From Hostage to Hegemon

Xavier Taylor is betrayed by the Queen Dowager and the Queen's faction, set up to lead a doomed campaign. Captured by the kingdom of Northland, he is reduced to a hostage 'exchange student', dragged through relentless humiliation and even paraded before the enemy capital gates in a ritual of submission. At the darkest hour, when a servant girl named Erin is about to be violated, a modern soul suddenly transmigrates into Xavier's body. He inherits every memory of his predecessor and immediately grasps the conspiracy and the urgent crisis. A system awakens with brutal logic, complete tasks to earn rewards, survival, power and the means to retaliate. Trapped between shame and a mechanical lifeline, Xavier must follow cold missions to reclaim dignity and turn betrayal into leverage.
