Prologue: Even Lord, I Will Fight

The world was ruled by eight Lords, each reigning over their own domain with unquestionable authority. They were not tyrants nor dictators, but forces of nature themselves — revered as gods by some, respected by all. The balance of power they maintained had kept peace for countless generations. Their influence shaped the lands, from the rolling plains to the highest peaks, from the deepest seas to the windswept deserts. Under their watch, civilization flourished, boundaries were drawn, and the world moved in harmony, as if it had always been destined to be this way.

Each Lord possessed a power that was beyond human understanding. They commanded the elements, bent reality to their will, and held the fate of all life in their hands. No army could challenge them, no hero could defeat them. They were guardians and protectors, ensuring that no one continent grew too powerful, that no force disturbed the delicate equilibrium they had created. The Lords were above conflict, above ambition, beyond the desires of mere mortals.

And yet, with such power, their decisions were final. When they decreed, it was law. When they acted, it was without question. But the world beneath them was not as peaceful as it seemed. Beneath the calm surface, dissent brewed. Not all were content with the balance, with the Lords' unshakable influence. For some, the Lords were not benevolent guides, but immovable walls, preventing the world from evolving, from rising to its true potential.

One soul, in particular, could no longer accept the world as it was. Not out of hatred for the Lords, but out of a desire to break free from the order they upheld. The Lords, for all their power, were a force that kept humanity stagnant. To fight them was not an act of rebellion, but an act of liberation, a challenge to the very notion that peace meant complacency.

Against forces that no one dared to oppose, against beings who ruled not with cruelty but with unyielding control, this soul stood alone. Not out of malice, but out of a belief that something greater lay beyond their reign.

Even against the Lords, they would fight.
