When an gaming junkie choked on his soda and died, he found himself transmigrated into the body of a prince from a once-powerful but now declining empire. Along with this new lease on life, he obtained a Conquest System that enables him to conquest for heroines pretty easily. Would he be able to restore him empires's glory, while creating a harem along the way.

Kai woke up gasping, his heart racing as flashes of the apocalypse he had lived through seared through his mind. The world that had once been a playground of technological marvels had devolved into chaos. Yet here he was, alive again—thirty years earlier, in a time when everything was still pristine and full of potential. The world was dominated by Eden Virtual, a groundbreaking system where people connected through neural links to fight, build, and survive in dynamic simulations. Wars were fought virtually, and status in Eden translated into real-world power. Companies sponsored the best players, building empires in this dual-reality economy. Kai had been an ordinary player in his first life, barely scraping by in the Bronze rank. But now, with his memories intact, he knew the rise and fall of the biggest corporations, the glitches that would be exploited, and even the secret algorithms that controlled matchmaking. Still, success wouldn't come easily. To establish his legacy, he needed to do more than survive; he had to dominate. Kai’s rank was reset to Iron 0. With 150 points needed to climb to Iron, he logged in to his first match. The virtual world materialized around him—a jungle biome with dense vegetation and traps scattered across the terrain. Opponents could be lurking anywhere. His team was inexperienced, but Kai led them with precision, recalling strategies from his past life. They barely secured victory, and Kai earned 20 points. A small step forward, but the path to Mythic rank was daunting. Kai wasn’t just here to play. He was here to innovate. Using his foresight, he began developing a virtual combat training system, which would become the foundation of his future empire. With every match, he gathered data, refined his approach, and carefully navigated the complex web of alliances and rivalries in both the game and the real world. But as Kai climbed the ranks, he realized his rebirth had set off ripples he hadn’t foreseen. The players who had once been nobodies were now climbing faster than expected. Something—or someone—was altering the timeline. Could he outwit this new force, or was he doomed to repeat the mistakes of his first life?

I look longingly into Irina’s blue eyes on this tranquil night. I am about to ask her, “Irina… will… will you…” She looks at me with curiosity, “Will I what Franz?” Suddenly a deafening boom sounds throughout the city. Then the city’s air raid sirens scream to life with its ear splitting shrieking. The wispy fingers of the searchlights probe the cloudy night sky. Irina and I look at each other in alarm. We silently agree, we need to find out what is happening. Germany, Toter Garten, 1944. The flames of the Second World War have engulfed Europe, no longer sparing the German people.
