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

"Let us go, you say?" Eldira's voice was sharp, her expression one of scorn. "Letting us go is the bare minimum. Did you truly think you could commit such offenses and send us away without reparations?"

Eldira's words reverberated through the banquet hall, eliciting gasps of disbelief.

"L-Lady Eldira," Veles whispered urgently, his face pale as he tugged at her sleeve. "He's letting us leave. Why push further?"

Eldira ignored him, raising her chin defiantly.

"You dared to overreach, insulted us, and attempted to act with impunity despite knowing my identity. And now you expect to end this by simply letting us leave? The decision to leave is mine, not yours!"

"What did you just say?" the Emperor sputtered.

"Emperor of the Empire! Compensate us for the indignities we've suffered! Until you do, I will not budge from this spot!" Eldira declared.
