I Only Wanted to Survive — So I Built an Empire

Jacob_Marmor
In humanity’s dystopian future, the Oasis has become the only chance for expansion. There, each envoy can become a Lord — raise fortresses, command armies, and summon heroes. But there is a silent hierarchy. Humans are already considered the weakest race. And the colonists… are merely numbers sent to meet quotas. He was born in one of those colonies. He was not chosen for talent. He was not sent for honor. He was sent because someone had to fill the slot. He hates no one. He does not dream of revenge. He has only one goal: To survive. In the Oasis, surviving means building. Building means dominating. And dominating requires heroes. When his time came to summon… ordinary soldiers did not answer. Lesser spirits did not appear. Legends came. And the world that treated him as disposable would begin to learn that surviving can be the first step toward ruling.
