Space...the one place I have longed to explore. The infinite universe. For hundreds of years humanity has wondered what life might exist upon the cosmos but here I am, aboard a royal space cruiser built by an alien race, the Kesk. Aliens that don't look too much different than humans, having ears that similarly resemble the tails and ears of an animals, have been watching us, studying us for years. Watching our wars, our technological discoveries, our way of life, everything. They have come down to Earth in search of a leader, one man that can lead their nation to victory against a race with the lust of domination.

For years man has believed demons to be some religious lore, creatures made by sin, when in fact they have come from another planet, far, far away, forming an empire known as the Central Covenant. Hundreds of star systems have fallen under this empire's control, resulting in a galactic war breaking out between this empire, and any race that dares oppose them.

Meanwhile, the Kesk, more accuratly the Cahtans; a subrace of Kesk that have cat ears and tails, have been coming to Earth, looking for the best humans to serve as their leader for hundreds, if not thousands of years

Meanwhile, the Kesk, more accuratly the Cahtans; a subrace of Kesk that have cat ears and tails, have been coming to Earth, looking for the best humans to serve as their leader for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Most have become corrupt with the power they were given, treating the Kesk like slaves, driving their economy under, causing a civil war between the different planets under Kesk control, and causing a great depression that has been going on for over two decades thus far.

I'm going to change that.

Now it's my time. My time to rise. My time to serve as leader, to unite the Kesk and save them from this destructive wormwhole they've gotten into. I'll be the best leader they've ever had and I will destroy the Central Covenant.
