Je m’appelais Mosis, ingénieur en génie civil, passionné par l’histoire et les civilisations anciennes. Ma vie s’est brutalement arrêtée dans un accident… pour reprendre dans un trône froid, au cœur d’un royaume en ruine. Désormais, je suis Rolland Frostmar, roi d’un territoire oublié, haï par son peuple, méprisé par ses vassaux. Mais je ne suis pas revenu les mains vides. Un Système de Renommée s’est activé à mon arrivée. Pour chaque action significative – victoire militaire, réforme réussie, invention utile – je gagne des Points de Renommée, échangeables contre des technologies, des savoirs perdus, ou même des innovations modernes. Agriculture, médecine, armement, industrie… à condition d’avoir la sagesse de choisir quand et comment avancer. Car chaque progrès a son prix. Trop d’innovations peuvent bouleverser l’ordre établi. Une réforme mal pensée peut déclencher une révolte. Et chaque ennemi vaincu en attire trois autres. Nobles arrogants, prêtres fanatiques, rois rivaux et traîtres dans l’ombre... tous veulent ma chute. À travers le feu, la ferraille et les complots, je reconstruirai ce royaume. Je ne suis pas un héros. Je suis un bâtisseur. Un stratège. Un roi. Et avec ce système… je forgerai une légende.
