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

"...!" Veles stared at Sylas with wide, trembling eyes, his expression a mixture of excitement, hesitation, and confusion. Sensing the turmoil within him, Sylas leaned in slightly and spoke softly.

"Isn't elven magic also on the decline? Wouldn't it be better to migrate to a newly founded Mage Tower rather than clinging to the fading one in your principality?"

"H-How do you know about that?" Veles exclaimed in shock.

"Oh, so I was right," Sylas chuckled. "I merely guessed from your reactions when you saw the grimoire."

Truthfully, Sylas had assumed the elves would behave as they usually did—aloof and detached, only translating the grimoire before departing. To the elves, who already possessed knowledge of magic, a human grimoire wouldn't have been anything extraordinary.
