That time when I can inherit past kings

Rudra, an ordinary Bengali young man, dies after being poisoned by his own relatives. Instead of disappearing, his soul is reincarnated into the body of Prince Jagraj, the sole heir of a snow-covered frontier kingdom. Upon awakening, Rudra discovers that Jagraj himself had recently been poisoned. Rather than killing him, the poison awakens Rudra's sealed memories and triggers the awakening of the Golden Om, an ancient royal inheritance connected to a legendary poison-resistant king. As Rudra recovers Jagraj's memories, he learns a horrifying truth. The original Jagraj murdered his own father, the king, believing he had poisoned the First Queen—Jagraj's mother. Later, a letter from the late Prime Advisor reveals the truth: the queen's death had been an accident caused by a switched poisoned meal. Manipulated by palace intrigue, Jagraj unknowingly became a patricide and inherited a kingdom on the brink of collapse. The kingdom faces danger from two directions. Beyond the snowy mountains live powerful Demons, while the Barbarians occupy the mountain regions. Although the Barbarians often fight alongside the kingdom against the Demons, they have been repeatedly betrayed by the royal family, who enslave their children instead of rewarding their sacrifices. This has pushed the frontier to the edge of war. He then turns his attention to the mysterious Ninth Queen. By using Eye of the True Past on her, he learns hidden truths about her past and realises she is far more dangerous than she appears. Outwardly he remains calm, but inwardly he begins plotting against her, understanding that she played a major role in creating the tyrant Jagraj. Overall, the novel is shaping up as a dark fantasy kingdom-building isekai centred on political intrigue, hidden conspiracies, reincarnation, evolving supernatural powers, and a morally grey protagonist who must decide whether to remain the tyrant everyone believes him to be—or become the king the kingdom truly needs.
