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

With this, Sylas had dangled a bait so tempting that no noble could resist. They would be drawn to it like moths to a flame, driven by the allure of the rewards.

As the Emperor massaged his temples, clearly distressed by the implications, a voice interrupted.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to hesitate."

The Emperor frowned as Crown Prince Maximilian stepped forward. He had no fondness for his son, and seeing him involve himself in political matters only deepened his displeasure.

"Why are you speaking out, Maximilian? Stand aside."

Maximilian, fully aware of the Emperor's disdain, pressed on regardless. The situation was too urgent to prioritize his father's temper. If mishandled, the imperial family itself could face decline before Maximilian even ascended to the throne.

"We must immediately send envoys to the elven principality and request the establishment of a Mage Tower in the capital. If we delay, it will be too late."
