[Western Fantasy + Lord + Different World + Multi-race + Hegemony + Slow Heat + System] After the sudden death of the social engineer Li Wei, he traveled to a different world and became Aaron Ashes, a bankrupt baron who was heavily in debt.
It starts on hell difficulty, with a very poor territory and a "Slumbering Abyss" that can be called a Cthulhu-level copy.
In order not to starve to death, Aaron was forced to cheat and combine modern science and engineering knowledge with the forbidden power of the abyss to start a hard-core farming struggle for hegemony.
He fought monsters and leveled up all the way, from defeating local snakes, to toughing out regional earls, to being listed as the number one heretic by the church.
Just when he thought it was just an ordinary lord struggle script, he dug out the ultimate shady secret of the world at the end of the abyss: the so-called gods are just a group of cosmic parasites that suck faith.
Aaron suddenly realized that what he was about to fight was not a local war of version vs. Version at all, but a world-class final PVE battle that staked the survival of the entire civilization.
