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

"They still don't understand the situation. I'll have to step in sooner or later," Sylas thought, a cold smile forming on his lips.

These nobles, blinded by greed, needed a wake-up call. It was time to establish who truly held authority.

Sylas's eyes glinted sharply as he looked at them.

"One final review before we proceed," Sylas announced the next day at noon, gathering the nobles to reaffirm their plan.

"My knights and I will lead the charge, with your forces covering any gaps. I'll quickly destroy the gate with the artifact and withdraw."

"The rest will be handled by our troops, my lord," one noble assured him.

"Excellent. Once we breach the gate, the rest should be simple," Sylas replied, nodding.

His words were hollow. Breaching the gate wouldn't guarantee an easy victory. Though their numbers were superior, the coalition had suffered significant losses, and their enemy's troops were far more experienced.
