Roots of Fire

Mikhail DuPont was once a ruthless real estate magnate with strong architectural and engineering prowess , sharp-tongued, feared in boardrooms, and buried under concrete empires built on shortcuts and ego. But when betrayal and arrogance brought it all crashing down, death came not as an end, but a reset. Now he wakes in 2005, inside his younger body, gasping for breath and surrounded by the raw smell of wet earth and rebar. It’s the week his very first construction project failed—a project that marked the beginning of his slow, calculated rise and eventual fall. Armed with nothing but his memories, foresight, and the burn of regret, Mikhail begins again—not to chase wealth, but to build something that lasts. But the past refuses to lie still. Suspicious contractors, greedy landowners, and familiar faces from his old life stand in his way. And this time, he doesn’t have power or money—only blueprints, broken trust, and a second chance he refuses to waste. As he navigates dusty lots, skeptical allies, and brutal business truths, Mikhail must unlearn the arrogance that once defined him and prove—brick by brick—that empire isn’t about scale. It’s about integrity. The Reincarnated Developer: From Cement to Empire is a grounded, emotionally-driven story of second chances, industrial ambition, and the cost of building something real. There are no systems. No cheats. Just one man, his past mistakes, and the future he’s determined to rebuild.

After years of relentless effort, I finally defeated the ultimate boss in EVR. I am the strongest. I won! But... was it worth it? "You may wish for anything as a reward for your achievement. What is your desire?" "I... I need to Log In!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone, welcome to my new book. First of all, this is a no-harem story. Yes, there is romance. Also, please note that in the first half of this story, the MC is a love-struck man with cheat skills, so the story is wish-fulfilling. But in the second half, there will be real challenges for him. I wrote my first book to get better at writing, so it was an experiment for me, but it turned out well. Lucky me!! But this story has always been in my mind, and here we are! Even though the two stories share the same universe, they have minimal links. But I still suggest reading my other book, I Don't Need To Log Out, because I won't dive deep into the universe's lore in this story. Rest assured, you won't feel anything amiss if you don't read that one. But you should at least read the auxiliary chapter for the minimum amount of information needed. I will be sharing 2 chapters a day. Power Stone events will start after the story gets 100 Power Stones in one week.

But the moment he steps inside, strange things begin to happen: whispers behind doors, messages in the mirror, and the chilling presence of someone watching him at night. He soon discovers an invisible clause in the lease — a ghost contract binding him to the former tenant, Liana, who died mysteriously and won’t move on until her "unfinished business" is resolved... or replaced. Some contracts are written in ink. Others, in blood.
