The Architect of the Eternal Empire in A Song of Ice and Fire
Marcos Vidal Santacruz, a 28-year-old Argentine-Spanish historian and archaeologist, dies in the most absurd way possible during a routine excavation in Bolivia. His death is neither heroic, nor tragic, nor even memorable: it is pathetically comical.
But his death was not natural either.
A Higher Being, distracted and emotionally devastated after a monumental fight with his wife, executes a catastrophic cosmic adjustment. When Marcos awakens in the afterlife, he finds himself facing a deity who, between sighs of marital weariness and divine arrogance, offers him compensation: three spins of a cosmic roulette wheel that will define his new existence.
First spin: The power, knowledge, and experience of Anos Voldigoad, the Demon King capable of rewriting the laws of reality.
Second spin: The Minecraft Creative Mode. The Higher Being vomits blood upon seeing the protagonist's fate. Marcos celebrates with a dance.
Third twist: He is sent to the universe of A Song of Ice and Fire, 297 AC, just before the rise of Daenerys Targaryen.
Marcos curses his luck. Westeros is a hell of betrayal, violence, fanatical religions, and bloody politics. But it is precisely this chaos that makes it the perfect breeding ground to build something no empire in history has ever achieved: absolute permanence.
Armed with absolute arcane knowledge, limitless resources, and his training as a historian of fallen empires, Marcos embarks on building an empire inspired by the grandeur of the Spanish Empire, adapted to a world of dark fantasy. But greatness comes at a price: devastating wars, bloody betrayals, impossible choices, and the constant risk of losing his humanity in the process.
And when he finally consolidates his empire in Westeros
