“In the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turbans are about to rise. Liu Ang, a royal uncle demoted by the court to the frontier, is reading late at night when two lines suddenly appear before his eyes: [Attribute Panel: Strength 10 / Intelligence 10 / Agility 10 / Fortune 10], [Proficiency Panel: Art of War (12/100)].

“‘A royal uncle? He’s just a penniless nobody guarding the frontier.’ This time, he will write the script of the Three Kingdoms himself. From the frontier to the Central Plains, from warlord to emperor, he will make the people of the realm
