Crown of Forgotten Flame

Lain, the royal family's despised bastard, awakens the Dragon-Soul Deduction System on the eve of a noble banquet designed to kill him. The system can calculate futures from bloodlines, lies, and desire—but every prophecy burns away one of his cherished emotional memories. As the Red Dragon and Frost Dragon factions muster armies for the throne, Lain disguises himself as the most harmless pawn on the board. Through banquet conspiracies, bloodline trials, and dragon contracts, he steals power one calculated step at a time. Each victory brings him closer to the crown and farther from the woman he once loved—until the realm discovers that its disposable pawn is the only man who can command every dragon.
