Reborn as Prince Varre, thirteenth in line to the throne, no one expected him to achieve anything of note. This suited him just fine. Free from the responsibilities of his college life, the new prince enjoyed the newfound freedom that came with wealth and prestige. Unfortunately, thirteenth wasn’t far enough. Thrust upon the throne, Varre realizes that ruling a kingdom isn’t all fun and games. There are threats that want to destroy him, people that depend on him, and time is a limited resource. Shackled back to stress and responsibilities, can he find a way towards freedom again? Follow along on his adventures. As Varre struggles with political intrigue and various threats that want to strike him down, can he find a way back towards a better work life balance? Will he ever relax again? Schedule: 5x ~2500 word chapters a week. What to expect: - Political intrigue - Different factions vying for power - We start off slow with the LitRPG elements, but they will grow with time as our hero learns new skills and gets more involved with military matters
