First book of Grandeur Fantasia. Second book is Grandeur Fantasia 2. Leon Rivelia, the heir to the largest conglomerate company in the world, was suddenly transported to a fantasy world. The previous world he lived in, the business world, is a place where nothing could be trusted. Everyone lies to fulfill their desires. Utter sweet, sweet words to others to lower their guards and stab them without hesitation to gain profit. It was natural for them. The beings called humans. That's why ignorance was indeed a bliss. That way, one wouldn't see the ugliness of human's greed. However, that was not the case with Leon. Born with the talent to see through lies and the ugliness of human's thoughts and feelings, he lost the ability to trust in others. In this new fantasy world which was similar to a game he played, he would meet people he could call his friends, fall in love, and find the meaning of trust as Leon Misteltein. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you enjoy my story, please come support me in my Patreon!!! https://www.patreon.com/verglasx

After a takeover at Constellation, elite executives control the power of the stars. The son of a wealthy exec, Cristo feels entitled to a better future.
