After Summoning Players, I Became the Sea King

As an unremarkable long-lived species in the Sea of Death, a bored merman unexpectedly obtains a damaged system core, gaining the ability to summon players from another world.

What a boringly long life.
I hope these so-called ‘players’ can bring me a little fun—Sykes summoned them with such expectations.

Watching the players explore the seas, trace back history, dig for treasure, and conquer other races…
Wait, something doesn’t seem right??

Sykes: Me? A poor little thing? Are you talking about the merfolk lord who has sole dominion over the Sea of Death?
Players: Say no more, we get it (covers mouth while crying). Fly bravely, baby, Mama will always be with you!
Sykes: ……

Sykes: My lifelong wish is to conquer the world? How come I didn’t know that myself?
Players: (Pushes open a window) Look, this is the empire We have conquered for you.
Sykes: ……Wait, isn’t this the territorial waters of the giant octopus next door?
