Volume 0, Chapter 1: Story Introduction
Chapter Title: Introduction: Saga of the Two-World Emperor
Content:
"On the day you lose everything... and are given a chance to take it all back, what would you be willing to bet?"
Welcome to an epic saga of vengeance, intellectual warfare, and a journey across two vastly different worlds.
The story begins at the very moment the life of Aden, a brilliant, self-made businessman, is shattered by the cold blade of betrayal from the person he loved and trusted most. He thought death was the end... but fate had other plans.
Aden awakens once more, but in the frail body of 'Adrian', a neglected and sickly young man in the ruthless, medieval fantasy world of Kairos. He is armed with a mysterious 'Two-World Transmigration System', a gift and a curse that allows him to travel back to the very world that nearly cost him his life.
Thus, the war of wits begins...
He must use his mind and knowledge from a future world as his weapon, his superior cunning as his armor. He must turn a weak body and a low social status into an unexpected trump card, forging an empire from the ashes of despair.
Amidst his cold path of vengeance, he finds unexpected allies:
Leona, an ordinary young woman with a bright smile and an extraordinary intellect.
And Kayden, a loyal shadow assassin, a trusted blade ready to cut down any obstacle.
They are the new "family" that pulls him back from the darkness.
He must outwit Lord Mordred, the leader of a secret organization pulling the strings behind everything, and confront the unforgivable past embodied by Anna.
This is the saga of a man rejected by one world... only to become the "Emperor in the Shadows" of two, a ruler who governs not from a golden throne, but with the chessboard in his hands.

Content:
To help our readers better understand the universe of "Saga of the Two-World Emperor," here is some basic information about the two worlds and key terms.
* Valeria - The First World:

* Civilization Level: Information Age.
* Kairos - The Second World:
* Description: A medieval kingdom of deep forests, high mountains, and ancient stone castles. It is a world driven by "honor," "bloodlines," and unseen forces like magic and faith.

* The Emperor's Will: The latent power awakened within Adrian. It is not magic, but a powerful psychic force amplified by the System, allowing him to exert pressure, boost morale, and, most importantly, "disrupt" the use of magic by his enemies.
