<p>How many lives are your dreams worth? How many would you kill to be given a chance?</p> <p>Isaac Refenes was 76 when he died on a hospital bed; alone, unmourned and forgotten. Regret filled his last moments as his life drew to an end, knowing that his body would be buried in a nameless grave, his name never to be spoken again. He vowed to himself that, on his next life, he would do anything he had to be remembered.</p> <p>His chance to prove himself appeared in front of him, in the form of a winged goddess moments, later.</p> <p>"Serve me, do my bidding, and I shall grant you another chance in my world."</p> <p>The catch? He would have to fight a war against the entire world.</p> <p>Become her champion. Start a religion in her name. Kill the summoned heroes. Build the strongest empire history had ever seen. And then, rebel against the gods themselves. That was Isaac's mission.</p> <p>He had no allies, no kingdom, no followers and no powers. Only his wits, a bit of the goddess magic, and a pair of sentient slimes as servants. It was a suicide mission. And yet, the man welcomed it. For it was this was his opportunity to be someone else. Someone grander.</p> <p>He would not let the world abandon him a second time. That night, the man the world knew as Isaac died. And in his stead, a conqueror was born.</p> <p>This time, he would become the most powerful man the world had ever seen, or die trying. No matter the cost.</p> <p>This is the story about a sociopathic man, his never-ending quest for power and his journey to understand human emotions. He is not a monster, but he is not a good person either. The story starts quick, but slow downs soon enough, and it explores some dark, uncomfortable topics. It is a character driven plot in a realistic, gritty world where failure usually means death. Content warning applies.</p> <p>Updated five times a week.</p>
