"Long live the Emperor! Long live!" The people of Kaizenix cheered as their Emperor, Kim Dokja, returned from another successful conquest of a new kingdom. Yet, their adulation was not born out of pure admiration, but fear.
Kim Dokja was infamous as a tyrant who, under his rule, had conquered the entire world, leaving a trail of war and bloodshed in his wake. He was the most powerful and ruthless emperor humanity had ever known. Deemed handsome, talented, intelligent, and strong, what flaws could such a mighty ruler possibly have?
Once again, Kim Dokja stood in a throne room filled with the bodies of Murim's royal family. He thought he had eliminated them all, but one remained-the third prince of the Kingdom of Murim, the Crown Prince, Yoo Joonghyuk.
As Kim Dokja's eyes fell upon the prince's face, he was momentarily struck by Yoo Joonghyuk's handsomeness. His frown turned into a smirk, and he slowly extended his sword, pointing it at the prince.
