Regal found opened his eyes and survey his surroundings that he was in a single bed, greeted by the sweet aroma.
"Where Am I? What happen after acquiring my First Anime?" Regal said to himself.
Surveying his surroundings he found that the walls are made of wood, he was in a room with only a table a bed and a small window that you can see outside, he tried was lying on the bed surveying his surroundings but it was at this moment when he tried to move.
"Arrrrgh, why is my body like this? What really happen and where exactly am I. Anyone there? Hello?" Regal now surveyed his body only to find that he was covered in bandages almost half of his body like a mummified corpse with the only exception is his neck and face. Finding no one is in the the room bearing the pain washing all over his body he decided to check the Anima.

"HOLY CRAP! WHERE DID THIS OP SKILLS CAME FROM? DAMN THIS ABILITY MAKES ME A RULER AND A POTENTIAL RAID BOSS!" Said Regal his eyes widened to the point that it almost flew out of it sockets.
"Most of the passive skill and ability are giving boost to subordinate or ruling an empire, but the Passive Domination makes can also help me determine if there are hostile unit around my perception damn op. But where did this op skills came from?" Suddenly an intense pain wracking Regal's mind. So intense that he didn't even have the time to grit his teeth. Plus the pain all over his body he can only pass out.
...
At this moment Regal found himself floating above the same height as the cloud.
Down bellow he can see a boundless majestic land, full of vegetation people continue to hustle and bustle, the lively atmosphere continue.
The guards are clad with sturdy armors made with unknown material that radiated of danger and a tad of majesty, doing their patrols the empire is peaceful.
The walls and building are made of jades, tall pavilions exquisite pagodas, tall buildings and different plot of lands and mansion wth different design. But they had one thing in common all of the materials are Jades and some exquisite looking unknown materials that is only for richest of the rich people can achieve!
In Regal's life this is the first time he saw something so grand and beautiful, tall lively mountains massive oceans and waterfalls. Simple boundless!
And looking at the middle of this seemingly heavenly paradise is a tall tower. A tower peering to the heaven's as if the tower is the heaven itself.
"The tower looks familiar, I think I saw it before." Regal mused staring intensely at the tower.
"Of course this is it! It's the same tower! The Tower of demise! But this tower is full of life without gloomy clouds around it. And the tower is radiating bright light seemingly as if it's holy. So much different from the inverted tower with black red carvings." Regal said.
And while examining the tower he can feel an intense pressure, an immense power from the tower! And from the looks of it the empire that as big as the world. The tower is the center of it, and also it seems like this tower is the Sole pillar of the empire.
The people bellow everytime they look at the tower, the shine from their eyes is of endless reverence and anticipation some of them look with worship!
"Why does this tower look the same yet so vastly different. And why am I seeing this? Am I going crazy!?" Regal was alarmed of course
even with solid compusure. One will find it hard to digest all of the great happening one after another. Seeing creatures with immense power and now seeing this unexplainable things. So many questions running through his mind.
Being startled by the bright immense light that is being emitted from the tower.
"What is happening?" Bewildered now one after another unknown things happening he calms himself.
'Even if I don't know what's happening I should focus and remember things so that I can find answer to it sooner or later. Since I'm in the tower itself it's definitely connected!'
He was right it's definitely connected! But what happens next blew his mind.
99 Floating thrones exactly the same throne when he first entered the tower!
What happened next is what left him more flabbergasted.
He saw Adam! Yes The same Adam!
He can see all the other creatures with various appearance, but all of them has the same aura of majesty and immense pressure.
But what caught most of his attention is the Throne! The same empty throne from back then.
The cushion on the throne is red. The throne itself is red the arm chair formed of two dragons which looks life like, and the back of the throne is a Massive sword with wings on the left is a wing with black feather while on the right is a wing with white shiny feathers.
This was the same throne that even all of the guardians aura including Adam cannot compare.
But this time around he saw a man sitting smiling the smile so radiant. The man has an imperial aura. So boundless that he looks like the Emperor at the same time the god of this whole empire world.
"Why does he look like me? Is that me?" Regal said. The man really looks like him but much older, much sharper looking but extremely handsome the man's hair is darker than black that made it seem shiny. His skin is smooth as jade but you can see in his firm muscles wide shoulders that it brims and embody might itself but with a slight beard making him looked more mature and majestic this man definitely look like regal! But at the same time different in a sense.
