Herald of the Cataclysm

When Eric Hill awakens in another world, he doesn’t become a hero.
He becomes the Herald—a monster lord destined to usher in the next Cataclysm.

Armed with a mysterious Core and the power to summon and evolve monsters, Eric must carve out a domain in the untamed Skarnwood. But the creatures he summons are more than disposable soldiers, and the adventurers hunting them aren’t always the heroes they claim to be.

As kingdoms turn against him and ancient beings begin watching his every move, Eric must build a home for those no one else will protect, uncover the truth behind the Cataclysm, and wield the power the world already fears.

Because everyone expects the Herald to become a monster.
Eric intends to prove them wrong.

What to Expect:

- Monster Summoning & Evolution
- Kingdom & Domain Building
- Tactical Battles & Strategic Growth
- A Monster Lord Who Refuses to Become the Villain
