Reborn as an Oil Magnate

Enigma_TL
He wakes in the body of a junior petroleum engineer with one impossible advantage: the memory of another life and the hard-earned technical knowledge that came with it. Where others see tired wells and wishful spreadsheets, he sees equations, flow paths, and opportunities—practical tricks and modern techniques that can turn marginal fields into steady profit. Quiet, methodical, and dangerously precise, he sets out to apply what he knows: smarter well placement, profile control, injection strategies, and cost-cutting that looks like miracle work to everyone else. But oil is not a science in a vacuum. Each engineering win drags him into boardrooms of hungry investors, backroom deals with corrupt officials, and rival companies that will steal or sabotage at the first sign of success. As his projects produce more than they should, money and enemies multiply in equal measure. He must learn to be more than an engineer—negotiator, strategist, and sometimes a ruthless operator—to protect his people and his plans. This is a slow-burn tale of industry, ambition, and consequence. Expect detailed oilfield problem-solving and the slow accumulation of power, punctuated by political pressure, corporate intrigue, and the moral price of extracting wealth from the earth. Every well drilled is a step toward an empire—and toward choices that will define the man behind the calculations. THIS IS A WORK OF TRANSLATION NOVEL IS WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR: 想不初

Vile Dominion

(There are few chapters which has indentation issues, due to the site glitch. I would recommend the readers to read the novel on Royals Road if you find any difficulty. I have tried fixing them, but some chapters retain those problems) In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide—navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world’s control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)
