This world is rotten through and through. In it, slavery and cruelty thrive. Waking up in a new world in chains, I thought my own world was only a sweet dream. And here is my brutal reality, where everyone wants me to lose heart, abuse me, and use my body. Will I have enough strength to take up a sword to survive?

To seize power in the empire, eradicate slavery, launch technological progress, give people a new faith—and along the way raise a new Emperor. Isn’t that too much to ask? But there is a plan of the gods, and I don’t have the option to refuse. After all, I’m only a pawn on the chessboard of fates. Well then, gods—shall we play?
