Octavia Kingmaker

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

When the heir to a vast and powerful conglomerate finds himself in the role of a humble, live-in son-in-law, his every action seems baffling, even laughable. Whispers follow him, people wondering, "Why does he act without fear? How does a man with no apparent wealth or influence walk so confidently in a world where hierarchy is everything, and the poor bow to the whims of the rich?" But for those bold—or foolish—enough to challenge him, the truth soon becomes clear: they've gravely underestimated him. Beneath the facade of a lowly son-in-law lies a man of unimaginable power, one who could bring even the mightiest to their knees with a mere word. The world sees a pauper, but in reality, he is the kingmaker, the silent force who moves the pieces behind the scenes. As the powerful Lockwood family plots and schemes, they’re unaware of the storm that’s about to engulf them. And at the center of it all is a man they thought they could ignore—a man who might just be their downfall. In this world of betrayal, ambition, and hidden strength, will he finally reveal who he truly is, or will he let them continue to underestimate him... until it’s too late?

Aybel, an analytical cynic at heart enters the crown realm of Alcazar, against his will. Trapped, escape seems impossible. That is... until the Kingmaker, the Monarch of this domain, reveals that there is a way out - by becoming a Monarch himself. What's more, as he uncovers the secrets of the Monarch, his role may not be quite what he expected...

It's like they have their fate swapped since one has the nature that she shouldn't be having. While the other has the instinct to do the thing that he shouldn't be doing. "I don't think a mere human should be doing that." Feeling nausea by the scenery before her eyes. Indeed... she is the only vampire on earth who hates blood. He pulled out the dagger from the body he step upon without even battling his eyes. His vision is now raised to the lady that is trying to stop looking at the blood that starts pooling. "Says someone who should be drooling over a little 'feast' but didn't." His word somehow is getting on her nerves. The scarlet eyes she possessed, glimmered in the pitch black of the night. "We don't know each other. But I have decided that I hate you." Atlas smirked at the view of the nails that sharpened by the corner of his eyes.  "Feasty, I know the reason why you are here." Octavia flinch. Her fingers curl into a fist with her eyelids shut closed, deeply inhaling her breath trying to calm herself. Slowly the beautiful eyelashes flutter as it opens. Her cornea turned back to its initial color, black. "Good girl. Now tell me, who sent you here?"  He cleans up the dagger he holds while listening tentatively. Looking straight at the person standing in front of her. She speaks, "You are Atlas Soreus?" "I am," he replied calmly. "I need your help, sir." His hand movement halt for a brief second. Keeping his smirk that haven't faded, he raised his head. Facial expression turns cold. "A vampire... Need help from a mere human?" Seeing the serious face in front of him. He chuckled in the mid of the silence. "Interesting."
