-year-old boy named Tylion, stranded on an ice field and nearly frozen to death. Fortunately, he awakens an intelligence System: [The Frostfang Clan’s wolf riders will ambush the Knights of the Blazing Sun tonight.] [An earthquake in the Golden Sands Valley has revealed a vein of mithril.] [The outer wall of Prison No. 7, run by the Imperial Inquisition, has been breached. The ancient Beast Ancestor is about to awaken.] [A tide of Chaos will engulf the world. The day of the end is near.] While the nobles are still lost in lives of drunken pleasure, Tylion has turned the cold northern frontier into a paradise. Runic machinery roars, and the workshops producing guns and cannons burn bright through the night. Tylion kicks a knight to the ground and declares loudly, “The age of sword and blood is over. This is the age of iron and fire!”
