Lord of Caldera

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.

Chapter 120

"This could even involve the entire Corleone family," Max added gravely.

"Which is exactly the point," Sylas replied.

"Excuse me?"

"The count gave me this gift with that intent in mind. By making me a target, he can push me into this war, force me to use Toby and Rey, and even involve the Corleone family."

"And you accepted, knowing all that?"

"Because taking her was still in my best interest," Sylas said with a faint smile as he approached the elf. She glared at him with the intensity of someone ready to tear him apart, which only made him smirk.

"Alv-seden. De'aran lo ra." Sylas said in elvish.

"...!" The elf's eyes widened in shock, as did the other retainers, who turned to Sylas in astonishment.

"My lord, you know elvish?" Max asked, unable to hide his surprise.

"I studied it once," Sylas replied casually.

"And what did you just say?"
