1 So I am an Emperor now

Alright so I guess I'll leave my fleets there ready to invade and conquer those territories whilst keeping my alliances going with the other factions hopefully I'll be able to conquer that faction before the end of the alliance treaty.Ryan looks down and see the time.Ah almost 3 am I should get to bed I got work in 5 hours and gotta wake up in 3 hours so I can get ready.Ryan gets into bed and sleeps.

Commander Maya how is the Emperor this evening a tall man with black hair pale skin and green eyes asks.Fine I Suppose he is sleeping early today Lord Tozan.Maya is dark skinned with short red hair and black eyes she wears her usual commando armor black sleek tough ready to fight anytime.I see well here is my report for today from Kurast.Tozan hands a data pad to Maya.I will make sure his Majesty gets this is that all Lord Tozen.Yes Commander Maya I'll be on my way now.Lord Tozen leaves.

The following morning.Ryan yawns as he rubs his eyes.Ahhhh slept like a rock.Waittttttttt SHITTTTTTTT I am late.Commander Maya barges in.What is wrong your Majesty.Huh what.Ryan looks blankly at Commander Maya."the hell is going on isnt that Maya one of my fleet Commanders but why is she here in my room I thought to myself."Ryan looks all around and sits down in a chair in front of a desk.It is nothing Commander Maya just a nightmare sorry for worrying you.I see very well your Majesty I'll be just outside if you need me.

"So I am in Dark Void the space strategy game how the hell did this happen seriously well whatever just going to make the most of this situation I suppose."Ryan begins writing up a blueprint after a few hours of work he wraps it up gets dressed and heads out Commander Maya following next to me she hands me a data pad as i walk towards the throne room on board my flagship The U.S.G Wolfen Blood.

As Ryan reads through the Data pad he thinks to himself."hmm so back at the start of the game interesting I wonder why eh whatever."As Ryan and Maya enter the throne room there are many people present as I sit down on the throne Commander Maya speaks.His Majesty Emperor Ryan of Kurast is present bow before him.Everyone present bows and then Maya calls in the first person to see me.Lord Tozen you may approach his Majesty.I thank you for granting me an audience your Majesty.Please Lord Tozen I will always have time for my subjects you may speak.

Thank you your words are kind your Majesty I am here today to ask what should be built on Kurast and what should we focus on,on the planet down below.For now focus on opening new mines we need the raw materials for many things other then that as the population grows make more farms to support our people with food as for the space station begin creation of Corvettes five should be enough for now I say.Very well you Majesty it shall be done.

Next is Head Scientist of the physics department Oswell,Commander Maya says but I raise my hand and everyone murmurs between each other.Today I want to say I will require someone to be the Head of the Secret research department that is just now created any volunteers.Many people in the crowd raise their hands.Commander Maya I leave it to you to find the most capable for this position.Very well your Majesty.After a few hours of watching Commander Maya speaking to people in the crowd she brings three people who bow before me.

These three show the most promise your Majesty.Commander Maya personally speaking who would you Recommend.I dont believe my word is comparable to yours your Majesty.Commander Maya your opinion matters as much as it does to anyone else please speak freely.If you insist your Majesty my recommendation would be Sir Roger's sir he is loyal can keep his mouth shut he already has worked for many corporations on secret projects for them and he has combat experience he was one of the few to fight the pirates nearby when they attacked the station he was assigned on however he was the ship's doctors but still he is very passionate in what he does especially when defending it like he defended his patients that day.

I see I have made my decision Roger's you will be the head Scientist of the Secret research department.Thank you your Majesty you grace me greatly with such an opportunity.As for the other two if you are willing you may work for Mr.Rogers.Thank you your Majesty they both say in unison.I stand up and tell Roger's to do so too.

Commander Maya give me the document I gave you before.Commander Maya hands the blueprints back to me.This shall be your first project Mr.Rogers any questions.As Roger's takes the blueprints and takes a look at them.Commander Maya has the soldiers in the Chamber surround Roger's so no one can see what is on the document.

Hmm a design like this is plausible however we may need to research its engine power source that is suitable for it but yes I should be able to do it your Majesty I could even have a working prototype by the end of the year 2 years if I encounter any issues.Good I am counting on you Mr.Rogers you may leave.Roger bows and leaves with a small group of soldiers accompanying him as well with his assistants in tow.

I look around as I stand up and announce to the whole crowd.My good people of the Rose Empire Forward Into the darkness now is our time we shall explore the galaxy together I shout afterwards everyone cheers as I exit the throne room while Commander Maya follows behind me.Maya set course for neighboring star system Orolla we shall claim it for the Rose Empire and establish a space station and explore as we do I say.Understood your Majesty Maya leaves promptly as another soldier passes by a female with silver hair and dark blue eyes and small frame and body yet tall like 6'5 that's when I suddenly realized this was Commander Luna a famed Commander in charge of one of my biggest fleets in the game smart cautious battle hardened and loyal and very robot like yet was from a commoner background.

so she had to raise through the ranks until she showed up as an officer to recruit in the game and even then there's a chance she would die beforehand.

Hold there soldier I say as Luna snaps to attention and bows respectfully.Private first class Luna how may I assist you your Majesty she says.

Follow me Luna I'd like to talk with you I say as she looks around confused almost thinking she didnt hear me as she nods and follows behind as i head to the observatory deck passing by numerous soldiers as we enter the lift taking us up to the observatory that's when I noticed Luna fidgeting.

Haha relax Luna your not in any trouble or anything like that in fact if anything you piqued my interest and no not like that I chuckle softly.What do you mean your Majesty she says in a relax tone.

