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.

Ava Sinclair has one rule—stay away from jocks. They’re arrogant, they’re reckless, and they’re nothing but distractions. As Westbridge University’s top student, she has a strict schedule of study sessions, internships, and zero tolerance for football players, especially Logan Carter. Logan, on the other hand, thrives on breaking rules. When his teammates make a bet date the nerdy girl who’s never fallen for a jock he takes it as a challenge. After all, no one resists Logan Carter. The only problem? Ava is practically allergic to him. Every time he flirts, she shuts him down. Every time he “accidentally” shows up where she’s studying, she finds another spot. But Logan isn’t one to back down, so he ups his game: ✔ Surprise coffee deliveries? Check. ✔ Crashing her study group with ridiculous questions? Absolutely. ✔ Secretly stealing her notes to force her into tutoring him? Maybe not his best idea... But somewhere between the chaos, the teasing, and the forced proximity (thanks to Ava's dorm mix-up that makes them neighbors), Logan starts falling for the very girl he was supposed to play. When Ava discovers the bet, will Logan be able to prove that this game stopped being a game a long time ago? Or will she show him that, for the first time, Logan Carter has met his match? stay tuned 😉
