Let me start with a fun fact about me:
I died.
In a plane crash.
Tragic, right? Yeah, I thought so too… until I opened my eyes and found myself
lying in a king-sized bed wearing silk pajamas in a medieval-looking castle.
Was this heaven?
No.
Was this hell?
Also no.
This was worse—I'd been isekai'd into a fantasy novel
I once ignored for having "too much politics."
Apparently, I was now Crown Prince Lucien Valmont, the
older brother of the actual main character. Sounds fancy, huh? Except…
in the original story, I'm just a background extra who dies early on to make
the main hero sad and strong. Like, "boohoo my brother's dead, time to
train" kind of sad.
So yeah. Not great.
I tried to stay calm.
"Okay," I told myself. "You've read enough manhwa. You know the drill. All
transmigrators get OP systems or cheat skills. Just say the magic words."
"Status window!" I shouted dramatically.
Nothing.
"Open inventory!" I tried again. Still nothing.
Just as I was about to cry into my silk pillow, a holographic blue window
popped up with a ding:
Congratulations! You've unlocked the [Strongest Emperor System]
– Task: Conquer the world
– Perks: Cheat Skills, Mega Buffs, and Slight Arrogance Boost
– Penalty for Failure: Permanent Death (again lol)
Oh. Cool cool cool cool. No pressure.
So now I had a choice:
·
Follow the plot, die tragically, and be
forgotten
OR
·
Break the script, use my shiny new system, and rule
this world like an overachieving maniac in denial.
Naturally, I chose the second.
And hey, it wasn't all bad. I even got a special starter pack:
·
1x Book of Future Events
·
1x Buffed Sword of Destiny (glows when I flex)
·
1x Confused Best Friend
·
And 1x Pet Dragon who refuses to listen to me
I know what you're thinking:
"Wow, he must be super smart and calculating!"
Nope.
I just read a lot of web novels during exam season and somehow that
became my actual training.
Now, with cheat skills in my pocket, a villainous prince to punch in the
face, and a plot to hijack, I swear—
I will not die a side character.
I will rule this life… as an Emperor!
Unless I forget to save the world in time. Then, well… I die again.
But let's not worry about that.
Want
me to continue Chapter 2 where he meets his
younger brother (the original MC) and accidentally becomes a meme in the
kingdom
