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 103

Leon clutched his forehead, looking bewildered.

"Did… did I just get hit?"

The incident had happened so suddenly that he wasn't entirely sure. It wasn't until Sylas spoke that he fully grasped the situation.

"This time, I was faster."

Leon's eyes trembled at Sylas's calm voice. How could this be? He hadn't even seen the sword move.

"It's just a fluke! It has to be!" he thought, suppressing his anxiety and readying himself again. Clearly, his own impatience had left an opening for the attack. This time, he resolved to approach calmly to avoid making the same mistake.

"If I just get close enough to knock his wooden sword aside…"

Thwack.

"Ugh!?"

As soon as their wooden swords clashed, Leon felt a spark of pain flare on his forehead again. Sylas's sword had struck precisely the same spot.

Leon staggered backward, eyes wide in disbelief.

"What on earth…!?"
