The Kingmaker Series Kennedy Ryan

Kairos Veyne was a nobody in the real world, a shut-in gamer who spent his life grinding through the legendary RPG Eternal Dominion. His unhealthy lifestyle finally caught up to him, and in the middle of achieving the game’s ultimate victory, he dropped dead from a heart attack. But instead of fading into oblivion, he wakes up in Eternal Dominion itself, reborn as an impossibly handsome version of himself with god-tier stats and a broken ability that lets him generate any weapon, armor, or item he desires, as long as he gathers the right elements. However, Kairos isn’t placed at the top of the food chain. He is reborn in a struggling kingdom on the verge of destruction, caught between warring nations and monstrous threats. The only reason he survives? The kingdom’s young ruler swears loyalty to him on sight, sensing his overwhelming power. Determined to build his own legend, Kairos begins strengthening the kingdom, forging legendary weapons, training warriors, and crushing enemies with ease. But his rise to power doesn’t go unnoticed. Enter Seraphina Drakos, the pride of the Draconian Kingdom, an elite knight tasked with destroying the very nation Kairos protects. She challenges him in battle, and despite his overwhelming strength, he finds her fierce determination and skill intriguing. What starts as a rivalry soon turns into something more, but love is complicated when both of their nations are sworn enemies. As Kairos levels up, he discovers that the world is not exactly like the game he once knew. Darker forces are moving in the shadows, forbidden dungeons appear where they shouldn't, and legendary figures from the game’s lore have minds of their own. Even the true purpose of his reincarnation remains a mystery. With his power growing at an absurd rate, his kingdom rising to prominence, and his slow-burn romance with an enemy knight threatening to turn into something more, Kairos is faced with one ultimate question: Will he conquer the world like the Overlord he was destined to be, or will he rewrite the game’s fate and forge his own path? One thing is certain. This time, he won’t be bound by game mechanics. He is the system now.

"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.

In the sweltering heat of a Bangkok suburb, a new semester dawned on the public university, casting a spotlight on the city's most infamous clique: The Elite and The Tops. Renowned among students from various schools and universities for their captivating visuals, impeccable style, and intriguing aura, they were the epitome of youthful glamour and sophistication. At the heart of this tangled web were three individuals bound by a shared trauma: Siriporn "Siri" Ratanawong, the stunning 19-year-old architecture student with a secret she dare not speak; Ratchanon "Chan" Chaiyaphum, the charismatic law student with a penchant for painting and a hidden past; and Sarawut "Wut" Thongkham, the brooding medicine student with a talent for art and a soul tormented by guilt.

The scent of jasmine and smoke lingered in the air, a haunting reminder that the past was never truly buried. As the semester unfolded, Siri, Chan, and Wut would find themselves torn between their desire for justice and their need for survival. Would they be able to confront the darkness that had haunted them for so long, or would it consume them, once and for all?

The longer I'm around her the stronger my feelings get for her. I'm so lucky to have her in my life. The red lights of the sky cast upon her face and the waters glitter all around her as her laughter peals through the air; she innocently splashes water at me. I have no clue if she knows we've been engaged since birth but regardless, I want her to choose me out of love. Not because we are betrothed to each other. It started getting dark out and the red sky started turning a deep purple. I don't know what compelled me to ask her why Fang was mad at her for but I needed to know. The moment she told me that they were gonna be like her mommy and daddy I felt my blood boil. I feel bad that I lost my temper but I never want to be mad at her so the only thing I could think of was to hold her. She's my happy place. I can feel her pull back a bit and gulp but I still keep my eyes closed. If I open them...I might just kiss her.
