One choice was enough to change two worlds. When a classroom is forced into an impossible decision, one student willingly chooses death to save everyone else. Forgotten by the world he left behind, he awakens in the Netherworld a kingdom ruled by the King. There are no blessings. No cheat skills. No level system. Instead, he must survive brutal trials under the King's Black Knight before climbing the hierarchy of the Seven Thrones, each preserving an ancient martial doctrine forged through centuries of war. Every lesson teaches more than strength it teaches the burden of leadership, sacrifice, and the responsibility required to one day stand upon the highest throne. While his classmates are celebrated as heroes in another world, he is forged into something entirely different. Yet the Netherworld is not the realm of evil humanity believes it to be. It is the final fortress standing between creation and an ancient force older than death itself. To inherit the Throne of the Netherworld, strength alone will never be enough. A throne is not inherited. It is earned.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views over the recent window.
