Chapter 52 - Prologue to Volume II: Leviathan Arc

The New Imperial Palace was huge. As it was engineered using TerraMage's Magitek. EDEN Corporation had reclaimed land on the coast of Kyoto and engineered a 10-story Japanese Medieval Fortress. It was designed to reflect the cultural history of the Japanese Empire and to prevent any sort of anachronism against the buildings surrounding it. Because Kyoto is the cultural center of Japan, many structures there still retain the architecture of the Japanese past. The Japanese public who were mesmerized by the gigantic structural miracle that had been raised on their shores, had deemed the New Imperial Palace to be a magical fortress. Some called it the Shogun Castle, while others went towards the more mystical name, calling it the Demon Lord's Palace.
