There was a time where the Empire is a corrupt society of cruelty and debauchery where people of authority would abused their power just for their own evil ends and making the world a worst place to live in even more, full of corrupt people doing their corrupt things, courtesy staff of the manipulation of Prime Minister Honest manipulating the Child Emperor Makoto to do his bidding...
Now, the Empire has become either the best or the worst place imaginable, depending on anyone's point of view and what cannot be denied is that the former corrupt regime had been overthrown, in favour of the new Prime Minister, or as he called himself, the Prime Director and the Herscherr of Ascension, Zephyr Partas, alongside his sister, Esdeath, that will lead the Empire, or as he now calls it, the Ascion Empire, to conquer the world and ruining it even more, using augmented artificial replicants servants and soldiers, bio-engineered monsters and anyone created by Zephyr to get the job done...
All the while, someone is waking up without any memory of himself and likewise, no one knows who he is, even himself, that is and all that he can only cared about is trying to survive in a world that is on a brink of destruction and whoever he is, he must be the one that can save them all...
For he is...
Scion...
