The Empire Falls Without Me — Episode 2

Mars, the invincible God of War who guarded the Abyss and secured the realm, was brutally stabbed in the back by the crown after a monumental victory. His heroic deeds were stolen by Lester, who leveraged the stolen glory to ascend to the kingdom's apex and claim the adoration of the entire city. Abandoning past favors, Queen Isola stripped Mars of his duty to protect the realm. Every trace of former loyalty between monarch and subject was declared void, and the loyal war hero was ruthlessly banished. Yet, as the nation bathes in illusory peace, no one realizes that a catastrophic Abyssal calamity, one capable of devouring the entire kingdom, has only just begun.
