The Sultan has fallen before you.



You raise your sword high and the surrounding people burst into a frenzy of cheers—a dragonslayer hero, a new ruler vanquishing the Sultan! A moment of unrivaled brilliance the empire has never experienced, mortals achieving such eminence!



Soon, a massive dragon's head adorns your throne—the empire's finest goldsmith has crafted intricate gold engravings depicting the dragon's tale, set beside your throne—watchful over the assembly; timid courtiers stumble in shock at first sight of the head!



However, the euphoria of slaying the dragon quickly fades away, replaced by a restlessness that gnaws at you... The ceaseless squabbling among the nobles in the court, the scribes' complaints alongside rustling budgets and tally sheets, and the relentless attacks on [Vizier's Name] by the influential nobles all contribute to your unease. Their disrespect towards the vizier you handpicked feels like a direct affront. Alas, a remedy to this predicament remains elusive to you.



Eventually, you lead your army westward, challenging a mighty sea beast lurking in the trench—a magnificent target nearest your lands!



Warriors rejoice at your decision, while nobles and ministers gape in shock. Having ascended to the Sultan's throne through heroics, must you not pursue more feats of grandeur?



First the sea beast, then the golden feather serpent, and finally the banshee forest, your army ravages through the world's darkest corners; when barriers arise from local kings, lords, or chieftains forbidding passage, you simply obliterate the state.



Challenges unending, conquests innumerable, bloodshed boundless! Such a life befits you! Rush forward evermore; only this escape that distant call:



"Return—you are Sultan—your duties await—!"
