Lord of the Eternal Night: Recruit Witches and Forge an Unrivaled Empire

I transmigrated to the Evernight Continent. My father was branded a traitor, and my family was destroyed.

With a single decree, the regent duke exiled Lorne to Maple Leaf Territory, the most desolate region of the North.

It was called a fief, but it was more like a graveyard.

How could I survive? That was the biggest problem.

No matter. I had a System.

Wait, the System said recruiting special talents could unlock their corresponding exclusive buildings?

They were called witches.

The royal capital feared them, the Church hated them, and the common people avoided them.

But I wasn't afraid.

Because I was the only person in this world who could stabilize their corruption.

Their abilities were exactly what this wasteland needed most.

The Frost Witch carved out a place for herself, the Dream Witch foresaw a conspiracy,

the Forge Witch crafted divine weapons, and the Life Witch cultivated fertile fields.

While other lords were still fighting tooth and nail over a single iron mine,

my territory had already built legendary structures like the Winter Cathedral, the Dreamweaver Courtyard, the Coreforge Workshop, and the Garden of Blossoms.

The regent duke said I was playing with fire.

The Church called me a heretic.

But they didn't know...

Those abandoned by the world were building an unrivaled empire for me.

Years later, when people looked back on this history, they would call me by one grand title after another:

Lord of the North, King of the Wasteland, Savior of the Witches, Master of the Nine Towers, the Undying Beacon in the Evernight, the Heretic King Who Silenced the Church, Slayer of the Otherworldly Demons, Destroyer of Armies, the Northern Tyrant Who Made a Million Church Knights Afraid to Look East, Founder of the Radiant Empire, the Eternal Golden King...

But I preferred to be called...

His Supreme Majesty the [ Emperor]!
