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

Inside a tent where the three remaining lords had gathered, an oppressive silence filled the air. Of those who had claimed to be the rightful heirs to Drakenfels, only these three now remained.

Under normal circumstances, they might have toasted to their survival, but this time, there was no cause for celebration.

Gerdt, the host of the meeting, finally broke the silence, his expression grim. The other two lords avoided his gaze, refusing to answer.

Closing his eyes tightly, Gerdt forced himself to say what none of them wanted to admit.

"We no longer have any advantage over the Dragon Slayer. The quality of our soldiers may be superior, but it's meaningless at this point."

"Those mercenaries are no longer just guarding their strongholds. If they march on us with their full force—"

He stopped short, unable to finish the thought. But there was no one in the room who couldn't guess the rest.
