Writing Prompts Contest #52：Kingdom Building

There’s almost as many Kingdom Building genre stories as System based stories on webnovel. Although some authors will complain that there’s too many Kingdom Building stories, we still think that this genre lacks a sufficient number of top-notch novels.

That’s why the excellent stories for this writing prompt will have additional chances to be featured on the front page. And, these chances won’t be limited to only the #1 ranked winner.

Everyone should be quite familiar already with what the Kingdom Building genre is about. That’s why I shall simply mention three different types of Kingdom Building novels that will be the main focus for this writing prompt:

1) Transmigration to historical times / Reincarnation novel
Typically speaking, this type of story will typically have the main character transmigrating to a certain time period in history (most commonly medieval times) together with all of his or her memories. The main character will lead a new life in this different time period. This type of novel has plenty of potential. Just try imagining it. What will a modern day chemist do if he returns to medieval times and inherits a small domain? And what can he do if his domain is facing the threat of war? He knows countless chemistry formulas, he might know how to create gunpowder and explosives, or how to forge sharp weapons (this is modern day knowledge that’s easy enough for any of us to find out using Google). This can help him to obtain his father and domain citizens’ trust and win the battle in the war. In fact, your main character could even be a modern day cook, who uses his cooking skills as well as knowledge of hygiene to his advantage in a medieval age.

Here’s an example from real European history. Some people believed that bathing was harmful to the body. That’s why many people wouldn’t take baths for months at a time. But actually, we know that not bathing will actually greatly increase the risk of them catching an illness. If plagues and other infectious diseases are common in this generation, how about the main character forces through a hygiene law to help decrease the risk of his citizens becoming ill? In fact, we also know the power of antibiotics such as penicillin. What if something such as penicillin appears in the medieval times and helps the citizens and warriors to stop dying to infectious diseases? It’ll seem like a heaven-sent miracle that will save countless lives. The main character will be endlessly praised for creating such a miracle.

2) Fantasy stories

You could also write about the fantasy genre, such as dragons, magic, and other mysterious powers. Of course, the main character will need to create their own domain. He or she can use intelligence and planning to defeat their enemies, or simply win using magic or military might.

Kingdom's Bloodline and Release that Witch are excellent examples of this genre that we can reference.

Kingdom's Bloodline
Release That Witch

3) Dungeon type

You’re also more than welcome to write a Japanese style dungeon building novel where the main character could be a demon king or a demon king’s successor. Or, the main character could even be the dungeon itself. This is also an interesting genre to explore.

I'm entering Contest #51: Gender Bender
If anyone is interested, please check out my entry. It's a sci-fi romance.

The Star Prince's Gender Bender

And here's the first part of the blurb:

Gender Bender has three loves: men, flying cars, and crossdressing.

It’s the age of intergalactic travel and supernatural powers, but she wastes her days chauffeuring the pompous elite from foreign planets to drone-infested cities, towering skyscrapers, and floating districts. When a certain handsome jerk attracts a flock of assassins and destroys her vehicle, she hatches a plot of vengeance: flaunt her hidden curves, seduce him, then ruthlessly break his heart. But what begins as a small lesson soon spirals into something much greater than the galaxy. Classified secrets and a forgotten past... Will she still find love?

Synopsis
A shrilling scream. Sirens. Blood. And the death of Bei Tan, a detective.

Following a series of events, Bei Tan's corpse was found dead in the alleyway between two six story high buildings. However, against all of humanity's logic, he had woken up the next day as the female heir to a large domain he could not identify, and was once again alive even retaining his memories. As he wobbles through this unfamiliar world, he discovers that there's more here than there seems and experiences a new life as a beautiful woman.

P.s its under kingdom building, but the concept of transmigration is also used.
