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 35 The Madam Is Vomiting Blood

"Great-Aunt, how did this happen? The last time I saw you, you showed no signs of illness."

'It's because of you! It's all because of you!'

It was fortunate that her body was stiff. If she had been able to move, she would have pointed at him and screamed her true feelings.

Pretending to be oblivious, Sylas continued to chatter.

"You provided me with so much kindness, inviting Lady Martina and other notable figures to give me an education better than that of any noble child."

Sylas closed his eyes as if reminiscing, muttering quietly.

"The people you invited to teach me were all well-respected. They thought highly of me and spread their praises. Isn't that the kind of valuable connection that's hard to come by?"

Thanks to you, I gained connections.

"And every one of them called me a genius. Thanks to that, my name is now known in society, and despite my illegitimate birth, many are curious about me."
