For over ten years, the game Protect the Empire stood undefeated on its hardest difficulty. Countless players had tried and failed, but one day, a famous streamer known as Mr. Gamer Geek finally did the impossible—he beat it. With millions watching, he took a bow, ready to enjoy his well-earned fame.
But before he could celebrate, everything changed. A strange force pulled him into the very world of the game he had just conquered. When he woke up, he was no longer himself—he was now Prince Ash, the character he had once coldly controlled with clicks and commands.
Suddenly, Ash was no longer watching a screen. He could feel pain, hear the cries of battle, and see the bloodshed up close. The lives he once sacrificed without hesitation were now real people—his soldiers, his friends, his team. And many of them had died because of the cold, calculated decisions he had made to win the game.
Now burdened with guilt and the weight of his past choices, Ash vows to change everything. He promises to lead differently, to keep everyone alive, and to use all his knowledge of the game’s world to protect those he once treated as tools. But this world is no game anymore—it’s harsh, full of danger, and filled with monstrous enemies that show no mercy.

I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game Plot
Ash uses his sharp mind, knowledge of enemy patterns, and battlefield strategy to rewrite the events he once thought were set in stone. Slowly, he starts to earn the trust of his team—some of whom died in his original playthrough. He learns their hopes, fears, and strengths. They aren’t just units anymore—they’re people he’s now determined to protect.
But a burning question remains: Who brought him here, and why? Was it punishment for how he played the game? A test? Or is something even darker at work?
From Player to Prince is a thrilling action-fantasy story about redemption, second chances, and what it means to take responsibility. Ash is no longer a gamer with nothing to lose—he’s a leader with everything on the line. He must fight through brutal battles, deadly monsters, and his own past mistakes to survive and protect his people.
If he fails, it’s not just a game over—it’s the end of real lives.
And this time, he refuses to lose.
