Crown and Loneliness

"I want to survive!" Those are words the boy often says. On this continent where strength rules all, he races on alone in pursuit of the justice in his heart. He goes from being a homeless child despised by everyone to becoming the ruler of an empire, at the cost of everything he has. Life? Friends? A lover? Power? Emotions? He gives up everything for the empire and its people, yet in the end, an unexpected fate awaits him. The very moment he puts on the crown, he becomes the empire's traitor. This is not only an epic chronicling an empire's rebirth, its glory, and its collapse, but also a portrait of a boy adrift in his ideals. "They say ideals are nothing more than mayflies trying to shake a tree. But how can you know unless you try?"
