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 224

"Well, I'm sorry for your proud introduction, but we have no clue."

"...!"

Gerard's face turned bright red. He seemed more insulted by Ray's calm response than by Sylas's dismissal.

"So, this must be your first time in the West?"

"I was here half a year ago."

"…I see. Then it's understandable if you're unfamiliar."

At the mention of "half a year ago," Gerard seemed to calm down slightly.

"Allow me to inform you, then. Are you familiar with the Herning Count's family and the four families under them?"

"Yes, quite well."

"Until recently, those five families held a monopoly on power in the West. However, with the elven trade booming, things have changed considerably."

With the influx of trade, people, and money, the five families profited tremendously. But they weren't the only ones to benefit from the trade.
