When Shen Yu woke up, he had accidentally gone into a ridiculous dog blood novel.

In the novel, he is a poor cannon fodder character, dead father and mother, fiancée runs away, drags a pair of legs and lives lonely in a 20,000-square foot mansion.

Later, in order to compete for the female lead, he died under the opposition.

In order to save his life, Shen Yu had to stay as far away as possible from the leading and supporting roles and concentrate on enjoying the luxury life.

As a result, one day, the servant brought a 10-year-old villain with bruised eyes: “Sir, this is the orphan of Tang’s family.”

Shen Yu: “…”

Shen Yu decided to adopt the small villains and change his fate.

Ten Years Later.

The villain pushed Shen Yu to the corner: “Who is that woman?”

Shen Yu: “… Who do you say?”

The villain: “The woman who seduced you at last night’s banquet! “

Shen Yu: “…”

The villain: “Hehe, I’m going to kill her.”

Shen Yu: “My son… That’s the female lead you forgot by the Lake…”

All people traverse into the Otherworld, becoming Lords, battling for survival.Here, Knights, Nuns, Griffins, and Giant Dragons defend the light of order.Meanwhile, Green Skins, Undead, Beastmen, and Demons are gathering, preparing to launch the next attack.This is a world of Darkness and bloodshed, a world where Demons and Magic coexist. A world on the brink of extinction, filled with war fires and death.Amidst these raging wars and tense standoffs, it is also an era of emerging Heroes, who valiantly sacrifice for justice.[Territorial Essence: No civilization can have vast territory, stunning landscapes, mild climate, abundant resources, and a large population without experiencing war and expansion.]Therefore, Explorers build their unique Traits system, create formidable Territory armies, to compose their Epic of romance![Featured Edition Synopsis: Tired of the typical storyline where the protagonist is unlucky? Change your taste! This book is also known as “My Wife is the Goddess of Fortune” and “The Goddess of Fortune Fell in Love with Me”.]

“The masterminds are cooler than heroes,” I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game.Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit.Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not?***[Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.]What?[Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.]Wait, what?![Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.]And, why would I do that?![Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.]Why would I save him?![The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?]Ah! I give up...It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things.In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker.I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need?Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though.I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse!Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is...[Failure: Destruction of the World.]It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped.If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing.[Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.]“If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne.”And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
