The Warden Of The Forgotten Citadel

In a world abandoned by gods, a struggling blacksmith named Kael is condemned to death for a crime he didn't commit. Instead of meeting his end, he awakens deep inside a long-forgotten dungeon-a crumbling citadel that once served as the seat of power for an ancient Demon King.

Gifted with the "Legacy of Dominion" system, Kael discovers he can rebuild the dungeon into a thriving kingdom. With every level he repairs and every floor he expands, the citadel transforms from a derelict ruin into a stronghold of power. Along the way, Kael must recruit warriors, mages, and even unlikely allies like former monsters and rival adventurers to defend his growing domain from invaders who seek the citadel's treasures.

As Kael strengthens his forces, he uncovers the truth about the dungeon's dark past and his own mysterious connection to the Demon King. To protect his newfound territory and its inhabitants, Kael must balance diplomacy, warfare, and resource management, while unlocking the full potential of the citadel's hidden secrets.
