While he counted on his trading with Liskoa to bring him the money needed to fund his retaliation, he can only watch as a pirate ship sinks one of his vessels, cutting off the cash coming in.Īs it turns out, those pirates received their orders from a city under Tradesmen management. Ever since he first set foot in Liora, Charles had to suffer the Tradesmen's criminal practices, but now is the time for him to strike back and take them down for good.īut as our dear Champion gets ready to make his move, his plans are smashed to bits. Follow him as he builds roads and shops, hires heroes, develops alliances with neighboring villages…but also fights terrible foes while struggling to maintain the Happiness and Satisfaction levels of his village in the positives.The time is now. Follow Charles as he takes on the challenge of a lifetime.

And so, they give him an ultimatum: he has one month to prove himself and improve Tine, otherwise it’s the hangman’s noose. Because, as he’ll quickly learn, the Mayor had somehow 'forgotten' to tell the villagers of their deal, and now they’re mad at him for usurping the position of Champion without the approval of the gods. Soon, Charles not only has to deal with bandits and other rulers looking to make a profit out of him, he also has to face internal crises that threaten to escalate into a full-blown uprising.

As Charles starts looking for any opportunity to generate gold, the problems begin to pile up.

One thing is for certain, it will be a long road. Relying on a lifetime of business expertise and the Topsight-an ability that allows him to see and manage the entire village from above-he will have to start back from the bottom and find how to bring this measly Level 1 village to prosperity. And after discussing the situation with the Mayor, he decides to help them out by assuming the role of their Champion. On his way, Charles meets the inhabitants of Tine, a modest village that’s been awaiting a sign from the gods for centuries. Not one to feel sorry for himself, Charles embraces this new opportunity, especially since the goddess’ magic returned him to his prime during the transfer. Long story short, she departs without even a word of excuse, leaving Charles stuck with no means of going back home. He wasn’t the one she was targeting with her spell. As it turns out, he’s been snatched by a goddess who was in need of a Champion to grow her village. Now what is there for him to do but to curl up in a corner and die? While Charles is attending a fundraiser, however, something happens and he’s transported into a strange medieval world where magic is real and legendary heroes coexist with mythical monsters. The days of running his financial empire have finally come to an end. When Charles Morris is forced into retirement, the old multinational company CEO has to accept that it is all over.
