Imperator

After becoming #1 in the world after playing a grand strategy game as the most difficult faction on immortal level difficulty, James Baker receives an invitation to compete in an even more challenging game after misunderstanding this to be an upcoming sequel to the game, the offer takes the MC into the world of the game itself before the main campaign has even begun, but as it's weakest lord who will die two days later that appears only as a cutscene in the tutorial as first of many deaths to rock the continent until only one survives to proclaim a new eternal empire.

Can James use his game knowledge to successfully survive his impending doom, and rise from the ashes to reclaim the glory he'd won before?

Can he rise up as the divinely selected person to clear the path not even the gods of this world could devise, can the true goal of the game be realized as James turned Julius strives to build up his own kingdom and with a lot of blood sweat and tears resurrect the fallen empire to bring back the glorious days under the continental unification.
