My Mind-Compass Devours Magic Cores

A corporate drone's life ends, only to begin anew as Hudson Koslow, a sickly third son of a minor baron. Betrayed by his brother and dismissed by his family, he's a forgotten figure in a world of warring kingdoms, magical beasts, and cutthroat noble politics. Survival seems impossible. His salvation arrives in the form of a strange mental compass, a 'system' that feeds on rare magic cores and promises to guide him to power. From his paltry barony, can Hudson harness this unique 'goldfinger' to transform his humble domain into a thriving kingdom and challenge the established powers of this chaotic world?
