Chapter 1 - Prologue

'Who dares to stand before me? I am not merely a god—I am the one above all gods!' he thundered, his voice a cataclysm on the battlefield.

I faced many who claimed to be gods.

'Arthur, does your heart even know affection?' She cried out, her tears a torrent of sorrow.

I have shattered the hearts that beat for me.

'My dear friend, did you truly believe your grandmother's demise was an act of fate? A pitiful farce, indeed. She was purged like the vermin she was,' his words were a blade, cold, mocking, and precise.

Those I cherished have been scorched by my shadow.

'Prince, our blood is your legacy, the lives of countless innocents are in your hands!' they wailed, their lamentations a dirge on an island besieged by global carnage.

I have been the harbinger of death to thousands.

'Initiating Pendragon Industries' nanotechnology program, I am...' The voice in my mind, a meld of human and machine, a harbinger of a new dawn.

Super advanced technologies were implanted in me.

'Father! No, not you, father...!' My screams were a requiem, cradled in my butler's arms.

I have tasted the... 'Ahh!'— that tale is for another time.

'Supreme Commander!' uttered, my gaze heavy with the weight of war.

I have commanded legions as a revered warlord.

'LONG LIVE THE DRAGON LORD!' Nations knelt, their adoration a mantle upon my shoulders.

I have been an emperor, I have been a king, exalted by armies, peoples, monarchs, entire nations.

'Why are you resisting me? You just need to say yes,' she whispered, her allure a dangerous dance.

I have been ensnared by temptation.

'Forgive me, Arthur, I had no choice...' her betrayal came as a whisper, a sword buried in my back.

I have been betrayed.

'Arthur, how could you?! I loved you, I gave you everything...' bathed in tears.

Have I mentioned that I have disappointed?

You may have heard tales of me, of enchanted blades, sorcerers, and thrones, but I am not that Arthur. Let me tell you who I am!
