There has ever been one Emperor of the Eternal Skies and after his disappearance, the Empire fell back into its days of warring, and no one dared to call themselves by that name! 

But Atrox Soryu dreamed of uniting the Empire as the rising star of his Clan. He had the charm and the potential but then it was discovered that he carried the Forbidden Mark Order.

A power that was feared and loathed. In an instant his world was turned upside down, his friends turned their backs on him and his father disowned him, calling him the shame of the Clan. 

He was sent to the borderland where monsters crawled from Rifts to conquer the world. It was here that he would know the terrible secret of the Forbidden Mark Order he carried and the inheritance that comes with it. 

He wanted to build an Empire and he would start from the borderland he was sent to, right from the labor camp.

Building An Empire Starting From The Labor Camp In Exile

"When the rift opened nearly thirty years ago, my father personally came to this place and tried to close it. He came here with Master Knights and built most of the territories to stop the horde of monsters.

"But they didn't close it. Somehow, they convinced themselves that just stopping the rift's advancement and draining it of resources was enough. My father left, but he put a Commander here. A Soryu of blood... one of my uncles," Atrox said.

He only knew snippets of the history, after all. It wasn't like his father ever sat him down and explained anything to him.

"But after the Commander died... well. He wasn't replaced." Atrox shrugged. "I'm only going to reclaim that authority."

Frexon chuckled. "You sound so sure of yourself. First, you call yourself a Soryu, and now you want to be the Commander? This borderland needs no command. It's fine as it is now, with each Flagbearer taking care of their immediate territory."
