War..
What is war?
The absence of peace?
The presence of strife, and anarchy?
These are the common definitions, and notions of war.
But there was one man who thought differently. People called him the warmonger.
Emperor Delarus Matir Kafer.
He disappeared over twenty-three years ago— on a voyage to the unknown Eastern continent.
Everyone thought him dead. And only a few of his trusted nobles knew the truth of his departure.
But a few years ago, he returned anew. Not as a changed man or a better human, but as... a monster. He was changed, reborn, and more refined in strength.
His first act after his return was to request a duel with the Golden Swordsman Kairo— the strongest of the Ten Great Lances. And he won the duel; shattering the legacy of the Golden Swordsman.
And so— Delarus claimed the title of the First Lance.
To the people of Kafer— his return was a nightmare reborn. He was a tyrant who loved war, and used war to settle every minor dispute.