"My people I'm endlessly glad that to see you all gathered for this wonderful occasion. As for this day is the day that my beloved wife your empress gave birth to our son. For this moment the whole world and empire at this very day I proclaim that he will surpass me someday and will lead you to the greater heights and prosperity! I shall name him Regal. Majestic boundless and a Ruler. But my people I promise you that he will grow into the greatest Ruler even surpassing me!" Standing in front of the Emperor's throne having said his peace the Emperor vowed, Vowing to his proclamation and his people, and subordinate.
"Long live his majesty! Long live the empire! Long live hie majesty little emperor!"
"Long live the empire!"
"We shall support you your majesty and the little Emperor!"
...
Same notion of cheers erupted that seems to echo across this world
The Emperor smiled looking at Adam also smiled both he and Adam nodded at each other seemingly endlessly thankful at each other.
"This is the Pendant that I will give him and will help him lead you into further heights. I as your Emperor promise you that there will be a day that we surpass our prosperity. In this necklace will this world will be. And someday he will break the seal. For I forordain a calamity will strike us, this is the hardest decision of my life. But for you people and all of this work we put into our empire. As the Ruler I can't let it go be destroyed. As happy as the day it seems but this is also the day that I ask for your support. To avoid this catastrophe I humbly seek your approval my people." The Emperor said.
"No matter what is it your Majesty we'll follow you till the end!"
"We trust your foresight your Majesty!"
"We support you your Majesty we will follow you and the little Emperor Regal!"
...
"I am endlessly grateful my people if the day we all awakened will be the day my son has grown and will lead us, this is the hardest decision of my life. But to hide ourself from the foreign enemy I will humbly use my power to seal this world, our body, our soul and consciousness in this pendant that will guide my son into being a powerhouse. Besides the 99 guardian all of us will enter into an slumber, remember the day that I the Emperor woke up shall be the day that I will reunite with my son."
The same pendant that Regal has! And the only memento of hid Biological parents.
Looking at Adam he smiled ever so brightly.
"Adam I shall trust everything to you my old friend. I hope you this isn't too much of a work for you I am forever glad that you my friend are here even at this moment.
Looking melancholic Adam stared at his friend the Emperor and sighed.
"I hope this is the right decision, but even if it's right or wrong I will support you forever my friend. Don't worry about you and her child. I will be here for him waiting for the day he woke you up." Adam smiled but tears started flowing down his cheeks.
The bittersweet sacrifice of the father and mother.
For no matter how powerful they are things are bound to lose at their grasp.
With that the Emperor smiled and vanished appearing in a his room. Within the bed was a women so beautiful that it will stole all the color of the world, but with tears streaming for her cheeks. While hugging the peerless child, their own child just a mother crying because of the peril that her child will face.
"I am sorry that even I with all the power I have can't fully protect our child. It is my sin Catherine." Said the Emperor softly but with a loneliness on his face.
"This isn't your fault,as a mother I'm worried and sad. But I know you're doing your best, I will still follow you and will follow your decision. For that is the oath that I took from the day of our marriage." Catherine said.
"Thank you Catherine, It's not that I trusted my judgement on this decision. I trusted our son. This is the only way my son... Continue to grow and I believe that there will be a day that we will reunite." The Emperor said.
Holding the Jade pendant his immense power burst forth the whole world tremble, and the Jade pendant shine so brightly. But along with the injection of power the Emperor slowly vanished and Chained snaking through his neck. Until he vanished completely along with the world. Only an empty space and the tower. At the ground the feet of the tower is a child with a Jade pendant on it.
An old man that came from the tower and carried the new born child away.
"This day forth I will call this tower of Demise. For a reminder that in order to save you from the calamity the people of the empire, your mother and father did this. Until you gain the power to revert the tower it shall continue to exist inverted the total opposite of what it had been." Adam said to Regal. With that the tower inverted it's holy appearance turned gloomy clouds forming around it.
"We shall meet again someday kid. Don't disappoint your Father and Mother's sacrifice, and also the people from the empire. Grow strong for this is what it means to have power, is to have greater responsibility. If you don't want power that's fine too. Just continue to live experience life. There will be a day you'll think of them" With that he sighed and made an incantation gesture and space around the tower cracked open swallowing the whole tower.
Regal was so bewildered and shocked on what he saw, but suddenly above him like a an ocean from above came crashing at him.
He then woke up only finding himself wet, And he saw unfamiliar and also familiar faces. Felnarx, Nathan/Mad monkey and some unfamiliar faces. Still on his stupor about that dream. He saw Mad monkey holding a bucket with water. Apparently the interruption of his dream with ocean is Mad monkey pouring a bucket of water on him.
