I Became an Overlord
In the kingdom of Avaros, where power dictates fate, Cedric Ashford, a minor noble's son, dreams of carving out a name for himself. When he is summoned to the Grand Academy, the training ground for the kingdom’s future rulers and warriors, he believes it is his chance to rise above his lowly station. But fate has other plans.
On the eve of his departure, a mysterious golden orb appears before him, searing visions of a burning kingdom, a shattered sky, and an empty golden throne into his mind. When he awakens, a system has bound itself to his soul, one that speaks of the path yet taken.
As Cedric navigates the cutthroat world of the Academy, he must learn to harness the power of the system, uncover the truth behind the golden throne, and survive the ambitions of nobles, mages, and warriors who would see him crushed. But the system is not a gift, it is a curse with a purpose beyond his understanding.
"A throne is not taken, nor given, it is seized by those willing to bleed for it."
