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 63

His father had a knack for finding the best in people and shaping the narrative around them, guiding everyone's perception in a positive direction. And because it was never forced, those who received his praise were always left feeling genuinely touched. His sincerity was disarming, causing people to pledge their loyalty wholeheartedly.

'And on the other hand, Toby's stubbornness in resisting Father's warmth shows just how strong-willed he is,' Sylas thought, amused by the contrast.

Whether it was because of the curse or simply Toby's unruly nature, he had resisted the count's warmth for a long time.

"Now, enough with the formalities!" the count declared. "This is a day to celebrate the return of heroes!"

After the duel, the estate was a flurry of activity as servants scrambled to prepare for the impromptu feast. Ulrich wore a smile, but he couldn't stop his lips from twitching in frustration.

'Damn it, I took a hit this time, little brother.'
