what is cardinal utility approach

Morn transmigrates into a fantasy world where demons run rampant, vampire families stand tall in the darkness all year round, werewolves that are preparing for something in the darkness, and angels who occasionally descend into the human world. As a cardinal of the Orthodox Church, Morn had been bound to the nine-to-five system after he arrives in this world. As long as he's at work, he can obtain a large number of rewards by checking in. Therefore, having been in the ten years of the Orthodox Church, he becomes an invincible existence. Although he is the strongest in the Orthodox Church, he has one flaw—he never works overtime. "Your Holiness, Cardinal Morn personally went to the Dark Forest and killed all the dark cat demons." "Your Holiness, Cardinal Morn just returned from the Bloodthirsty Demon Abyss with the head of the Bloodthirsty Demonic Dragon." "Your Holiness, this is bad! Dracula I brought his army of vampires here to take revenge. " Pope: "Quick, get Cardinal Morn." "B-but Cardinal Morn has knocked off. He has a rule that he works 9-to-5. He never works overtime." Pope: "We're doomed. Our Orthodox Church's 300-year history shall end here."

But be warned... there is much unseen, much unknown of the reality you see, of the Prince called 786... Welcome to Ariadne!!! A world in which all truths can be revealed...

[It's Genderbend!] The world has ended, apparently. I sat down on an overgrown patch of grass, contemplating about things. Soft and fair skin, a frail figure that could snap, lustrous long hair... And a fairly modest chest? Ah, is it that troupe? Where I turned into a girl. Surprising, that's for sure. ...But, does it have to be in a world like this?

{{Cardinal Stories Book 2}} There once lived a scholar named Sora King, he knew the ins and outs of society as it pertained to magic, he understood and mastered the magic system that ran the world. When it came to magic there was none more knowledgeable than him, because of it he was dubbed the scholar of magic, he taught lessons and discovered theorems helping some of the greatest magic institutions and families gain a foothold. Frankly, he was a shining success in the founding generations, he helped many of history's greatest mages across the world awaken domains and create magic bloodlines that would live well beyond them. In all of his works however, the one thing Sora could never do, His one regret in all of his life, the area he felt he failed himself the most, was that he never bothered to awaken even a basic element. He never gave himself time for love because it would give the many, enemies he made leverage over him to use him for his knowledge. Consequently, he died at the age of 19 as he simply had too many enemies to fend off with just wit and resources alone, he was struck down by the magic spell of his lifelong brother-in-arms at the forefront of war. What surprised Sora however, was the fact that not only was he given a swift death, but he was put further down on the path to reincarnation, Rather than being revived 100 years later where his name would still be very well known, he was revived 1,000 years later in the modern era. His name was still known but there was no chance for him to be recognised or hunted by a vast majority of his enemies. As a plus, he not only kept his knowledge of magic but was reborn into the body of a dead orphan ironically also named Sora. In this life Sora was going to take the path of magic he so neglected till now and make himself one of the greats of history once more, and he planned to do it by breaking all possible records along the way regardless of if he went public with his feats.

All things considered, fate is the determining factor of life and most of the time, she stays neutral...and when the wheels begin to move, you either receive the grains of blessings or be at the end of that short stick.

After slithering for so long through the darkness, he finally spots a flicker of light; and he'd be damned if he doesn't reach out to it. And as if a switch had been pressed, his life changes for the better... of course; not without life throwing in a couple of lemons here and there! This time, he shall be the driver of his new life and no longer the passenger, his Will never to be questioned. Approached with a legacy he had no clue he was a part of, Jacob takes the whole of the cake, after all...a starving man ought to always bite off more than he can chew.

Thrust into a modern world, this ancient entity must now navigate the grotesque reality of having a physical form, balancing his cosmic arrogance against the very human humiliation of being cold, tired, and thirsty. However, Reise has no interest in blending in. His complete disregard for human social architecture is drawing dangerous eyes.

As he balances his identity as a force of nature with his creeping, inconvenient humanity, the world is about to learn a brutal lesson. Reise is not a pawn in their game; he is the player coming to consume the pieces.
