I never asked to be a hero. But I sure as hell never asked to be the final boss. One minute, I was a normal college student. The next, I woke up in another world with a system message that sealed my fate: [Welcome. You have been chosen as a Dungeon Master.] My new job? Build an infinite fortress of monsters and traps to crush the heroes who come for glory. Forget saving the world-I'm the villain they fear. The heroes are coming. My dungeon is hungry.

The world sees a chessboard; Fardous Ahmed Arnob sees the atoms that make up the wood. ​By day, Arnob is a quiet, struggling scholarship student at Tokyo's elite Arnobix University, enduring the pity of the wealthy and the mockery of the arrogant. But beneath the surface of his "humble" life lies a reality no government can grasp. He is the architect of FAA Global and the sovereign ruler of the Kingdom of Fardaus-a hidden, hyper-advanced city-state protected by technology decades ahead of modern science. ​While Rino Okada, the heiress to a tech empire, tries to protect him with 500-yen convenience store sandwiches, she remains blissfully unaware that her father's entire corporation is merely a minor data-node in Arnob's vast network. From the Orbital Aegis-a stealth space station hidden from NASA-to a global army of invisible drones, Arnob controls the world's economy and security from his smartphone. ​But as global tensions rise and "ignorant rivals" threaten the peace he has built, the invisible emperor must balance his double life. How long can you rule the world from the back of a classroom before the crown becomes too heavy to hide?
