Level Up, Rule All: From Chains to Absolute Dominion

Luke Vaughn transmigrates and becomes the Emperor of Dareth—a ruler in name only, as real power rests with the empress dowager. In the original timeline, he is deposed, imprisoned, starved, and ultimately killed. Determined to change his fate, Luke rises from the prison and methodically seizes power, step by step. Amid a crumbling dynasty, he stands his ground and turns the tide at the brink of ruin.
