Even if I fall into another world, I must rebuild the empire

"The empire stands because I stand… and it falls if I fall." This was the belief I carried throughout my entire life the idea that settled deep within me until it became a part of my very soul. The empire was never merely land, a throne, or borders drawn upon maps to me; it was everything. It was the reason I lived, the purpose for which I fought, and the dream to which I devoted my entire life. It was my life… and it was me. But fate mocked that belief, and everything collapsed. The walls fell, the banners were extinguished, and the empire I built with my own hands sank into a darkness I could not prevent. And yet… if I were to rise again, if I were to open my eyes once more in this strange world— Would I stand idly by and watch everything collapse again? No. I will not. I will not hesitate, I will not retreat, and I will not allow history to repeat itself. Whatever this world may be, and whatever laws govern it, I will do whatever is required… everything without exception. Even if I must walk upon rivers of blood. Even if the price is my humanity. Even if it demands my very soul. If that is the price for restoring what was lost… then I will pay it without hesitation. In this new world, where no one knows me, and where my story has not yet been written— I will begin from nothing. My name is Elia Leith. And I will rebuild the empire I desire… in the way I desire it, and with the power I choose. And whether this world loves it or hates it… My empire will rise again.
