MODERN EMPIRE

Here's the edited version:

Aster's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself in a broken, flipped carriage. Dead bodies in knight armor surrounded him. The armor seemed weak, penetrable by even a stone sword.

Suddenly, Aster's head felt like it was about to explode. Memories flooded his mind, but they weren't his own. He remembered being Aster Adder Ivy, the 5th prince of the Adder Kingdom.

Aster's mother, a beautiful maid with black hair and purple eyes, had been taken by the king. After Aster's birth, she was killed, but the king spared Aster's life due to his royal bloodline. Aster's siblings, Justin, Natalie, Beatrice, and Alexander, were all born to different queens.

According to the rules, when a member of the royal family reached 15 and awakened the lord's tablet, they had the right to claim their own territory. However, Aster's siblings had already been given grand duke titles and territories, while Aster was sent to a forbidden territory in the far east corner of the kingdom.

The territory was vast, filled with resources and unknown materials, but every previous owner had failed to conquer it. The kingdom had sent countless soldiers, knights, and mages, but all had died. Aster was sent with 1500 former knights, all criminals or enemies of the state, bound to him by a slave contract.

As Aster traveled through the territory, he encountered goblins, giant trolls, and other monsters. He avoided the mountains, fearing the giant roar that caused earthquakes.

This world was stuck in the medieval era, with magic, knights, and monsters. The strong ruled, and the weak were tools for the powerful. Social class was everything, with imperials, royalty, nobles, knights, soldiers, commoners, and slaves making up the hierarchy.

Aster's memories returned, and he found himself back in the broken carriage. "Where the hell is my system?" he muttered.

[System loading..... 10%.... 20%.... 30%... 40%..... 50%..... 60%... 70%..... 80%..... 90%.... 99%... 100%....]

Aster's eyes widened. "Holy shit!"
