After a coalition of planets in a distant frontier declared independence, The Terran Federation of Planets deemed this improperly conducted, illegal and an act of terrorism. When a force sent to the hub of the revolution meant to quell it was destroyed in a catastrophic battle, The Sovereign Empire was formed.

With time, the "Emperor" became a legitimate figure of authority, with a legitimate line of succession.... more>>

At length: Qin City, the capital of the Qinzhao Empire, is renamed for the large number of talents who inhabit it. The emperor and his relatives, the royal family of elves, the hero who saved the world from demons, the most valiant and wise among the orcs and dwarves, and many other figures remembered throughout the world.

But the grayish marble streets that are home to so many people also conceal shadows and secrets—a hidden world where eyes cannot gaze, ravens that watch from the darkness, and an immemorial and unconscious evil that awakens after millennia.

Playing the role of adversary to these monsters, enemies and demons is no important face of the Empire, but a cheap and pretty mask of black colour and vengeful appearance, hiding a simple little girl. Get ready, residents of Qin City.

For while the secret organizations burn and the billowing smoke heads for the sky and the puppeteers find themselves empty-handed, when secrets come to the surface, no matter how heavy, and the name Scar veiledly touches the tongues of every citizen, a familiar face finally emerges from the fog.

"Tomorrow they will try to end the life of the Emperor's son! No, I can't say it that way. It must sound, hmm—cooler!

A dark secret on the continent of Arsmoor will shake the very foundations of the Human Empire.

As the once-aspiring hero Morgan, now known as Doctor Dread, grapples with the loss of her daughter and the betrayal of the Hero's League, she finds herself at a crossroads. Consumed by grief and anger, she is determined to bring down the very organization she once believed in.... more>>

Driven by a desire for justice and retribution, Doctor Dread begins to take matters into her own hands. She uses her intellect and knowledge of hero tactics to outsmart and outmaneuver the Hero's League, all the while carrying out acts of vigilante justice that often result in the betterment of the community.

However, as Doctor Dread delves deeper into her quest for vengeance, she begins to question the morality of her actions. She grapples with the notion that the ends may not always justify the means, and that her path of destruction may be causing more harm than good.

Amidst her inner turmoil, Doctor Dread encounters individuals who challenge her beliefs and offer her a chance at redemption. A young hero-in-training who sees the good in her, a former colleague who seeks to understand her motives, and a community that begins to question the Hero's League's methods all play a role in her transformation.

As Doctor Dread navigates the complexities of her newfound purpose, she must confront her past traumas and the darkness within herself. She realizes that true justice and change can only come from a place of compassion and understanding, rather than vengeance and destruction.

In a climactic showdown with the Hero's League, Doctor Dread must decide whether to continue down the path of villainy or to embrace her true potential as a force for positive change. In doing so, she not only seeks to make amends for her past actions but also to inspire others to rise above their own pain and find a way to do what is right, no matter the cost. <<less
