The Puppet King Is Born

Desmond was your average hardworking man. He worked at a steel plant 6 days a week. His only worries were paying bills and managing his diabetes. All of that changed when he suddenly collapsed in his apartment. When his eyes opened again, he was under a tree covered in sapphire-colored leaves. He hears a female voice in his head.



[System Intergration Complete]



Not long after waking up he is summoned by his father. Duke Reginald Bloodheart slides him an envelope. Inside the envelope is a paper informing him of his acceptance into the Royal Magic Academy. Reginald didn't hesitate to tell Desmond to pack.



The system informs Desmond that he has zero chance of inheriting anything his father has. He will not inherit the land, money, or the title. The only way for Desmond to have any sort of chance at making a life for himself would be the academy.



The night before he departs, he receives a visit from his sister Eliza. Eliza gives him an ominous message. His stepmother and older siblings don't just want him out the house. They want him dead.



Desmond went from only two worries to an infinite amount. He went from not having enemies to not knowing who he can trust.



In this new world Desmond will claw his way out of the mud to the top. His name will carry enough weight to crush his family with a single word.
