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

As Sylas began advancing with the knife in hand, the soldiers realized a grim truth. From the moment these monsters decided to act, their survival was never an option.

The hall erupted once more into a bloody spectacle.

The hall where Sylas's group had been led felt cramped. To be precise, it felt that way because it was almost entirely filled with soldiers and knights. Now, it felt just as small—but for a different reason. The living had mostly been replaced by corpses.

"Did we kill too many? It's hard to even walk with all these bodies in the way."

"Sir Toby, don't kick the corpses. The blood splatters," Ray commented.

"If it's bothersome, should I clear them away instead of you seniors?" Isaac offered.

"No need. Clearing them would take even more time," Ray replied.
