Milena never imagined that she would be one of the highest ranking nobles in all of the Empire of Akai Aki. She was born a lowly serf, but from a young age it was clear that she was a prodigy of military tactics, raising her rank in a blink of an eye. At age twenty one, she's taken down countless kingdoms and militaries. All the Akaian people know that Milena is the one that pulls the strings in the empire's affairs.
Yet, a new threat is rising, and this time, its coming from within the empire. What started as a peasant's rebellion turned into something bigger than anyone could have predicted. Milena is tasked with defeating them. However, this is no ordinary battle, for the revival ancient magic has pulled the threads of destiny into this reality.
In this game, Milena might not be the one who says 'checkmate' in the end.
