Lord Of The Seawers

Born an orphan into a life of sickness and decay, Elias wanted only one thing: to live purely, die quietly, and ascend to the paradise he was promised. As the sickly "Miracle Child" of a dying world, he almost made it. He almost freaking tasted eternity. [ERROR: IMPURITY DETECTED] [ASCENSION DENIED] Instead of Paradise's gates, Elias wakes up in the sweaty, musky sheets of Atlas Keeves: the last heir of a disgraced noble line, broke and universally despised. Fine, he thinks. This body won't last long either. I'll just try again. [ASCENSION DENIED] And again..  [ASCENSION DENIED] [ASCENSION DENIED] [ASCENSION DENIED] Now, trapped in a gleaming world of machineries and mystical abilities, where every political player, assassin, and rival wants him dead, Elias must survive. His tools? A decaying estate, a thirst for death, and a glitching Sovereign System whose favorite pastime is insulting him every time he opens his eyes. He may be the new Lord of the Seawers, a man destined to drown in the depths of high society... But in a city this rotten, scum always rises to the top. Ehh...Probably. —Slow burn —Actual plot —Unique system —Cynical MC —Hardtack Worship
