Emperor's Reckoning

Heaven, hell, and the world themselves have forgotten a prominent figure that once stood at the pinnacle. Alas, the said figure himself forgot who he was. Lyon is a young man who lived a leisurely life on earth. Not much was said except that he enjoyed such a life. However, one fateful night sent him to the world where killing is not a sin, alchemy is a thing, and magic cultivation is not imaginary. Immediately after being sent to this world. He is met with a beautiful woman who rumbled the earth and cracked the very firmament under the mortals' eyes. Selena is her name. She claimed to be his wife, the first one of three. However, their meetings didn't last long due to circumstances that he has yet understood. With one wedding ring on his finger that contained half of his past power, he sets forth to find Cecile, the woman whom Selena said is a queen in Blue Continent, the other wife that he adored then. But, he lacked focus at times, and combined with his whimsical nature, he often finds himself, in unusual situations. His smirk and lazy demeanor brought nothing but trouble for himself and the others around him. His relentless nature of stealing, his rebellious adolescence year, and the capability to smile by the teeth of a gnawing dragon brought his charm to a height that fairies once forget. Though his perverted nature often gets them to scurry away almost immediately, those that stayed long enough to know him better, know the redeeming qualities of Lyon Torga as a whole. Regardless! His arrival in this world has rotated an old cog of fate that those old monsters and old kings in the ages of the ancients, would have never guessed to be working again.

The Zodiac Emperor

"Do you own this grove?" asked Lyon.

As Lyon's question hung in the air, a palpable tension settled over the scene. Karesh's features contorted in disbelief, a mixture of shock and indignation overtaking his expression. The audacity of Lyon's inquiry was like a slap across his face, challenging the very foundation of his unspoken authority within the grove.

His initial defiance wavered, his eyes flickering between Lyon and the ground as if searching for the right words to respond. The realization that his attempt at exerting authority was being exposed created a sense of defeat that gnawed at his pride. Karesh had projected himself as a figure of influence, an effort to command the respect of his peers, but Lyon's pointed question had laid bare the truth.
