software engineer success stories

Having traveled to America in the year 1862, this was the beginning of a dream, the finest of times. What constitutes a true master of success? Having some notable descendants hardly counts for anything. To build an Oil Empire alongside Rockefeller To place Carnegie on the throne of the steel magnate To help Ford propel the industrialization of automobiles worldwide To lead Edison to monopolize the future of the electrical industry To be an Angel Investor for Morgan's capital Hear this, applause!

Qi Ming woke up to find that he had transmigrated. He had become a disciple of the Green Cloud Peak, one of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect. Fortunately, the "AFK Farming Software" was activated and changed his life. "Ding!" "You had been AFK Farming for seven days in the game dungeon 'Shu Mountain Ancient Path'. You have cleared the game dungeon seven times. You have obtained: 1 Seven Star Sword, 1 Sword Kinesis Technique, 1 Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, and 630 Low-Grade Spirit Stones." ... "Ding!" "The Green Cloud Qi Refinement Art has been cultivated for a day. Your cultivation progress has increased. You will break through to the next level after 10 days of AFK Farming." ... Qi Ming was tired of cultivating. It was too dangerous out there, so he could only cultivate through the AFK Farming Software every day in the sect. Eventually, Qi Ming reached Foundation Establishment, followed by Golden Core, and subsequently Nascent Soul. He... became invincible?

Qi Ming wachte auf und stellte fest, dass er transmigiert war. Er war zu einem Schüler des Grünen Wolken-Gipfels geworden, einem der zwölf Gipfel der Himmlischen Erleuchtungssekte. Glücklicherweise wurde die "AFK Farming Software" aktiviert und veränderte sein Leben. "Ding!" "Du hast sieben Tage lang AFK Farming im Spiel-Dungeon 'Uralter Pfad des Shu-Berges' betrieben. Du hast den Spiel-Dungeon siebenmal gecleart. Du hast erhalten: 1 Sieben-Sterne-Schwert, 1 Schwert-Kinese-Technik, 1 hochgradige Grundbildungspille und 630 niedriggradige Geist-Steine." ... "Ding!" "Die Grüne Wolken Qi-Verfeinerungskunst wurde einen Tag lang kultiviert. Dein Kultivierungsfortschritt hat sich erhöht. Du wirst nach 10 Tagen AFK Farming zur nächsten Stufe durchbrechen." ... Qi Ming war des Kultivierens müde. Es war zu gefährlich da draußen, also konnte er nur jeden Tag durch die AFK Farming Software in der Sekte kultivieren. Schließlich erreichte Qi Ming die Grundlagenerrichtung, gefolgt vom Goldenen Kern und anschließend der Keimseele. Er... wurde unbesiegbar?

In the frozen depths of Queen Eleanor's beleaguered kingdom Eldoria, ice shards glisten like broken dreams amidst the endless winter. Meanwhile, in Vampire Prince Vincent's domain, the ceaseless whirring of machines drowns out all hope. But an ancient prophecy, etched in blood and arcane runes, inexorably binds their fates together. As they each dare to dream of technological marvels that could thaw the endless night, a malevolent force stirs - an insidious enemy poised to devour all they cherish. Bitter rivalry must give way to uneasy alliance as Eleanor and Vincent are forced to unite against the encroaching peril. Betrayals like viper's strikes lash out from the shadows they once called friends. In this crucible of fire and ice, the two leaders must face the demons that lurk in their own shattered souls. Will their bond transcend the boundaries of flesh and steel? Or will mistrust splinter the last vestige of light in their dying realms?

She bravely defends herself and the palace against Vincent's attacks as he sends out monsterlike fighters to attack Eleanor's realm and coronation. Aided by her friend Shane, a genius engineer whose brilliance burns as fierce as his loyalty, Eleanor must summon a fierce ferocity to safeguard her people. Vincent has to face the fact that he may never unite the two kingdoms, though. Will Eleanor ever accept him as her partner? Can he beat Shane’s ingenuity and loyalty, ever?

Shen was hoping to take his first-ever hand-made airship out on a joy ride with his family, unfortunately, life had other plans. Now our dear MC has to deal with falling 200ft downwards to his inevitable demise. Luckily for him (or unlucky depending on how you see it) death also had other plans, when he wakes up he finds he is in the presence of the divines, who rule his soul to be a candidate for Project Awakening. Thus, the story of Ingen the engineer who was propelled into a world of magic without his say begins.

Lin An woke up and found himself in an Eastern Fantasy world. In this world, power was everything. The powerhouses could easily control it all. Those who were capable enough could claim everything, be it money, women, or power. A voice sounded in the mind of Lin An, who was still puzzled over his reincarnation to the Eastern Fantasy World. [Congratulations, host! You have activated the Success Rate System. Whatever you do, you will be able to see your success rate!] Since then, Lin An was able to check his success rate every time before he did something! “The chances of you successfully refining your body with this body refining technique are 90%.” “The chances of you obtaining treasures when you open this treasure box are 100%.” “The chances of you surviving in this cave are 0%.” “The chances of you being favored by the sacred maiden and having a relationship with her are 100%.”

The world is dying—storms rage, the ground cracks, and civilization is in ruins. Survival is uncertain, but Dr. James isn’t just another desperate survivor. He has a Technology System—one that grants him blueprints, tools, and knowledge far beyond human understanding. Stranded on an island, he builds in secret while the world tears itself apart. Rival survivors fight for power, governments scramble for control, but James? He’s preparing for something they’d never expect. Because survival isn’t his true goal. And when the time comes, the world will realize too late—he was never meant to stay.

━━━ Welcome to the Customizable rewards systems ━━━ You have a Rank 5 reward, what will you create? Another nuke? Percy always believed that if you’re going to die, you should at least go out with a bang. Unfortunately, his “grand exit” ended up being a bored god snapping his spine like a breadstick. Before that, he was an engineer at one of the world’s top aeronautic companies. He had money, prestige, influence… and absolutely zero interest. But death wasn’t the end. A goddess of darkness dragged him into a new world, handing him a task: Bring prosperity to this realm. He doesn’t really care about divine missions, though, as long as he can build something amazing, he’s in. Armed with dual affinities, a dragon’s fighting spirit, and a system that lets him customize his own rewards, Percy decides he’s done playing fair. Last time, he worked by the rules and trusted competence to win the day. This time? He’ll make the rules, and everyone else will be forced to play along. You know the old saying: if you want something done right, get Percy to do it. ---- Mc will go from weak to strong pretty fast. Early on he's a glass cannon but as his tech, magic and special skills improves he'll become op. There be a lot of fights in some arcs, but the arcs won't be very high stakes, and the vols will be mostly about building earth's tech with a magic twist. So if you think you'll enjoy it, try the story. Additional tags: Light Fantasy, slice of life, comedy, System, Magic, Tactical Combat, Power Progression, Monster Hunt, Knights, High Stakes.
