"World conquest was never part of the plan." 

Yu Chen was just an ordinary programmer, slaving away at his desk, fixing bugs for a popular kingdom-building game. 

His life was a cycle of endless work, sleepless nights, and little appreciation. One fateful night, while struggling to fix a game-breaking bug that granted players an absurd amount of upgrade points, his exhausted heart gave out. 

But death wasn't the end for Yu Chen. He awoke in a world strangly familiar... he had transmigrated into the very game he had been working on, now inhabiting the body of a notorious tyrant emperor, Arkanos Bloodbane, whose empire was on the brink of destruction.

Surrounded by enemies, with rebellions simmering within and war on every front, Yu Chen, now Arkanos, quickly realizes the gravity of his situation. 

But to his shock, he discovers that he still has access to the game's system interface—complete with the million upgrade points from the bug he had tried to fix! 

With his knowledge of game mechanics, strategic mind, and a wealth of upgrade points, Arkanos sets out to turn the crumbling empire into an unstoppable force. He begins by summoning legendary heroes, deploying advanced technologies never before seen in this world, and revolutionizing his military and infrastructure. 

As he pushes his empire to greatness, Arkanos must navigate the treacherous politics of the imperial court, fend off treacherous factions, and outmaneuver the rival nations that seek to destroy him. But with each victory, he realizes that this world is not just a game—it's his new reality. The stakes are higher, the dangers more real, and the consequences of failure more dire than ever.

Arkanos' voice was as sharp as a blade. "You fought well, but some of you faltered. Mistakes were made... mistakes that could have cost lives. And I do not tolerate failure."

His piercing gaze locked onto one of the knights, who had stumbled earlier. "You hesitated. Why?"

The knight swallowed hard, his voice shaking. "I… I was tired, my lord."

"Tiredness is no excuse for weakness," Arkanos replied icily. "In war, hesitation is death."

The knights straightened despite their exhaustion, their faces were pale but resolute.

Arkanos' gaze hardened as he surveyed the line of exhausted knights. His voice cut through the lingering silence like a blade.

"You all fought bravely," he began, pacing slowly in front of the assembled warriors, "but bravery alone is not enough. Mistakes were made, and mistakes in war mean death… for you, and for those who depend on you. I do not suffer incompetence lightly."