Well I read up on your dossier your an outstanding trooper and thus I have a special assignment for you I look to her as she looks at me with her head tilted confused.Surely there are better soldiers then me though your Majesty Luna says bluntly.Haha I laugh hard for a moment and then compose myself as the lift comes to a halt and we exit onto the observatory deck several soldiers and officers all looking our way as most bow and mutter to one another while eating as I head to a special table overlooking the vast emptiness of space and Kurast down below.

I take my seat as several Honor guards come rushing over and taking up a guard stance nearby all of which are in battle armor carrying energy spears and shields as Luna takes her seat in opposite of me.Strange to think I can be here in the flesh this was an optional point in creating The Wolfen Blood as well as a place to meet new promising individuals to recruit in the game such a beautiful site I say to myself lost in thought as I lean back in my seat.

No I want you Luna simple as that to lead a new division of soldiers the first In all of The Rose Empire I am thinking of calling it the Rose Knights Division what do you think.Luna looks straight up clearly unshaken and undisturbed by anything I have said or maybe she is it's hard to tell as she hardly expresses Emotions as everyone in the high end observatory cafeteria is looking at us as I notice Commander Maya walking over.

I don't know your Majesty it's a huge honor to bear and I don't think I am suited for the job Luna says as Maya comes within earshot and stops in her tracks.Oh nonsense Luna I am sure you can handle anything no matter how big or bad it gets you can endure anything I say knowing Maya is listening as I grin teasing her.Maya suddenly blushes red as she approaches and asks stammering.Your ….Majesty….um..uh we should…uhhh I am so sorry to interrupt Maya as she attempts to walk away.

Haha I laugh again all teasing aside come sit with us Maya this conversation involves you as well I say as she stops and returns still beat red realizing I was teasing her.In the game i set her bio as a childhood friend of the Emperor hence why she was chosen as my first Commander and other details are too long to list I say to myself.

Needless to say in two years from now the First Rose Knight will be needed I was thinking it should be one of you two to become the first I say holding my hands together as I look at them both as Maya speaks.Your Majesty are you referring to the New research Mr.Rogers is under taking.I nod and contuine to explain how itll work and try to make them both understand how important it could be on the battlefield.

So itll be like armored Infantry in space interesting idea your Majesty Luna says as Maya chips in.I can understand but how different could it possibly be from fighters and bombers your Majesty.

Simple for one they can have shields not yet but definitely in the future bigger and better guns armor you name it the problem really would be the energy source fighters and bombers dont really need alot then again its numbers they are reliant on especially in space combat another useful application for it is defending against boarding parties and boarding enemy ships as well. This makes Maya think pretty hard for a moment after a while she nods.I see and why make a new department for making it your Majesty also.Maya looks at the Honor guards listening in nearby as they all gulp silently understanding full well of the consequences if they ever speak of this conversation to anyway as Maya turns away and speaks again.

It's good they understand Maya says as she chuckles and I laugh as we both look to Luna.I understand full well Your Majesty Luna says.Very good then Captain until then Commader Maya is your Officer so begin reporting to her from now on any questions I say.Luna looks at me blankly but obviously stunned.Captain your Majesty she looks down and then at Maya who shrugs.I leave Luna under your Command Maya she has Talent and Abilty and I hope you make her one of the best officers in the Rose Empire.

Maya and Luna stand up at attention and say in unison,yes your Majesty we wont let you down as I stand up and nod.Then you are both dismissed they nod as they leave as I sit back down looking out into the stars.As I think to myself and hum a tune to pass the time as an honor guard kneels before me.Is there anything you'd like your Majesty he asks.I sigh and look at him still thinking my damn knights that's what I say as I chuckle before leaving and heading back to my room.

2years pass by quickly as I rush to the Secret research department to meet up with Roger as the prototype is finally finished and unveiled on hanger bay 5 onboard my flagship.

Your Majesty this is the completed Prototype The Mark 1 Knight it's been shortly tested in a controlled environment on the surface of Kurast this past year and it's well to say it's amazing would not do it any justice your Majesty the first of it's kind but still remarkable however it requires a pilot but surely you already know this very well your Majesty says Rogers.Captain Luna was responsible for testing it before correct then that Knight is hers afterall I expect your department to make more while researching the next model i say.of course I'll help as well Roger says.

With all due respect your Majesty after everything my department wants to experiment with new designs and all and hence we would like to not have your input with all due respect no offense your Majesty Roger's says.as I laugh heartily as we head up to the command deck on hanger 5 as Luna gets inside the Knight.None taken Roger's just remember your department is funded by me I expect results it's ok if there are set backs shit happens I get it but I would like to know in advance beforehand if possible of course.Of course your Majesty here is your comms so you may talk to Captain Luna and here are the camera feeds Roger shows me as we sit down in the command deck and watch the feeds.

Ready Captain Luna i say over the comms.I am ready your majesty she responds as cold as always then takes a massive rifle laying on the floor chambering a magazine fit for it with massive bullets then does a system check.All systems operating in the green taking flight.Luna says as she disappears into the vacuum of space as everyone on board the ship watches through the feeds showing everything.

Target practice shall begin Captain Luna Roger's says as several drones start flying out of the capital ship and dashing through space as Luna starts shooting each one down one after the next.Very good Luna i reply as Maya steps behind me whispering.Your majesty long range scanners show an unidentified vessel in the area your orders she says.I raise my finger and respond to Luna.Captain Luna an unidentified vessel has been scanned nearby investigate immediately stay within the knight at all times however I reply as Luna says.Understood your Majesty.
