The Golden King

The world is a tinderbox, and every ember must be extinguished for the great, cleansing fire to come."

Born beneath the shadow of a hungry leviathan-the corrupt Kingdom of Rondon-Le'garde was never an ordinary child. Possessed of a "Radiating Soul" and an unsettling, cold ambition, he watched as the empire's greed brought his family to the brink of starvation. To save the world, he realized he had to enter the belly of the beast.

Le'garde's rise through the Rondonian military is a masterclass in ruthless strategy and intellectual dominance. While the Kingdom treats its soldiers as expendable pawns in an "attrition economy," Le'garde fights for a different goal. But a divine visitation from the New God Nilvan shifts his gaze from a mortal crown to a golden throne of godhood.

To achieve the eternal, he must embrace the attributes of a god: Endlessness, Dominance, Enlightenment, and Torment.

Follow the journey of the man who would be God-from the tactical brilliance of the Acomb campaign to the blood-stained snow of the Oldegård massacre. He is not a butcher; he is a surgeon. And his final strategic gambit begins with a voluntary descent into the legendary Dungeons of Fear and Hunger.
