A 7 year old Augustus can be seen seated near the window of the Royal Library. He looked out to see the busy streets of the capital.
He enjoyed the view from the high windows looking down and seeing the whole capital. It stretched as far as he could see.
The Royal palace and The Royal Library were next to each other and built in the center of the capital city.
The Moonlight kingdom was a level 5 kingdom as it was recently promoted to Level 5 one decade ago. The kingdom had 2 Dukes and 6 Marquis. The moonlight kingdom had no other nobles since their ancestors felt it was a waste of manpower and would lead to division of power.
It was also the reason, the kingdom never went through any rebellious as it will be easy to be quelled since the founding of the kingdom only the Royal family had an army.
The Royal family had an army of body cultivators and Mages. The Moonlight kingdom was stronger than even level 4 kingdoms but they could not advance cause they just advanced recently. The King believed they should recover and digest their previous advance.
The Royal court was advocating for new nobles to be chosen to be delegated to this newly conquered lands so they can do the hard work but the King rejected the idea and instead sent city lords to manage a city and 5 towns.
The newly added territories had given rise to a Duke and 2 Marquis. The new Duke was previously a Marquis but due to his contributions in the war and the previous generation he was awarded a Duke title.
The new Marquis were also people who made contributions in this generation and the previous generations.
They were to relocate to new territories and start a new. But no one refused since they were all happy with it. It was not every day where they see someone being promoted or a new noble family emerging.
The continent there were in was the central continent and was twice the size of all the other 6 continents combined.
The six continents were; Eastern, Western, Northern, Southern, Sword, and Demon continents.
All continents were inhabited mostly by humans except the demon continents where demons lived plus other species like elves, dwarfs and fairies. The western continents is dominated by beast men but humans also live there and have their own kingdoms.
The Sword continent is probably the only one that had sword users only cultivatiors.
Back a few thousand years ago when the sword emperor found this place, he cut off all the trees and mountains with his sword. The atmosphere of the sword continent is filled with sword intent. Some places even have sword domains.
He banned anyone who didn't use a sword to stay foot there. The Sword Sect is the only sect there and the ruler of the continent. Though it's the smallest.
The other 4 continents are slightly larger and more diverse. In the past 10 years there have being no level 3 and above kingdom.
The sword sect tired to form a kingdom but was attacked by a coalition from the southern, western and central continents.
No one wished to see a level 1 kingdom appear so early when the strongest kingdom on the planet is level 4.
The level 4 kingdom is called Sun Empire. It is found on the central continent and shares a border with the Moonlight Kingdom on its Northern border, a level 5 kingdom on its western border and a coastal border on the south and east side.
The Moonlight kingdom has The Sun empire on its south and a coastal border on its east. The west is a level 6 kingdom, Lunos Kingdom and the north is level 7 Kingdom Marci Kingdom. The continent only had 5 kingdoms left. The strongest was the Sun empire. It has existed for more than a few thousand years.
At the beginning of the new era, seventeen years ago it was a level 5 kingdom. It destroyed 3 of its neighbors who were level 8 to be promoted to level 4.
The moonlight kingdom was a level 6 at the beginning but now they are a level 5 kingdom after successively destroying two of its neighbors who were unranked.
The other continent have the strongest at level 5 and the weakest at level 7 which was the Levaithan Kingdom which hired mercenary for war and they excel at defense and were the wealthiest kingdom on the continent.
The Royal family were merchants and they had a rare mineral mine. The reason they were never conquered is their terrain, it's too mountainous. The Royal family has their traces back to the dwarves.
They have many friends around the continent and normally have their children marry into the Sun empire Royal family or Moonlight Kingdom. One of Kings wives is the daughter of the current king of Levaithan.
Augustus mother is from a level 5 kingdom Great East on the eastern continent and is the strongest on the respective continent. She is the sister of the current king. Since the old king step down a month after the Star Emperor games began.
Among the natives and the common people it's believed that whoever can dominate and rule the central continent can progress to conquer other continents. Majority lean towards the Sun empire or Moonlight kingdom.
