Succession : I M Roman

Waking up in a body that isn't his, a former fan of the show finds himself inhabiting Roman Roy during the high-stakes environment of the Roy family power struggles. He isn't just dealing with a new family; he’s dealing with overlapping memories and a suite of supernatural cognitive abilities known as "The Wounded King’s Arsenal." As he navigates the cutthroat world of Waystar Royco, he carries the heavy burden of meta-knowledge—knowing the tragedies and betrayals before they happen. After failing to prevent the pivotal accident at Shiv’s wedding, he realizes that knowing the future isn't always power; sometimes, it’s a cage. Now, he must use his "Empathy Engine" and "Value Sight" to protect his siblings from their father’s shadow, all while trying to keep his own humanity from being ground away by the corporate machine. The Wounded King’s Arsenal: The Powers Empathy Engine: This allows Roman to perceive surface-level thoughts, emotions, and true intentions. It’s the ultimate tool for "reading the room," letting him know exactly what Logan wants or what Gerri is actually thinking behind her professional mask. Value Sight: A corporate-tier sensory power that reveals the "true value" of assets, companies, and even people. It allows Roman to see the future trajectory of a deal or a person's loyalty, though it carries a high risk of information overload. Silver Tongue: An enhancement to Roman's natural wit, providing a supernatural edge to his persuasion. When he speaks with genuine intent, his words carry a weight that makes it significantly harder for others to dismiss or disagree with his proposals. Trauma Lock: A defensive mental mechanism. It allows Roman to temporarily suppress his own panic, guilt, or emotional pain, keeping him functional and "sharp" during high-pressure board meetings or family confrontations.
