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

"This elevated view does make the world feel different. What a magnificent seat. So, this is the throne I was meant to inherit."

Rozier's eyes glistened with unshed tears. Maximilian let out a dry, hollow laugh, filled with resignation.

"How foolish. If I had known this seat was so splendid, I would have waited. I would have simply waited to sit here first, to see the world from here."

He recalled his dissatisfaction with his father, Zichard, a man unable to overpower the great nobles and enforce imperial authority. Maximilian had been discontent with the authority he was meant to inherit.

So, he sought to grow it—build it into something towering, something that touched the heavens, from which he could look down on all.

In doing so, he dismissed the throne he had never sat upon, belittling its significance. Yet now, as he sat in it, the seat felt far more alluring and comfortable than he had ever imagined.
