Synopsis to be revised. Here's the general idea for now.
In the 121st year since humanity began to evolve supernatural abilities, the Tower of Games descended upon the world.
At regular intervals, ability users were drawn into the Tower of Games to take part in an infinite-loop battle royale.
Then one day, explosive news swept through the ability users' forum:
Yan Zhou, the Black Tower's punishment officer and its only special-grade whip wielder, who had supposedly needed just three years to bring every elite ability user in the Alliance to heel despite having only an F-rank ability, had his ability stripped away and the tendons in his hands severed. He was about to be sent into the Tower of Games.
It was said that more than half of the top ability users on the Tower of Games leaderboard, the ones in the top one hundred, had been sent to the Black Tower for violating the Alliance Code and whipped by him.
As countless ability users watched the shackled Black Tower punishment officer through the livestream, they realized that, apart from his indescribably difficult personality,
this once-unattainable man, hailed as the tyrant of ability users, really was a stunningly cold beauty.
The ability users' forum fell silent.
Then it descended into a bizarre frenzy of excitement and celebration. A grand hunt for this beauty began. Some time later, a post appeared on the forum:
[Who the hell said ability users can only awaken one ability?! Wasn't Yan Zhou's ability taken away?!]
[Huh? He has a second ability? What type is it? Does it have a name?]
[It's called "Emperor Simulator."]
[What the hell? What era is this? Ability users! The Alliance! Cyberpunk! Wasteland! And he wants to be emperor here?! Where does he get the nerve?! Ha.]
Some time later.
[...]
[...]
[Yan Zhou took on another deranged courtier. I mean, with all those lunatics around him, can he really keep them in line?]
[It's fine. If he whips them, he won't whip us (sweating profusely.jpg)]

Yan Zhou had fallen from the clouds in a single day. There were few who wanted him alive, and plenty who wanted him dead.
Besides his now-useless F-rank ability, he had another one.
But activating a second ability in this Alliance wasteland world seemed completely out of step with the times.
Because it was called [Emperor Simulator].
An ability based on the laws of fate.
[Please enter your ultimate governing objective.]
[Please enter your gender, age, measurements, and preferred sexual positions.]
Yan Zhou: "..."
[Please enter your requirements for the size, appearance, and age of your male consorts.]
Yan Zhou: "...?"
[Please read the following rules]:
1. The emperor must be the center of attention.
2. The emperor must always be on the path toward his ultimate governing objective, until the end of his life.
3. You have only three years to accomplish your objective.
4. The moment you accomplish your ultimate governing objective, you will die.
[Would you like to activate Emperor Simulator? Yes/No]
The ability screen flickered faintly. A moment later:
[Yes.]
[Your Majesty, allow me to remind you, just as you are about to take the first step toward your grand ambitions.]
Yan Zhou: "What?"
[Beware the "mad dogs" around you who lust after you.]
Yan Zhou: "..."
