Synopsis
In the waning years of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, a young boy named Alfonso XIII was proclaimed King of Spain in 1886. However, being just a child, his mother, Queen Maria Christina, ruled as regent in his place. Queen Maria Christina adopted a somewhat lenient policy, granting the Filipinos a degree of freedom while still keeping them as subjects of the Spanish monarchy.
As time passed, the Philippines remained under Spanish rule until it was finally passed on to Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, in 1920. But Alfonso, wise beyond his years, saw the plight of the Filipino people and understood their deep desire for independence in their hearts. He made a momentous decision – renouncing his claim to the Spanish throne and requesting to govern the Philippines instead. Surprisingly, the Spanish monarch agreed to this arrangement, and Alfonso was given the unique responsibility of managing the Philippines as a separate entity.
But unknown to everyone, the original Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, died due to drowning accident and was replaced by Miguel Reyes.
In a world reminiscent of the early twentieth century but with a twist, Miguel Reyes, a brilliant scientist,engineer, military enthusiast, and businessman from the Philippines, found himself in a strange predicament. After a fatal car accident in 2023, Miguel was granted an extraordinary second chance at life. He awakened to find his soul inexplicably reincarnated into the body of a prince in a distant land.
Confused and disoriented at first, Miguel soon discovered that he was inhabiting none other than the young Alfonso, Prince of Asturias, decades before his untimely death. Realizing the significance of this opportunity, Miguel knew he had to act wisely. He had lived a life devoted to knowledge and progress, and now he found himself in a pivotal position to change history for the better.
Armed with the knowledge of Alfonso's fate and aware of the impending struggles faced by the Philippines, Miguel resolved to take a different path. Join Alfonso (Miguel Reyes) on a life-changing experience. Will Miguel Reyes find tranquility in his second life as he governs the nation and steers it towards greatness? Or will he face the shadow of a conspiracy lurking within the borders?

One of the best modern building country novel.. Sadly, I dont have the coins to continue reading right now.. But, when I have I will gladly donate in this book.. I hope to read future wars or dominating the WPS as a regional powerhouse occupying Taiwan, Malaysia, and Hawai
Best of the best, the story was written very vell. It had a deep understanding of history and also basing from them. Would Alfonso invade and occupy Singapore, Guam, Hawai, Taiwan, Malaysia and straight of Malacca? even buying Alaska from Russia is also possible since he know the strategic importance of these region.. Like he gave autonomous governance of those region like Malaysia but also under the Phil flag. China should be divided into two and not separated like timeline strategy from N.K and S.K or else they would become overwhelming force hope Alfonso would supoprt the Republic of China not the communist.
Peak historical fiction. I hope after this u make historical fiction based on modern Philippines trying to become a superpower like being transmigration in 2016 as Duterte with 10 years term (revision of constitution)
I love this and i cant wait for more. You really should do more of this maybe another country without a monarchy or maybe a sequel in modern time.
The start was a little vague but I guess as it went with the story the details became clearer. and also the updates are pretty slow sooooo
Instead of making it pay per chapter, I would like to see them being free, and advanced chapters being on patreon instead. Otherwise, great novel, I enjoyed it until I couldn’t read it anymore.
