Aurora22

In a world where kingdoms rise and fall, a seasoned player unexpectedly finds himself transmigrated into the very game he once mastered—Caldera. However, his new life as a ruler comes with a crushing twist: severe debuffs and harsh restrictions on his talents make survival nearly impossible. Against overwhelming odds, he fights tooth and nail to carve out a legacy. Despite his brilliance in strategy and marvels in combat, failure becomes his ultimate fate.

But fate offers him another chance.

Reborn at the start of the game, now without the crippling debuffs and armed with all the knowledge, experience, and hard-won lessons of his previous life, he faces the world anew.

This novel is a bit fast-paced compared to current mainstream trends. It will delve into human nature and how far people are willing to go for meager profit. Most characters will be evil, and even the good ones only appear good because the actions they take align with their own interests, rather than being motivated by true goodness.

Lord of Caldera

"I'll pay for the room in advance so you can rest. I'll also ask the servants to bring some medicine for your fever."

"Enough. Don't strain yourself. Losing your voice in just one night is impressive, truly."

Not that it was because of the fever. His voice had grown hoarse from all the yelps and groans during Sylas's "lesson." Despite trying to hold back his screams, Sylas had an uncanny ability to find the most painful spots. Just thinking about it was enough to make him shudder.

"We'll stop by again after the celebration. Take care of yourself until then."

As Count Bill turned to leave, Dani let out a sigh of relief, his body finally relaxing. He assumed Sylas would depart with his father as well. But when he looked up, he met Sylas's gaze. Just that single glance drained all color from Dani's face.

Sylas silently mouthed words that sent a shiver down Dani's spine: "Cross me again, and you're dead."
