Chapter 1: A Whole New World

Rylian had been reincarnated into the world of Arcaeodom long enough to learn three important lessons. 

1. Don’t get involved with the relic hunters or questors of the Archeo-Defense Guild unless they want to buy something.

2. Avoid any of the large factions.

3. The other reincarnators are idiots, don’t even go near them.
   

Relic hunters and questors from the Archeo-Defense Guild always either cause or find trouble quite easily, the last time that Rylian joined a relic hunting team as a blacksmith, they unintentionally activated a bunch of turrets inside a destroyed ALDF facility. Killed most of themselves in the process, except for him and their backliners.

The large countries and factions in Arcaeodom are all pretty shitty, there are a few exceptions here and there, but even the exceptions are shady. The main three factions in this insane world are the Føniks Kingdom which is basically on the decline due to its ruler preventing technological development, the Mechanicum Dominion who are all nutjobs who are basically the opposite of the Føniks Kingdom as they favor technology over magic, and the Rashiel Republic which apparently has ghosts roaming its deserts.

And that leaves the other reincarnators…

What can Rylian say about the other reincarnators besides them being fucking idiots. To put it simply, when whatever god out there decided to isekai a bunch of idealistic teens (and three, actually reasonable)with a game-esque system into whatever Arcaeodom counts as they’re still going to try and be idealistic. 

While fucking up everything in the process.

Rylian massaged his head, just remembering what those idiots did gave him a headache.

“Whatever, not my problem anymore,” Rylian mumbled to himself as he interacted with his interface, “Just gotta finish this gun and I’m done with all of the weekly orders.”

Turning his head to the left to check his filament numbers, he realized he was quite low on abiotic filament and had to refill it. Sighing to himself, Rylian put down the rifle he was working on and headed to his storage room.

Pushing open the storage room door, he quickly scanned the messily stacked containers of vegetables, fruits, and cheap magical toys to find the box of rocks he needed. Once more, he gestured to his left interface and opened it.
