THE NOSTALGIA KING

He was a boy who loved the past more than his own life. A history student who searched for meaning in stories of lost worlds — until one quiet night, he simply stopped waking up. When his eyes opened again, it was not in his small apartment, but in a land of stars and magic — as Leo von Eldoria, heir to a noble house, born into a world that felt strangely… familiar. He could name ancient ruins no one remembered. He could finish verses that had no author. Every dream he dreamed felt like a memory calling him home. They called him a prodigy. But Leo only smiled, quietly — for he carried the sadness of two lives in one heart. A silent System waits inside him, whispering of destiny and forgotten power. But he refuses to use it, believing his rebirth to be a mistake — a glitch of fate, unearned and undeserved. Yet as darkness stirs again — as the world begins to fade, and the same ancient void returns to devour creation — Leo must face the truth: he has walked this road before. Once, he was Altherion, the historian who sealed the end of the world. Now, he is Leo — the boy who must remember what it means to live. With his loyal fox spirit, his friends, and the love he never thought he deserved, he will fight not to destroy the darkness, but to teach it to remember — to turn silence into song, and memory into peace. For the world forgets, but he remembers. And in remembering… he becomes what destiny always meant him to be — THE NOSTALGIA KING.

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
