Title: The Greedy Prince of Gods and Demons
Chapter 1: Reborn in Royal Blood
Darkness.
That was all he remembered after his last breath in his old world the cold city streets, the hunger, and the people who ignored him. He had been poor, broken, and invisible.
Then came the voice.
> "You have died unsatisfied. I shall give you a chance to live again, in power, in luxury. But your greed shall shape your fate."
When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't lying on cold pavement but on a bed of silk. Golden curtains hung around him, and the air smelled like flowers and money.
He looked at his reflection in a crystal mirror:
Golden hair, crimson eyes, and the royal crest of the Aurelius Kingdom embroidered on his robes.
He wasn't just reborn.
He was now Prince Leon Aurelius, second son of the most powerful kingdom in the continent.
Leon smirked.
In his past life, he was poor.
In this one, he would never be poor again.
> "So… all this gold is mine, right?" he muttered.
"Your Highness," said a servant, bowing low. "The royal treasury is, of course, property of the crown."
Leon's smirk deepened. Property of the crown? I am the crown.
But when he touched the royal crest on his chest, a faint blue glow flickered in the air.
> [System Awakening Detected]
Welcome, Greed Incarnate. You have unlocked the "Summoner of Realms" System.
You may now summon beings from the Divine and Infernal Realms.
Leon froze.
A system? Just for him?
> "Show me the menu," he whispered.
Blue text floated before his eyes:
> [Summoner's Menu]
Summon Tokens: 1
Summon Options:
Minor God of Wealth
Demon of Greed
Celestial Guardian (Locked)
Abyssal Warlord (Locked)
Leon grinned.
A system tied to greed and power exactly what he always wanted.
> "Let's start with the God of Wealth," he said.
The ground glowed gold. From the light rose a tall, radiant figure dressed in flowing robes of gold coins and starlight. His voice rumbled like thunder.
> "Who dares summon Mercus, God of Wealth?"
Leon stood from his bed, his crimson eyes glowing faintly.
> "I'm your new master Prince Leon Aurelius. I have a kingdom to drain dry… and you're going to help me."
The god smiled, intrigued. "You're bold, mortal."
Leon's grin widened. "I'm not mortal anymore."
That night, the palace shook with divine energy. Servants swore they saw golden storms forming above the royal tower and the young prince laughing inside.
The greedy prince had awoken.
And soon, gods and demons alike would kneel before his hunger for power and gold.
