This is I'm Now an Evil Lord In a World Where Only I Can Level Up.
Ryuuichi Hasegawa, the top player in a strategic medieval RPG, is granted a special "bonus" by the developer and reincarnated into the game world—not as the protagonist, but as the villainous lord Erhin Eintorian who dies in the prologue! This means Erhin's survival is a race against time, for his domain is set to be invaded by a hostile foreign power in just one day. ...
The opening goes as described - the protagonist is playing the strategy RPG game as the top player and suddenly gets a notification for an extra mode. He accepts, but nothing immediately happens.
He then goes to bed and wakes up in the world of the game as a minor character - there's no mention of his name, but he recognizes the name of the country as one that is promptly destroyed in the prologue.
