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 65

In truth, Dani had no desire to stand alongside a half-blood bastard. But the aftermath of the recent assassination attempt had caused too much of a stir. If he made a fuss here about being paired with a commoner, it was certain that his father's suppressed rage would finally explode.

Damn it, how did my life end up like this? Dani thought bitterly, but the Count seemed oblivious to his inner turmoil, sighing with some regret.

"Traditionally, both parents should attend a coming-of-age ceremony, but Helena couldn't be here due to her illness. It's a shame."

"It's only natural. Her health is more important. Please don't worry," Sylas reassured him.

Helena had recently gone to the family's villa to manage her emotional turmoil. The truth was, just the thought of witnessing Sylas's coming-of-age ceremony made her blood boil. It was a wise decision, at least in terms of preventing her condition from worsening.
