The Awakening of the Poison Lord

Suddenly ripped from his routine and thrust into the Primordial Continent, Arthur, a 27-year-old budget analyst, finds himself immersed in the onset of the Era of Lords alongside fantastical and extraterrestrial civilizations. The ultimate purpose behind this global summoning remains an unfathomable mystery, but the rule of this new world is clear: domination demands efficiency. Without legendary powers or a foreordained destiny, Arthur’s sole advantage is his Cartesian mind, trained in resource optimization and calculating risk with absolute coldness. Rejecting impulsive choices and uncertain mechanics, he assumes command of a starting fiefdom relying on pure tactical logic and familiarity with the terrain. Armed with a limited number of poison spells and a mere three basic recruits to secure his 100-square-meter perimeter, Arthur must convert data, error margins, and empirical observations into military power. On a colossal chessboard where the future is completely unpredictable, the Lord will prove that cold strategy and discipline are worth more than any miracle.
