Isekai: Lord of the Forgotten Frontier

After an ordinary death, Hex awakens before a mysterious goddess who admits his death was premature. Offered a second life as a hero, mage, king, or lord, he chooses Lord and is sent to Aetheria as Lord H of Valemont. There, a hidden Lord’s Authority system lets him inspect resources, population, corruption, military strength, and territory growth. He must build a forgotten frontier worthy of his second life while navigating rival magical bloodlines, nonhuman peoples, ancient races, and the Noble Houses that rule the continent.
