The Other Side of Mana [LitRPG] [Alternate Reality] [Kingdom Building] [OP MCs]

The discovery of Mana, a new elementary particle, allows Earth to open a portal to an alternate 18th-century world where magic is real. A colony is established, and its settlers become known as the Outworlders.

But attempts to change history destabilize the portal, cutting them off from Earth. As resources dwindle, the Outworlders create The System: a nanite-based injection that grants magical powers. Only around forty people are compatible. Some become heroes, others villains.

The story follows three main characters—Sam the Samurai, Eliza the Vampire, and Tristan the Dark Knight—as they face rogue factions, revolutions, and war.

What to Expect:

Strong-to-OP protagonists with rapid progression, but still vulnerable to betrayal, politics, and ancient beings with centuries of magical experience.

A limited System available to only a handful of people.

Alternate history shaped by Earth's arrival, with consequences for politics, technology, warfare, and society. Attempts to do good can have disastrous results.

Gray morality and a clash between modern values and historical reality.

No explicit sex or harems. Romance is secondary to the main story.

Two books are already fully drafted, with roughly 200,000 words written. Chapters are released daily and average 2–3k words. AI is used only for grammar and proofreading. The story, characters, and writing are entirely my own. Most artwork is created with Midjourney.

I don't have a Patreon. If you enjoy the story, a rating, review, or reading my other books here or on Kindle would mean a lot.

Feedback is always welcome. Thank you for reading—I hope the story gives you a few good moments and maybe even a smile.
