After becoming #1 in the world after playing a grand strategy game as the most difficult faction on immortal level difficulty, MC receives an invitation to compete in an even more challenging game which takes the MC into the world of the game itself, but as it's weakest lord who will die two days later that appears only as a cutscene in the tutorial as first of many deaths to rock the continent until only one survives to proclaim a new eternal empire.

Can the MC use his game knowledge to successfully survive his impending doom, and rise from the ashes to reclaim the glory he'd won before?

Imperator: Resurrection of an Empire

The Forum (square) stood packed to the edges with people.

Citizens of the Eternal City filled the marble square, their excited murmurs creating a low rumble that filled the air.

From wealthy merchants in fine tunics to rough-handed laborers and farmers, all had come to hear their King speak.

Even the Legion veterans, clad in their ceremonial armor, stood proudly in formation — silent yet powerful reminders of the force that had conquered far and wide.

Atop the grand balcony overlooking the forum, Julius stood with calm authority.

Clad in dark crimson robes embroidered with gold, and the reforged roman crown resting heavily upon his brow, he cut a figure both regal and formidable.

The murmurs stilled as Julius stepped forward.

"People of Romanus!"

his voice boomed, enhanced by the clever use of brass amplifiers stationed throughout the square.
