In the world, there were gods who obeyed the rules, whether good or evil. But there were also evil gods who defied the rules. When a traverser was confronted by the rules that he could never conform to, the resulting collision marks the beginning of the story of an evil god… This is the story of a good man who transformed into a great jellyfish, then traversed his world to arrive at a world of swords and magic. His journey of searching and exploring eventually led to him remaking nature and changing the world.

Though this "scholar emperor" hadn't been emperor of the Orcs for very long, he'd accumulated a great amount of power. On top of that, rather than dying, he'd done the equivalent of ascending to the heavens in broad daylight.
