Prologue

Across the horizon thousands upon thousands of soldiers can be seen situated on the outskirts of the great city of Alibaba, the hot glaring sun just over their heads, enduring the torrid heat inside their full metal armor and the desert's music flowing through the wind like the song of the ancients calling their brethren to join them in eternal slumber. And opposite of them, just outside the high walls of the great city are the warriors of the Golden Seas, the army of the Veiled Oasis with their prided war elephants, their prideful gaze looming over the imperial army.

The sole anomaly in the scenery is a table situated on top of the golden dune and 2 people, a man and a woman, sitting on the chairs playing a game of chess like their surroundings are just insignificant backgrounds. Surrounding them are full-metal knights with a giant insignia of Ouroboros on their armor. The strange atmosphere that surrounds them felt suffocating to those who are nearby.

After quite some time the general of the imperial army commanded the soldiers and a confrontation between the Imperial army and the warrior of the Golden Seas began. The golden dunes were painted red, and the cries of anguish flooded the ears of the warriors with the eerie music of the sands of time. Unbeknownst to the troops of both sides the end of the battle will be decided soon with the match between the man and the woman.

"So, are you willing to concede now my dear princess?" said the man wearing luxurious clothes unbefitting of the gore happening around him.

Tak

"A person who gives up without fighting to the end is not fit for the throne." Said the olive-skinned woman looking at the man with a visible glare.

"And you are fit for it?" Replying with a visible smirk on his face, the unmasked ridicule from his voice and his eyes certainly fitted the personality of the man.

Tak

"Your father, the so-called Sultan of the Veiled Oasis has been quite arrogant lately, well considering that he established a large empire almost consuming 1/4th of the human territory he does have the qualifications to be arrogant." Said the man.

"Yes, unlike you who still has his mother's mi—"

Tak

"Oops, I ate your Queen."

"The so-called "emperor's voice of reason" huh, you have certainly lived up to the pseudonym, Prince James." Said the woman with a sigh.

"Leading me into this trap, I applaud you, prince, you are the only man besides my father that I have admired in recent years."

Tak

"Checkmate."

"Tell me, prince, what is your real goal?"

"My goal is the Holy Emperor's goal."

"And why is that?" said the woman.

"Well, it is with the divine providence that I the prince of the great empire of Argentum have been tasked to bring about the Pax Argentum by the holy emperor." The prince said with a fanatical gaze and voice, like a person showing his devotedness to his God.

The woman looked at the man as if he was a madman consumed by obsession, her eyebrows wrinkled together and her hands uncontrollably shaking, her breaths becoming hurried to the point of having a hard time breathing.

The atmosphere in her surrounding suddenly became suffocating to the point that the blessings of her god has failed to suppress the power of the man in front of her.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"FOR HIS MAJESTY THE HOLY EMPEROR, WE DEVOUR THE LAND WITH SILVER TSUNAMI, ENCASE THE PEOPLE WITH HIS DIVINE JUSTICE, FOR PAX ARGENTUM!"

The prince spoke proudly and loudly, declaring throughout the whole battlefield.

"FOR PAX ARGENTUM, FOR THE HOLY EMPEROR, FOR PAX ARGENTUM!"

The Imperial troops shouted with all their might, the command of their prince. Their momentum and motivation reached the skies, their aura of loyalty encasing the skies with silver wind.

Even with the torrid heat affecting the imperial troops it didn't stop them from slaughtering their way into the gates of the great city of Alibaba. Their fervent belief in the holy emperor became their motivation and strength, even overpowering the natives and great warriors of the desert.

The warriors of the Golden Seas were visibly shaken looking at their princess with worry. Amidst the chaos, the prince looked at the lady of the Golden Seas with tranquility and said, "The only constant in this world is 'change', and the rule of the veiled oasis is about to come to an end."

Sigh

The woman heaved a heavy sigh and her body sunk onto the chair, relaxed. Her face shows a tranquil and calm expression whilst looking towards the man.

"It seems to be that way, to think that a lowly bastard will be the catalyst for change."

"It has been a pleasure to meet you, Esmeralda, goodbye."

Swish

Plop

As the man finished his words the blade of the executioner cut off the head of the woman. Esmeralda's head fell to the ground, the sand dyed red with her blood.

"FIGHT UNTIL THE END, VENGEANCE FOR THE PRIESTESS!"

"VENGEANCE FOR THE PRIESTESS!"

Seeing this, the warriors of the Golden Seas were enraged and put on an all-out assault on the imperial troops of Argentum in an attempt to avenge their beloved priestess.

*Congratulations on killing the priestess of the Golden Seas, Esmeralda!

Obtained 10 status points.

Obtained 20,000 system points.

Obtained 1,000,000 Silver

As a reward for the death of the priestess of the Golden Seas, Esmeralda, the host has obtained a clue to the first chapter's main plot. *

Sigh

I heaved a heavy sigh, looking at the corpse of Esmeralda, her face adorning a calm and tranquil expression, seemingly accepting all that happened.

I still hear the clanging and scratching of metals against metals and the squelching of flesh and blood.

With this desert heat, I am getting quite impatient to finish the campaign this time, but problems really just keep arising like the corruption inside the army, my traitorous sibling, guerilla warfare, ambushes, etc.

I just want to have a vacation or even a weeklong break is fine but if I take one right now problems will just keep coming and my headache will worsen.

Sigh

Fuck my life, but the one I want to fuck the most is my wife so there is that.

'System, use the clue for the first chapter of the main plot.'

*Affirmative, Using the clue for the first chapter of the main plot.

In the east comes a man from the west,

The man from the West comes from the East,

The beginning will be the end,

The end will be the beginning,

The journey is about to unfold,

Let the requiem begin. *

What the fuck is this. Can you not please make my life more complicated than it already is? I am really quite sick and tired of all this. But well, I need to earn my keep, and to earn my keep I need to finish quests and if I finish quests I will live for another day.

Sigh

It seems I need to decipher this piece of shit. I really miss my home, my dog, and my dog. I said it twice because it is important.

Honestly speaking, all of these seem like a fever dream but well, it is my reality now and I do not even have a single clue about what will happen in the future. Just being thrown here suddenly in the middle of the world with no explanations is quite frightening well, as a grown-ass man I need to "Man Up" like what society says. Can't even relax because I need to have that "Sigma Male Grindset" like what some guys with loud obnoxious voices and full of testosterone said.

"Your Royal Highness." A knight walked towards me and saluted.

"Speak."

"The army of the Golden Seas has been eradicated, waiting for orders sir!"

"Command all the troops to group up with their battalions and rest for a while, await my next orders, dismissed."

"For Pax Argentum."

"For Pax Argentum."

The knight saluted and left to spread my command to the Division leaders.

'How did it come to this again?' I am slowly forgetting but well thankfully I kept a record in my room about all of this.

Donning this persona of fanaticism for my father, the holy emperor is really exhausting. The headaches never ceased to exist since he favored me over his idiotic sons. And with that comes headaches because of jealousy, fuck my life.

Well, I do not regret it though, I only do this for a chance to survive in this god-forsaken world.

If someone said to me that I will be reincarnated to another world before this actually happened to me, I would just play along and treat that person as an idiot but here I am.

'I got isekai'ed huh.'

Sigh

Another sigh escapes from my mouth, these days it becomes more frequent, because of stress probably. Well, how did I come to this point again? Right, it was that.
