The grand castle of King Asmodeus, once magnificent and imposing, now lies in ruins. The towering spires that symbolized his power have been torn down, split apart by forces of unimaginable strength. Inside the royal hall, where Asmodeus once sat in grandeur, his body lies motionless on the floor, bleeding black blood from the fatal wounds that mark the betrayal of those he trusted most.
For thousands of years, Asmodeus built his vampire empire through unmatched strategic warfare and political cunning. He was known not just for his immortality but also for his sharp intellect, which had always allowed him to escape the most dangerous situations. But on this day, betrayal struck with precision, orchestrated by his closest allies. The Council of Vampires, once loyal, conspired against him, joining forces with humans and other malevolent beings to dismantle his empire. They attacked with overwhelming force, and the kingdom fell, leaving Asmodeus helpless and betrayed.
"This king of ruins is the past," Ulric, his once-trusted ally, smirked. "We will build a new empire—one based not on sheer power, but on intellect and determination."
The very people Asmodeus had trusted, those closest to him, turned against him. Together, they heralded an era where humans would dominate the once-vampire-controlled underworld, betraying their former leader.
As the fatal blow struck and Asmodeus felt his life draining away, his thoughts swirled with sorrow and rage. Yet, in the darkness of near-death, a faint light seemed to embrace him—almost as though it beckoned. Before long, a voice echoed in his mind, drawing him back.
"Rise again, Vampire King. Your strength is not fully spent."
"Who calls me?" Asmodeus asked, confused.
"I am the Entity of the Awakening System, granting you a chance to reclaim your destiny," the voice replied.
Within this moment, the concept of a Summon System began to form in Asmodeus's mind. This system, according to the voice, would allow him to summon legendary beings with power beyond his own, creatures that would serve his need for vengeance and the rebuilding of the empire that once thrived. His immense luck (Luck: 999,999+) would grant him the near-unlimited ability to summon beings of the highest tier with unparalleled strength.
"With this system, you will summon your army and take the world back once more."
The system worked by summoning beings with specific star levels, each with their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Level 1 stars were weaker and suited for small tasks, while Level 10 stars were godlike beings capable of changing the very fabric of reality. Asmodeus realized that this power would allow him to not only seek revenge but also rebuild a new, stronger empire—one that surpassed even what had existed before. What's more, Asmodeus could assign his summoned creatures specific roles within his new kingdom. Some could serve as Ministers of Finance or Defense, while others could protect him personally. This flexibility would grant him control over both his military and political spheres.
