"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. 

Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. 

Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not?

[Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.]

What?

[Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.]

Wait, what?!

[Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.]

And, why would I do that?!

[Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.]

Why would I save him?! 

[The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?]

Ah! I give up... 

It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things.

In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. 

I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? 

Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. 

I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse!

Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is...

[Failure: Destruction of the World.]

It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped.

If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing.

[Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.]

"If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." 

And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The Kingmaker System

"Re-Ocean, are you all right?" Silas asked as he approached me and I nodded.

"You came right on time, I would have killed them."

Silas stared at me for a moment before he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"You're still releasing mana, calm down."

I inhaled deeply and my mana retired back to my being and ebbed and flowed inside my body in its natural harmony.

"Sir Ocean?" I turned to look at Davian who stared at the humanoid Dragon under my foot.

"Is that a Dragon?" Silas frowned and I shook my head.

"Not a Pureblood Dragon." I clarified and got my foot off of his chest.

"Take them to the castle and put them in the dungeon, we need to interrogate them." I ordered the knights who had rushed on sight.

*Were these the ones who tried to destroy the Wall?" Davian asked and I nodded.

"These were also the ones who destroyed the Third Wall."

Davian's fists clenched and he looked at me.
