Middle-Earth: Kaen, Lord of Light Novel

Kaen arrives in Middle-earth wielding a Mount & Blade system that grants him five extraordinary enhancements: tripled territory development speed, tripled citizen life expectancy, tripled soldier growth rate, tripled hero growth rate, and the ability to gain experience from every defeated enemy, growing stronger with each level gained. His extraordinary power and leadership transform the fate of Middle-earth's peoples. Gandalf praises Kaen as an unwavering beacon of light against darkness. Thorin Oakenshield credits him with saving his life and restoring Erebor from ruin, comparing his steadfastness to the mountains themselves. Galadriel acknowledges his wisdom in renewing the Tree of Life and preserving hope for all Elves, granting him the title King of the Elves. Kaen himself vows to confront the encroaching Shadow and the distant Eye, pledging to raise his sword and restore light to Middle-earth, regardless of whether Sauron himself stands against him.
