Ashen Lord : I Start With Unranked Troops
The sky cracked. Eight billion people were dragged into Aethelgard, where every soul received a Lord Core, a starting territory, and the right to recruit troops by rank and rarity.
I got three square kilometers of ash, a crumbling watchtower, and a single Unranked-I Mud-Slinger who throws dirt.
"Survival probability: 12.4%," the system announced.
"Noted," I replied. "I'll work on the other 87.6%."
Turns out, my soul came with a glitch: the Omni-Forge Interface (O.F.I.). A fragment of the First Architect's origin code that lets me synthesize weak grunts into elite killers, purge curses, and overclock stats-if I can survive the backlash.
While arrogant lords hoard Rare recruits, ancient Sylvani and Khaz-Durn empires vie for dominance, and elite Sovereign Academies gatekeep power behind grueling trials, I'm out here running supply chains, min-maxing morale, and turning scrap-tier troops into a legion that laughs at Epic-tier commanders.
From Iron-tier survival to Academy trials. From border skirmishes to fractured imperial wars. From multiversal void incursions to rewriting the system's source code.
They said the system favors the blessed. Good thing I prefer the broken.
