📖 The Paragon Imperium – A Legacy Forged in TrialIn Atlareon, power is absolute. It is wielded by warlords, kings, and unseen forces that shape the fate of nations. Here, the weak are crushed, and the strong dictate the rules. But true power isn’t always found in the sharpness of a blade—it’s in knowing where to strike.⚔ Chronicles of Paragon’s RiseRicardo "Rick" de Vieira Campos was a man of logic, systems, and control. A software engineer by trade, a strategist by necessity, and a survivor by force of will, he spent decades designing the code that powered corporations, navigating the labyrinths of office politics, and outmanoeuvring those who mistook him for just another cog in the machine. His battlefield was digital—his weapons, knowledge and foresight.  Then he woke up in Atlareon, a world that doesn’t care for logic, reason, or finely crafted algorithms.  Here, monsters, swords, and magic rule. Here, survival isn’t about optimization—it’s about brute force, instincts, and blood. And Rick is entirely out of his depth.He is not strong. He is not trained. He has never taken a life. And yet, this world demands he fights.Thrown into a deadly world with only his loyal dog, Spark, by his side, Rick’s greatest challenge isn’t just surviving the creatures that lurk in the dark—it’s adapting to a world where the rules aren’t written in code, but in blood and betrayal. He understands power, how it moves and how it’s hoarded. But here, power isn't always negotiated—it's taken.  And Rick isn’t alone in his mind. Fred, the voice of a lifetime, remains a presence Rick can trust. Athena, the broken Goddess of Knowledge, however, is another matter—Elusive. Broken. There, but never guiding. She shows up when least expected and offers little of use when she does.The strong rule Atlareon. The weak serve or perish. But Rick was never weak.  He built systems to control chaos. He predicted the moves of competitors before they made them. Now, he must do the same here, playing a game where he doesn’t yet know the rules, but failure means death.But someone does.  And they’re waiting for him to make his first move.
