Ryu Soo-Young, a writer, was living like a common man in the year 4108 until… one day when he was going to Titan, the moon of Jupiter, for an awarding ceremony thanks to his book.
While he was in mid-space he fell asleep inside the rocket but when he opened his eyes he had gained memory of his last 2 lives.
He was having an existential crisis after he woke up but soon he calmed down… calmed down literally. He died because the rocket somehow exploded before he or anybody could even react, they all died.
When he opened his eyes again he found himself surrounded by four people who were calling him “his highness” and “my lord”.
But after around 10 minutes by using his past life memories, he calmed down and started to gather information about the world.
----
"So you mean I am Ethan Elord, a trashy king?"
Ethan asked with a soft sigh while facepalming, getting second-hand embarrassment hearing stories of this body.
"N-no," Noah said while making moments with his hands and trying to calm him down "It's not like that-"
"Don't listen to Sir Noah bullshit. You were trash and good for nothing." Jeannette interpreted Noah's words and said everything truthfully with a grin to see Ethan's reaction.
"You can't talk to the king like this!"
Lucas said angrily, getting annoyed by her personality and behavior since he thinks of Ethan as his own grandchild.
"It's okay… old grampas. She is not saying anything wrong."
Lucas was confused whether he should be happy about getting called grampas by the mouth of Ethan or he should be angry about how she affected his mind.
"Okay and," He looks up at Dahlia after calming down "Who are you? You have not introduced yourself to me yet."
"O-oh," She grabbed corners of her dress and lifted it up a little as she bowed to him. "I am sorry for not introducing myself earlier, my lord. I am Dahlia Floryn. Your finance and soon to be your wife." She smiled softly while looking at him.
"..."
He kept silent and looked at the other three people with a face asking “Bro… you sure she is going to marry me?”
And they just nodded while Jeanette said "You don't deserve her but she is deeply in love with you because since childhood they say you are her husband."
"M-miss Jeanette! I really love him! It's me who doesn't deserve him!"
She said loudly while moving her hand up and down in excitement and nervousness making everyone in the room have one thought 'Fuck, she is so cute.'

"I-I see…" He sighed and laid his back against the wall of bed "Now you four leave I want to have some alone time.
They all nodded and started to walk away without any further questions. While everyone walked outside while looking at him before going out of the room to show respect to the king, Jeanette disrespectfully showed her back to him and walked out which caused a fight between Noah, Jeanette, and Lucas while Dahlia tried to stop them.
"This is a headache…" He sighed and looked up at the ceiling "To think I would be a legendary magician and then reborn into a legendary knight and then into a legendary writer and then into a trashy king. It is like the trash plot of a third-class writer."
(A/N: Damn… I feel hurt by my own words.)
"But… again this world is created by none other than me or at least I think so by hearing them…"
After calming down he asked many questions from them and judging by how they described the world this is his novel for sure.
「A world so big it is impossible to completely explore. Magic is common and everyone can do it however how strong it is depends on the talent. Power is absolute truth here and rulers are Gods here.」
"That's how I explained in the novel and that is exactly how they described this world to me."
He sighed and slowly got out of the bed to look at the kingdom he ruled on through the large window of his room.
The kingdom did not look poor at all and actually looked pretty decent, almost a copy of ancient civilization the “Indus civilization” just a little advance but when looked at carefully there were many beggars and clothless people who were starving and shivering in hunger and cold.
"This…"
That's all he could say looking at the condition of the kingdom. In the future, even the poorest and abandoned places where nuclear weapons are used are in better condition than this in his eyes.
"How could such a place exist in this world… just how cruel I was to make this kingdom Arcady?"
His eyes suddenly widened in surprise when he called out the name of this kingdom since he remembered what this place is in the novel.
「The Arcady was the poorest and worst kingdom ruled by the even worst king but this place holds a treasure greater than anyone else. In the road between the temple of Shiva and the temple of the mother goddess, there is a very small chance to encounter a weird library that will allow the person to meet Shiva himself! And then gain a gift from him. The grade of the gift depends on the person and Shiva's mood.」
"I did not get into details but just said it was the poorest and worst kingdom… to think my luck would be so bad to be reborn into the body of this person…"
He slammed his head against the wall lightly and closed his eyes to calm himself down.
"Or maybe I am super lucky since I have a small chance to meet my inspiration from the first life and maybe make this kingdom into the wealthiest and strongest kingdom in the world… it will help me stay active and not be bored."
A small smile appeared on his face and he opened his eyes and turned around to look at the giant closed door of his room.
"Okay, I have decided to use my second life skills and knowledge to make this kingdom good again, my first life skill and knowledge to become the strongest mage, and my third life knowledge to be stronger than the protagonist himself! Since I am the one who created this world after all!"
He said loudly and excitedly with a burning aura showing how motivated he is about this.

Fun facts:
Arcady means an ideal rustic paradise.
Titan is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere, and the only known moon or planet other than Earth on which clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found.
I used Indus civilization as the example for the Arcady kingdom despite the fact it was by no means poor because of the Pashupati Seal which is evidence that they used to worship Shiva and Shiva in this world plays a very important role.
