Imperial Royal Authority

Raven Griffith is a piece of trash, a scoundrel, and the only remaining heir of a baron’s family...

And he is about to become a sacrifice in a blood ritual.

With nowhere left to retreat, he can only move forward and break out of a dead end with his calm and intelligence.

But the real crisis has only just begun.

Greedy nobles, corrupt officials, a rigid church, cruel foreign races, and vicious cults bare their fangs at Raven.

Raven has no choice but to rely on the knowledge and intelligence he brought from Blue Star, as well as the instincts and experience accumulated by this body, to build wealth, expand his territory, raise his strength, and crush the crises that keep coming one after another.

From baron to viscount, count, marquis, duke, and even — king!

...

Many years later, "the Queen Collector, the duke of the Elf Empire, the khan of the glorious orcs, the conqueror of the bloody highlands, the co-ruler of the continent and the seas, the protector of all living beings, the true god in the world" Raven, clad in ninth-rank armor Blood Reigning, holding Endless Spear Edge, sat on the throne and said righteously:

"Many people say I seized the throne through madness, shamelessness, meanness, and deceit.

But that is pure slander!

What I achieved today came from my very own wisdom, nobility, elegance, and kindness!"

...

The grandeur of history has never been something that can be judged by simple right or wrong.

It is blades flashing within gentleness, intrigue within shifting currents, and a carefully calculated grand performance!

Killing intent is written on the face, mercy is kept in the heart, yet in the end fate is left to heaven.
