The Runeforge Chronicles

He spent a decade building systems for people who took the credit. Now he's in a world where what he builds might be the only thing keeping him alive. Ethan Cole was a brilliant engineer going nowhere. Then a resonance experiment pulled him through the walls of reality and dropped him into a collapsing ruin with no weapons, no survival skills, and one thing the System decided he couldn't refuse: a rare Runeforge Artificer class. He doesn't fight. He doesn't cast spells. He builds. While other men swing swords, Ethan etches power directly into matter, crafting runework that bends the laws of the world to his will. The stronger his creations, the more dangerous he becomes. And he's very, very good at making things. But being a crafter in a world full of monsters and mercenaries means staying alive long enough to become dangerous. That means allies. That means Lyra, the sharp-tongued Scout who was dying under a collapsed ceiling before Ethan pulled her out. It means Thessaly, the woman with secrets that could change everything he thinks he knows about the Fractures tearing this world apart. It means learning fast. Building faster. And figuring out why the System locked him into a class it said was mandatory, before whoever put him here decides they want him dead. Runesmith's Awakening is a slow-burn progression fantasy with crafting depth, a grounded competent hero, and a harem that grows as naturally as his runic power.
