The Emperor System - Between Worlds
A million years ago, the First Emperor vanished, leaving behind a throne that governs reality itself. In his absence, his servants stole the world, rebranding themselves as the Ancient Families and ruling humanity from the shadows.
They thought the true bloodline was extinguished. They were wrong.
Evan Kyros was just a starving student in the slums of New Orelis, fighting eviction and drowning in debt. But one night, the world stopped, and the Emperor System chose him.
Offered the three pillars of absolute power—The Apex (Strength), The Nexus (Magic), and The Aurum (Wealth)—Evan understood that in a modern world, gold is sharper than any sword. He chose The Aurum as his foundation.
Now, armed with a Tier 1 account boasting unlimited funds and an Intelligence stat breaking the human limit, Evan has the power to buy the world. But this is only the beginning. To reclaim the Throne, he must eventually unlock the full Trinity—mastering the Body and the Spell to become the true Emperor.
But the Ancient Families are watching from their glass towers. Worse still, the Heirs of other Gods are descending, seeking to claim the empty throne for themselves.
Forced to mask his identity while rising from the slums of New Orelis, Evan must wage a silent war where influence is ammunition and legal tender is the deadliest weapon of all.
He doesn’t need to dethrone the false Kings just yet. He just needs to lay the first stone of his own Empire.
Author's Note: This is Book One of the Emperor System saga. The MC is a high-intelligence strategist who builds power through wealth, influence, and deception (The Aurum Path) before unlocking combat and magical abilities (Apex and Nexus) in later volumes. Expect kingdom-building, ruthless business tactics, and a protagonist who outsmarts the world.
