Chapter 1: Where am I?
In a dark room filled with discarded clothes, scattered trash, and the pungent stench of mold, a young man, seemingly nineteen years old, sits in front of a computer.
[You have died.]
[Good luck next time.]
"Damn you! What luck? This is my thousandth time in this cursed game!"
The young man starts yelling madly, slamming the table in frustration, cursing loudly.
"If I can't even conquer one empire, how do they expect me to conquer six empires and unite the world?"
[Empire Unification], a global game that appeared five years ago, gained fame for its high-quality graphics, excellent mechanics, and expansive world-building. The player's goal is to conquer and unify six empires.
During the protagonist's childhood, a mysterious man prophesies the world's future, foreseeing its destruction. To prevent the end of the world, the man asks the protagonist to unite all empires so humanity can stand together against the impending threat.
The protagonist's journey begins from humble origins—a farmer turns into an adventurer, an adventurer becomes a student at the academy, and from a student, he rises to knighthood.
The beginning of the game is solid and well-executed, but trouble starts when the protagonist graduates from the academy and begins his quest to unify the empires.
This is where the game starts to falter. The first empire to conquer is the [Northern Empire, Tirshtain], where the academy is located.
