I Became the Tyrantof a Defense Game summary: Clearing the tower defense game was supposed to be the end, not the beginning! No one had ever cleared Save the Empire on its most brutal difficulty setting until Retro Gamer did. But upon reaching the ending, he woke up inside the game, trapped in the body of Ash, the incompetent third prince of the empire. To make things worse, he had landed in the tutorial stage, a battle that was intentionally designed to destroy the player before the game begins. As Ash, he must now lead his forces to survive, even if that means becoming a tyrant.
