Transmigrating into the body of Leon von Hohenzollern, the second son of a Marquis of the North, he appears to be the capital's number one playboy, with his fiancée being the aloof and genius magician, Alyssa.

When his facade crumbles and his clandestine businesses are exposed for danger, the outcome of this high-stakes gamble of power and emotion remains uncertain. It's an adventure of dancing on a knife's edge, the stakes being his life, his freedom, and the warmth that might lie hidden beneath his frozen heart.

Introduction to the continent of Atlas

The continent of Atlas is vast and rife with conflict. Its core of power is the Augustan Empire, an ancient kingdom ruled by humans and ruled by noble fiefdoms. The empire's territory is expansive, but imperial power is unprecedentedly weak due to an aging king and an unresolved succession issue. True power lies in the hands of eight hereditary marquises, who vie for control of their own territories, forming alliances and maneuvering between "royalistism," "neutrality," and "separatism," posing a severe challenge to the empire's unity.

Other intelligent races and civilizations on the continent are equally important: the Elven Empire in the west lives in seclusion in the Eversong Forest, guarding ancient magical secrets; the Dwarven Empire has established a magnificent underground kingdom beneath the Broken Blade Mountains, and its people are excellent craftsmen and miners; the Orc Empire in the Crimson Wasteland in the east worships strength and has been fighting against humans for thousands of years; the Swamp Kingdom in the Weeping Swamp in the southeast is mysterious and xenophobic, believing in the life force of corruption; the sea creatures of the Ocean Kingdom rule the endless deep blue; and the legendary giants, dragons and other ancient beings remain aloof, quietly observing the changes of the world.

Currently, the continent is on the eve of transformation. Within the Augustus Empire, the "magical steam engine" technological revolution initiated by Leon von Hohenzollern is challenging the traditional magical power system represented by Elisa Windsor. The clash between old and new forces, intertwined with imperial succession, noble intrigue, and racial grudges, is about to unleash a sweeping wave of destiny across this ancient land.

Goldshire Bankruptcy Lord's Survival Story

Upon waking up, Li Ang found himself the bankrupt viscount of Goldshire. Faced with a massive debt of 50 gold coins, an empty granary, and a watchful tax collector, his only hope was an unreliable "Multiverse Summoning System." However, the "saviors" the system sent were all increasingly disastrous: the dim-witted water goddess Aqua only knew how to cry and flood, the explosive witch Megumin was easily defeated with a single move a day, the rebellious knight Kai was always looking for a fight, and the craftsman elf specialized in creating junk... To make matters worse, he had also impulsively stolen the silver-haired witch's personal clothing and was now being relentlessly hunted down.

Food crisis, overwhelming debt, and surrounded by powerful enemies. In desperation, Li Ang frantically summons all sorts of oddballs and jinxes, only to be met with either good-for-nothings or disasters: the useless middle-aged man MADAO, a muscular burly man, a girl who loves instant noodles, and even a pink-haired demon who revels in killing! Stealing underwear, defecating at the door, blowing up fishponds… this group of freaks pushes his lordly career into an even deeper quagmire in all sorts of unbelievable ways. When Fat Cat Ban arrives and the silver-haired witch comes knocking, Li Ang realizes that his path to survival, aided by a terrible system and incompetent teammates, has already been a headlong rush towards hell… This is an absurd survival comedy that teeters between starvation, poverty, and reckless suicide!
