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 74

Sylas turned to his companions. "It's unfortunate that there were only ten knights. Looks like we'll have to handle the demon ourselves."

"…M-My lord, aren't all those holy knights dead right over there?" one of the knights stammered, staring at the mangled bodies in the mist.

"They're fakes. Seriously, how many times do I have to tell you not to believe everything you see?" Sylas clicked his tongue and pointed toward the gruesome corpses.

"How could a mere succubus tear people apart like that? It might kill through fear or emotional torment, but not like this."

"Then what are we looking at?" another knight asked, still skeptical.

"An illusion. The faces might be based on real people, but what you're seeing is a fabrication. If the demon's showing us this, the real ones are likely in a safe zone somewhere," Sylas explained calmly.
