"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.

A murmur rippled through the room. Seraphine raised a brow, her golden armor gleaming as she folded her arms. "A train system? Forgive me, Emperor, but what exactly is a 'train'? You didn't explain it to me yesterday."

Arkanos allowed himself a faint smile. "A train is a series of carriages propelled along tracks by a steam engine. It can transport goods, soldiers, or citizens far more efficiently than any carriage or caravan."

Arkanos' faint smile remained as he continued to address the room. "Trains operate on tracks... metal rails laid out in precise paths across the land. The train's wheels lock onto these tracks, allowing it to move swiftly and efficiently along a fixed route."

Thalion's silver brows furrowed slightly as he leaned forward, his fingers tapping thoughtfully on the table. "These tracks… how extensive are they? Surely, laying them across the capital will be no small task."
