The Magic Ring Grants the Midas Touch, and I Accidentally Resurrect Sauron

After the Dark Lord Sauron's two defeats, Middle-earth enjoyed more than two thousand years of peace.

But as time passed, tensions and conflicts between different races quietly began to build once more, and the shadow of war fell over the land again. A slave named Aidan came across an ancient book of dark magic by chance.

His wealth and status attracted countless eyes, but Aidan always kept a low profile, knowing that the power he wielded was dangerous.

Yet fate always seems to enjoy its jokes. One day...
