MTL - The Dark King - v8 Chapter 1237 : not dying

Chen Zhao can summon demons and see Death.

Emperor Ian Veroshion, the first noble mage, was betrayed and executed. Cursed to never be reborn, he awakens a century later as the illegitimate son of a disgraced ducal line, destined to be a hostage in a barbaric land. Stripped of his magic and his throne, he must navigate a world vastly different from the one he ruled, facing political machinations and a resurgent monster threat. But the embers of his past life still burn, and Ian will not surrender his legacy. He will reclaim his name, his magic, and perhaps, even his empire.

System: “…”

Cao Gui: “System?”

System: “…”

Cao Gui: “System, say something!”
