The Unwanted Prince of Prussia

Power decides fate— but what happens when fate makes the worst possible choice? Reincarnated war-nerd Zhan Ge, whose only real-life experience with conflict was driving military supply trucks in Ukraine “for research purposes,” suddenly opens his eyes in 1903… inside the body of Prince Oskar, the awkward, ignored fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In the German Empire, he’s supposed to be noble. Disciplined. Patriotic. Elegant. Instead, he’s: – socially anxious, – addicted to military history, – speaking German like an Austrian action hero, and – climbing palace trees to hide from responsibility. Branded “the strange prince,” never taken seriously, Oskar becomes the forgotten Hohenzollern— the prince nobody needed. But Zhan Ge knows something no one else in 1903 could even imagine: Germany is racing toward a catastrophe. The world’s first global war. A disaster that will shatter empires, redraw continents, and erase millions. If he does nothing, the German Empire collapses. He loses his title, his home, his future, and—worst of all— his chance at a peaceful life with a wife, money, food, and absolutely zero trenches. To survive, Oskar must change history itself: strengthen Germany without unleashing darker futures stop the world from repeating its greatest tragedies outsmart rival princes, generals, ministers and avoid accidentally starting WWI early with an Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner. Armed with a century of historical knowledge, modern logic, and a dwarf attendant who constantly questions his sanity, the most unwanted prince of Prussia stands at the dawn of a new century… Determined to reshape the fate of Europe— or die trying (again).

Transmigrated as a Noble’s Son, Armed with the Lessons of History

Elias Morven devoted his life to history—studying the rise and fall of empires, the lies behind heroism, and the true cost of war. But knowledge could not save him from reality. With no future in academia and a sudden need for money, he is forced to join the military, believing—if only briefly—that he might become part of a noble story. War destroys that illusion. He witnesses atrocities committed in the name of politics, comrades dying for nothing, and innocent lives crushed beneath ambition and profit. When his service ends, Elias returns home hollow and broken, burdened by regret he cannot escape. In desperation, he prays for forgiveness—and dies. He awakens in another world. Reborn as Alaric Valenroth, the second son of a powerful noble house in a medieval kingdom, Elias finds himself thrust immediately into crisis. But Alaric possesses something this world has never seen. He remembers history—not legends, but truths. Forgotten formations. Proven strategies. The patterns of war that repeat across worlds and ages. Using his knowledge as his greatest weapon, Alaric must survive politics, duty, and the brutality of battle while shaping a future that does not repeat the same meaningless bloodshed he once lived through. This is not a story of chosen heroes or easy victories. It is the story of a man who carries history itself into another world—and dares to rewrite it. WARNING!

W W 3

In the year 2073, the world insists it is not at war — even as fighting spreads across continents. Conflicts erupt as proxy battles, where borders burn but responsibility is denied. Soldiers die in trenches that officially do not exist, for causes that are never fully acknowledged. Every front is declared “contained,” even as each one pushes the world closer to collapse. Global power is divided among a handful of dominant blocs. Two align against each other, locked in silent escalation, while a third refuses to choose sides. Diplomacy continues, but it has become performance rather than solution. The institution meant to prevent global conflict is paralyzed by vetoes, legal loopholes, and political theater, unable to act as the world fractures around it. As this system collapses, a new idea emerges. Instead of conquest, it proposes Union. Instead of erasure, reorganization. A new global entity is formed, not by consensus, but by capability. It does not seek to absorb entire nations, understanding the psychological cost of total loss. Instead, it acquires strategic territories, critical islands, corridors, and zones that eliminate future conflicts before they can begin. Some states accept protectorate status, gaining security in exchange for concessions. Others transform into semi-autonomous national entities, preserving culture, identity, and symbolic leadership under a larger constitutional framework. Monarchies and theocracies survive, not as rulers, but as symbols, bound by law. At the core of this new order lies a radical system of governance: a dual executive–legislative structure, designed to prevent concentration of power while maintaining decisive authority. A constitution shaped by civilizational debate, flexible yet guarded by a defined basic structure. On the battlefield, soldiers experience the brutal reality of modern war — where daring actions are not expected, and hesitation is fatal. In command rooms, strategy and legality collide. In diplomatic halls, words fail faster than weapons. As militancy and diplomacy advance side by side, one truth becomes unavoidable: World War III is not announced. It is managed. WW3 is a story of modern conflict where treaties kill as effectively as bullets, where nations are not destroyed but redesigned, and where the future belongs not to those who win the war — but to those who control what comes after.
