The year is 654.
As a commander was hastily walking through the hall into the throne room. “ Your Majesty, the Markus bandits are attacking, their force is 5,000 men strong, we only have 1,000 men left in the imperial castle”.
The king was in distress, his last ordered too all his remaining men to protect all the citizens within the city and fight to their death, “if we let any into this city, it will certainly be destroyed, not just the city, they will kill all the people they see.. I guess we have no choice anymore, Mages we must break the taboo and summon a hero to save us, ”the king was thinking he felt like he had no other choice left, he wanted to believe that his ancestors would understand, that if he didn't summon the hero. The empire will be destroyed, but deep down he knew his ancestors would look at him with shame, summoning a hero was taboo because they hero could never return to there world, and summoning a hero could lead to world changing events that may destroy the world. “As you command your Majesty, we will begin the hero summoning..”

Earth, location ******.
The boy who would be summon was known as Malen, he was on his way to school, he was listening to 2000’s pop music, all of a sudden a magic circle appeared on the ground. he was trying to move away from it, to see if he could get away, but the magic circle on the ground followed him, soon after the circle start to beam a bright light.
He was only 18 years old when he was summoned, he loved to play music and he loved to sing, but a topic he loved most of all was history, mostly American history, he was infatuated with the civil war and world war 1 through world war 2. He knew that these wars cost many lives, but at the same time he thought that these wars might be necessary to bring world peace and end the practice of slavery in the United States.
One of his biggest dreams was to create a nation that was like the United States, but be able to produce its ideals much faster than the United States did. He wants a constitutional monarchy, with the idea of freedom, liberty and justice.
The king would not be the full ruler of the nation, he will only have one half of the power to help the empire grow, but making this nation would be very hard because there are many problems with this type of governance, like what if the congress gained to much power or if one branch gained to much power, he knew the United States did it but it was very complicated and very hard to recreate, so he thought what if the rules had power to hold congress accountable for its action that may harm or threaten the people and same goes for the other branches, but at the same time the congress and other branches can do the same to the rulers. The people who rule on this would be the supreme court of his nation.
Malen thought long and hard on this question and improved it, he knew that it could never be perfect but he at least tried.

Planet Cassthis, location The Empire.
As his Majesty grabbed his sword, he left the room with a few words to his wife. “honey, if i don't return and if the Empire is not destroyed make the hero the Emperor, I have a feeling he might do great things for the Empire and I love you and I hope we can meet again my love…”
As the Emperor walked out of the throne room, all his wife could see was his back and the insignia of the Empire, all she could say was “ I hope god does not abandon us, may this nation last another thousand years” as she fell to the ground a guard came up to get her and lifted her up. “We must go see the hero, Empress, the mages are waiting for you”. The guard and the Empress left the throne room to the mages room.

Outside the Imperial Castle Walls.
As the Emperor was about to give his last word to his army, he felt scared, knowing that he will most likely die here.”So it seems it has come to this, my men, 1 against 5, odds are not with us, but as your emperor and as the person who promised to protect this empire i will fight with you, soon, very soon, i hope this bloody war could end… so fight on, fight on, until we have won, let us, protect our family and our children… even if I die here, another shall replace me and they will fight for our empire, until we have won this war, 6 generations of fighting, our empire, has fallen, from the best in the world, to one of the weakest in the world, but we will still keep fight because we will not tarnish the name of our empire, like the first generation that created this empire, they had the same believes and hopes as us, so let us protect our past and future of this empire May god still bless this Empire…” as his men cried out loud they could only say one word. “We will not surrender this nation to anyone!!!”. As the emperor felt proud of his men he gave his words, “Then let us die here together!!!”..
Main Camp of the Imperial Castle.
As a man in shiny armor came in, the emperor greeted him, “So Kiven, how much longer until they get here?”. As Kiven felt sad the home he grew up in might be destroyed, if they don't win. The emperor told him. “why are you sad, this is only the beginning, our empire will not come to an end, because as long as there are warriors that are willing to fight for our flag, our empire will last for eternity.” Kiven felt a little more cheered up by these words, after he stopped crying Kiven gave his report, “we have about 5 minutes until the army of Deska get here”. The emperor put his head down a little, then he raised up as quickly as he putted down. “Then let's go fight, let us meet them head on!”. Kiven's response to the emperor was quick, which surprised the emperor a little. “As you command”.

Deska Main Camp Out the ruins of Espye.
As a man in cladded armor came up to the general tent to give his report, “General, we have successfully pushed back The Empire army and are now on the retreat, but our losses are high, we lost around 1 thousand men, while they lost only 500 and the emperor”. As the general rubbed his chin, “hmm, it seems we underestimated them, but they should only have about 500 left, where did they retreat to?”. The cladded armor man told the Deskan General, “They seem to have retreated back to the imperial castle”. The Deskan General told his men to push forward because now that the emperor is dead they would have less morale to fight because their ruler is gone.
