A talented Artificer who helped Peter the Great solidify his empire and then gave his life in a final stand against an arcane enemy finds their soul in the body of a young Russian noble three hundred years later. The good news is it seems that the reincarnating aspect of his last Artifact worked and even made him a Universalist able to channel all types of magic energy, the bad news is his new identity, Aleksander, is a well known party boy who bankrupted his family. His first challenge is to save his new grandfather from debtors prison. The obvious solution is to craft an amazing Artifact and sell it, but with his reputation it's going to a be hard to convince anyone to hire him. Throw in a death-mage for hire, scheming nobles, plots against the Czar, and hints that their old enemy is back and you have an entertaining yet somewhat cozy fantasy with rare elements of LitRPG progression. I say somewhat cozy because Aleksander has a tendency to deal with his enemies in creatively violent ways without a qualm thanks to his battlefield experience in his past life.
