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

"What have you done?" Atrox asked as he helplessly watched his tower hover before the green monster.

She grinned. "I corrupted it. That is my power. Anything can be corrupted, given time. Now then, how do I get out of this?"

The corruption spreading through the tower clamped tighter, and the tower trembled. Atrox fought it, but it was like trying to move a limb that didn't exist. He even tried to use his attack, but even as his tower glowed and was ready to send out waves of fire, it suddenly dulled.

Instead, the essence was converted into trying to clear the Commander's law that was set in place. Atrox was able to resist that for now.

It was as if the tower recognized her as its owner.

'...How did she gain this much control over the tower that quickly? Without me even knowing?...'

She smiled again. "You fool. The tower was able to escape me before, but not today. I will control it. You won't escape."
