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 52

"Hey, you!"

Max jumped back in shock, retreating out of the range of Sylas's sword. It was already a situation where no excuse would work.

A string of curses popped into Max's head, but there wasn't even enough time to spit them out.

'Run!'

The job and everything else didn't matter anymore. If he didn't flee immediately, the knights would capture and kill him.

Just as Max was about to open the door, a teacup flew from Sylas' hand.

Crash!

"Oof!"

The teacup struck Max's head, shattering on impact and causing him to stumble. In that brief moment, Sylas darted out and blocked the door.

"There's no escape!"

'Damn it...!'

Max barely managed to regain his senses, biting his lip as he stepped back. Now, the only escape route left was the window behind him.

After a moment of hesitation, Max turned, sprinted, and threw himself toward the glass.

Smash!

"Argh!"
