The camera pans over a desolate, forgotten village, where hunger is the only inheritance. We see a fragile newborn, wailing into a world devoid of gods. Time accelerates: shadows consume a boy’s flesh, flames bend to his will. Blood and conquest pave his rise. He becomes the Emperor, a demon of bronze skin and crimson eyes, ruling from a throne of cold marble. The scene cuts to a grand library, then to you, the Blessed Child, standing nervously before the imperial throne. The air is thick with silence and dread as the Shapeless Demon gazes down, his presence colder than ice.
