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

"Still, it feels like a waste. He is the Emperor, after all. If we use him properly, we might take control of the Empire with minimal bloodshed."

"Well, that's true," Toby replied, "but we're talking about Zichard. He's the type to whine, 'I'm the Emperor! Bow before me!' without understanding his position."

"That's the issue. Given the current situation, he should be groveling at our feet, but instead, he's likely to spout nonsense, oblivious to reality."

Both men sighed heavily, their frustration evident. It was the kind of exasperated sigh one might hear when dealing with someone so foolish that mutual cooperation seemed impossible.

"Well, let's at least see him," Sylas said. "Who knows? Maybe being imprisoned by his own child has taught him a lesson."

"I wouldn't count on it. People don't change that easily."

"And if he hasn't changed, we'll deal with him. It's not like we're at a disadvantage anymore."
