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

It cut through the air like a sword made of gleaming silver stones dulled with age. The walls surrounding it were crumbling, and the inner space was overrun with trees.

Unlike the other fortress, there was only the main building; every other space was built underground.

But that wasn't all that caught and held Atrox's eyes. It was the ruin that sprawled in front of it, a ruin in the form of a hut-like building made of wood with a straw roof.

That wasn't all. Around the ruin were three gleaming dark brown portals that swirled gently. The area around them felt heavy and oppressive.

Before the Tower even got close to the fortress, monsters began to pour out of the forest, and the portals swirled faster as more monsters emerged.

Leojan's voice echoed all around them as he spoke. "Most of the monsters it's sending out now are runts. We will head to the fortress and will not engage until it's ready to."
