They don't want me to try anymore.

[You used your unique vision to build factories, develop technologies, and expand overseas trade routes, causing the kingdom's annual revenue to double.]

You invested half of your income in building up the army, and combined it with knowledge from your previous life, successfully commanding two thousand disciplined personal guards.

Hmm? Not bad for a start!

In retrospect, it's fortunate that it's a simulator, which omits many of the difficult details. If I had actually done it myself, I might not have been able to achieve this effect.

Just as Richard was making fun of himself, the text in front of him changed again.

[In the year 3549 of the Caesars calendar, your father, Henry II, the tenth monarch of Connaught, died.]

In the same year, you became King Richard I.

On the third day of his coronation, 15,000 imperial troops besieged the city.

Wait a minute!

Richard was taken aback by the rapidly deteriorating situation. Looking at the negative news constantly popping up on his retina, he gritted his teeth and chose not to surrender!

This save file is all about experiencing the death of a monarch for his country!

You are determined to resist the empire's invasion.

The imperial generals greatly underestimate you, claiming they could conquer this tiny land in the time it takes to eat breakfast.

Taking advantage of his contempt, you arranged for your loyal subordinates to feign surrender, thus deceiving the enemy.

[You successfully defeated the Imperial army, captured the enemy general, and made headlines in newspapers worldwide, earning the title of the Connaught Miracle.]

call……

Richard breathed a slight sigh of relief, then immediately inhaled it back.

[The Emperor of Roland, enraged, ordered Luvia, the empire's renowned general, a near-legendary figure and the Sword Saint, to lead 50,000 men in another invasion.]

No, we only have 500,000 people of all ages in the whole country, and that's not even as many views as a video of a little grass god going barefoot on Bilibili. Do you really need to send 50,000 troops?

It's like pole vaulting over a latrine—just like jumping through excrement!

But Luvia does have an official character illustration...

Richard noticed the portrait of the female general that appeared next to the text.

Around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, tall and slender, with fair skin and a beautiful face. Her eyebrows and eyes were dignified yet heroic. Her fiery red hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and she had a magnificent milky white chest...

Yes, she's a very beautiful and cool older sister type; she could be used as an XP card in a mobile game.

Unfortunately, it’s an enemy.

You personally led the army to resist with all your might.

[In addition to your numerous victories, you also treated the captured Roland soldiers fairly, earning the respect of the enemy.]

[Luvia, not wanting to repeat her predecessor's mistakes, took the initiative to learn about your deeds, praised you highly, and personally wrote a letter to persuade you to surrender.]

In this world, one must keep one's word; if one says one will become Emperor Chongzhen, one must stick to it to the end.

Richard made his choice without hesitation.

You firmly rejected Luvia and expressed your hope that she would treat the Connaught civilians unrelated to the war with the same kindness you showed to Imperial prisoners.

Luvia accepted your suggestion and came up with a plan that would minimize harm to both parties.

That night, she unleashed her near-legendary power and stormed into the palace alone.

You attempted to escape, but were betrayed by the pro-peace nobles and ultimately captured.

[Luvia carried you out of the palace, and during the process, you almost suffocated due to her voluptuous figure.]

Hmm... Is it really necessary to describe this process in such detail?

And to think that one person could... the top experts in the extraordinary world are truly powerful!

It's clear that directly confronting the empire is not an option.

Feeling the pressure conveyed by the brief text, Richard sighed and considered restarting.

Although there were no crooked trees, he wanted to try banging his head against the wall in prison, so at least he could die on his homeland—it was just a simulator, so it wouldn't hurt.

But he soon discovered that sometimes, even if you want to die, it's not that simple...

Because you killed many Rolanders, Emperor Norton I wanted to execute you, but Luvia persuaded him to stop.

You attempted suicide, but Luvia discovered you. She used magic to bind you and locked you in her bedroom, guarding you day and night.

Uh, why lock me in the bedroom...?

Three days later, Luvia pleaded with the emperor to marry you so that you could serve the empire, and the emperor agreed.

……what?

What kind of plot is this?!

Emulator, are you kidding me?!

Although his appearance in this life is indeed exceptionally handsome, only slightly less so than that of the readers...

But surely it's not to the point where one could easily seduce an enemy general?

Could it be that I've actually been a male fox all my life?

Or was it because he had performed too well before, attracting this female sword saint from the inside out?

The simulator information was too brief for him to analyze.

But Richard had no intention of accepting the marriage proposal.

He wanted the king to die for the country, not for the king to become a son-in-law.

You feigned compliance while secretly plotting, finally finding an opportunity to escape under the cover of night.

The next day, you find wanted posters for you all over the empire, and you hear that Luvia has vowed to capture you and bring you back to marry her. There are even rumors that she has prepared a cage.

But thanks to your clever disguise, you still managed to escape the empire and gain your freedom.

Richard did the math; he was only twenty-five, with a long life ahead of him, and the simulator generated rewards based on the dramatic events of life…

Since that's the case, he wants to try something else.

It doesn't matter what you do, as long as it's loud.

You traveled discreetly northwest, but ran out of money along the way.

When you couldn't afford food, you met a white-haired, red-eyed woman outside the city...

Huh?

Another one with character art?

Chapter Two is great, it features white hair and red eyes.

It was some distance from Connaught.

There is a vast palace buried deep underground.

Inside the hall, a black dragon, over a hundred meters long and tightly bound by dark gold chains, opened its eyes.

Who is spying on me?

In the empty and desolate hall, no one answered.

The black dragon exhaled a scorching breath, and its body trembled slightly, causing the entire palace to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

Just as she was about to explore her surroundings more closely, she noticed several lines of text appearing before her eyes.

Black Dragon sneered.

Which god is playing a trick on me?

No, even that bitch doesn't have that kind of power...

...A simulator?

interesting.

Let me see what you really are!

She grinned maliciously, revealing her sharp teeth, and lay back down in the center of the hall.

Start the simulation!

[You have been sealed in the Temple of Calamity by Him for a full thousand years, and finally the seal has been breached.]

Oh? Did you read my plan?

Perfect timing! I'd like to try and see if that method works!

You gather your remaining strength and attempt to break the seal.

Years later, you succeeded. Although your main body was still unable to move, you were able to send a wisp of power as a clone to the surface.

Ha, my thinking was right after all!

As expected of me!

Black Dragon laughed even more heartily.
