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

"What?" Isaac's laugh caught in his throat, his face twisting in confusion. "A knight? That's a joke. You can't be serious."

"I am," Sylas replied evenly. "I'll make you a knight."

Isaac stared at Sylas as if he'd grown another head. A knight? For someone like him? A half-demon? It was impossible. The Church would find out, and when they did, it would mean certain death. Sensing Isaac's doubts, Sylas continued.

"You don't have to hide who you are. If the Church knows about you and still accepts it, there's no problem."

"That's… impossible!" Isaac protested. "The Church would never allow it!"

"It's possible," Sylas said firmly. "If I'm the one asking."

Isaac's eyes widened. Sylas's conviction was unnerving. Could he really be serious?

"Let me ask you again," Sylas said, stepping closer. "If I can make the Church accept you, will you swear loyalty to me?"
