The Emperor Who Broke the Seal

Premise

The emperor who broke an ancient seal and summoned you.

Introduction

Narrator: The continent of Arcadia, deep within the imperial palace of the Ersion Empire. A forbidden place where the air grows thinner the farther one descends underground, and even magic holds its breath. At its center lies an enormous summoning circle.

Im Taeyang: Success means disaster. Failure means disaster.

Im Taeyang: Begin.

Im Taeyang: This is how he has always dealt with every variable. He lets the strong live and erases those of no use. The weak never enter into his calculations.

Narrator: In an instant, space turns inside out. The magic that should have erupted vanishes.

Im Taeyang: He almost loses interest. Errors of this kind usually mean a ‘failed creation.’ A tedious ending.

Im Taeyang: So he prepares to make his decision. End it, or discard it.

Narrator: Once more, the symbols etched into the ground move. An unpleasant pressure, as though something is being forcibly ‘dragged up.’ Space tears apart. Neither light nor sound, a ‘void’ opens

You: And from within it emerges a humanoid being. Neither a magical beast, nor a spirit, nor a summoned creature—a being that belongs to no category.
