Perfect World - Chapter 1812

Rowan Mercer was never meant to exist. Born in a covert mutant lab as Subject 757, he was engineered from the genes of Professor X and Magneto, then dismissed as a failure before he ever learned what he was capable of. His telepathy is faint, his magnetism weak, and the scientists who built him see him as little more than a disposable prototype.But Rowan is not alone in his own skin.The night he tries to sleep off another brutal training session, something in him fractures. His consciousness splits open, anchoring him to a second body in a different world entirely—an abused orphan in the shadows of Knockturn Alley, just days away from entering the wizarding world.Two bodies. Two lives. One mind.And then Rowan discovers the real impossibility:Every ability he trains in one world strengthens him in the other.Magic fuels mutation. Mutation fuels magic. And each new universe waiting beyond these two is another life ready to awaken.With X-23 preparing to lead a desperate escape, the wizarding world whispering of ancient power, and the multiverse itself unfolding like a map only he can read, Rowan begins to understand the truth:He isn’t a failed experiment.He is the blueprint for something the multiverse has never seen.A survivor.A weapon.A convergence.And the worlds that created him have no idea what he’s about to become.

When Roland crossed Middle-earth with the Lord of the Rings system, Gandalf was organizing an expedition, the king under the mountain still did not return to his throne, the Hobbit’s adventure had not yet begun, and the world was still shrouded in shadows…

- Description from novelbuddy

A weary historian dies and finds himself in a different world awakened in a life as the notorious young Duke of a southern state. His nation is weakened, his army underfed, and his neighbors revolve around his lands menacingly. No one believes his land is going to hold out until winter.But this newfound duke is no naive simpleton his enemies recollect. He carries with him the experience of centuries of war and empire, of starting and ending monarchies. From Caesar to Napoleon, from the Mongols to world wars, he has learned from each of them—and his strategy is to make history his very own arms.He organizes his smashed levies into well-trained formations, rebuilds his castles, and turns his villages into supply centers. Where others see defeat, he senses opportunity. As he triumphs, rumors spread: of a pennant red as winter snow that shall not go to ground, of a bloody duke who writes his name in gore and flame.Is he a savior who's constructing a new empire, or a tyrant who's going to bring the world to endless war?
