Commerce Emperor

Robin Waybright awakens as the Merchant Hero, granted the power to buy and sell anything—youth, skills, even memories—in a world where every transaction reshapes the balance of power. With his homeland of Archfrost crumbling and the malevolent Demon Ancestors scheming in the shadows, Robin must outmaneuver twenty-one rival Heroes, each wielding unique Classes and their own ambitions. Some may be allies; most are threats. As Pangeal’s fate hinges on commerce rather than swords, Robin walks a razor’s edge: enrich himself to save his people, or let the world’s economy—and survival—collapse into ruin.
