“The Throne of the Galaxy Will Be Mine” — a novel by Андрей Скоробогатов and Дмитрий Богуцкий, opening the eponymous cycle; genres: space fiction, boiar-anime, RealRPG.
Once, I was a hero — the one who fought the Horde for the Galactic Empire. For victory, I sacrificed everything, but the war even took away my tomorrow.
For an entire century, I lay in stasis, forgotten and of no use to anyone. When I woke up, I saw a new reality: the Empire is destroyed, worlds drown in anarchy and bribery, and the nobles called to govern have turned into oppressors and slave traders. But I’m not going to surrender. If I was written off — I’ll make them remember me.
In the line for the throne, I’m only the thousandth. And yet, it will be me who takes the Galactic throne. I’ll start from the edge — with a distant colony where pirates hide, and step by step I’ll build my own fleet. Let them try to stand in my way.
