On the global launch day of Age of Empires IX, an ordinary gamer named Arthur unexpectedly finds himself transported into a medieval-style fantasy world. Here, swords clash with schemes, and blood meets iron. No longer the player controlling the battlefield, Arthur is reduced to the lowest rung of the feudal hierarchy—a humble knight’s squire. At first, he resigns himself to his fate, ready to live a quiet, unremarkable life. But destiny has other plans. A mysterious "data interface" appears before him, offering a glimpse of hope and the possibility of rising above his station. Starting with nothing but a ragtag militia, Arthur begins to build his own army, expand his territory, and embark on an epic journey to become the ruler of an empire. But the challenges in this land are far greater than he ever imagined. Barbarian raids, pirate invasions, the curse of undead knights, and the roar of dragons—every battle is fraught with danger. Yet the most dangerous enemies aren’t on the battlefield. They lurk in the shadows of the court. Loyalty can be bought. Oaths can be broken. And the price of glory is often paid in blood. To survive, Arthur must rely on his unique abilities, sharp intellect, and unyielding ambition to overcome every obstacle in his path. From an unknown nobody to a legendary lord, Arthur must navigate the treacherous game of power, one calculated step at a time, and carve out his own legacy. A symphony of adventure, growth, and strategy at its peak. The wheels of fate have begun to turn, and Arthur Grayson’s age of empire is only just beginning…
