Legacy of a Benevolent Lord Novel

Riveron, born a concubine and scorned by his own family, endures suffering across two lives. In his first, he clawed through the slums; in this one, he navigates the constraints of nobility in a martial world ruled by emperors and their iron fists. Desperate to escape his house, Riveron pursues the path of an Imperial Scholar, believing merit-based advancement will lead him to freedom and the capital. His plan crumbles when he is ambushed on the road. Broken and left for dead at the bottom of a lake, he experiences two miracles: an angel saves him, and he awakens a mysterious system that grants him critical returns for every gift he gives. Armed with this power and his willingness to do whatever it takes, Riveron is determined to carve out his throne in this lawless world where only strength matters. Having risen from nothing once before, he is prepared to conquer again, unbounded by morals or mercy.
