The Exile Lord's Industry

Accused of treason. Family executed. Stripped of his title. Banished to a barren land where no lord could possibly survive. But for him, exile is not the end— it’s the beginning. Once an engineer in another world, he was reborn as the sole heir of a noble house. Gifted with extraordinary magical talent, he discovered that magic was nothing more than science waiting to be systemized. Where others saw spells, he saw formulas. Where others saw miracles, he saw machines. With a fief on the edge of ruin, peasants on the brink of starvation, and hostile neighbors waiting for his downfall, he begins quietly building— not armies of knights, but an industry of magic and steel. Runes become circuits. Mana becomes fuel. Workshops become factories. And the cornerstone of a new civilization begins to rise in exile. Yet he must remain low-key. For the kingdom’s politics are cruel, and nobles fear what they do not understand. Warriors and mages sharpen their blades, and even the church whispers heresy. But while they laugh at the forgotten lord in the wastelands, they will soon tremble at the silent revolution he has begun.
