In a cultivation capital where Beast Tamers command tigers to swallow the sky.There exists a tiny and usually empty shop, yet it contains secrets that would drive the entire Grand Xia Empire into a frenzy.Here, you will find a bouncing Hydro Slime sold for one hundred Spirit Stones!Here, you will see a Magma Core variant priced at ten True Essence Crystals!Here, while others chant ancient mantras, the owner uses high-tech bio-labs, gene-splicing, and molecular incubators to breed god-tier monsters.He is a sarcastic gamer from Earth who just wants to sleep in the sun, but he accidentally became the only supplier of dimensional beasts in the multiverse!“Holy shit! A Basic Slime costs a hundred Spirit Stones?!”The shopkeeper’s eyes light up. Finally, the first victim has arrived.

A weary historian dies and finds himself in a different world awakened in a life as the notorious young Duke of a southern state. His nation is weakened, his army underfed, and his neighbors revolve around his lands menacingly. No one believes his land is going to hold out until winter.But this newfound duke is no naive simpleton his enemies recollect. He carries with him the experience of centuries of war and empire, of starting and ending monarchies. From Caesar to Napoleon, from the Mongols to world wars, he has learned from each of them—and his strategy is to make history his very own arms.He organizes his smashed levies into well-trained formations, rebuilds his castles, and turns his villages into supply centers. Where others see defeat, he senses opportunity. As he triumphs, rumors spread: of a pennant red as winter snow that shall not go to ground, of a bloody duke who writes his name in gore and flame.Is he a savior who's constructing a new empire, or a tyrant who's going to bring the world to endless war?
