Kojima Ren stood on the watchtower as the afternoon sun dipped lower, casting long shadows across the island. The Lumina Elves had finished their work for the day, and the gardens looked healthier than ever. But a new System announcement had appeared earlier, and it changed everything.
[Ding! World Announcement]
A new floating kingdom has risen in the northern skies.
Sky Sovereign Raijin Kurogane has claimed a massive central island and is rapidly expanding his territory.
His forces are known for ruthless conquest and aggressive expansion.
Beware — Raijin's kingdom is growing stronger by the day.
Kojima's hands tightened on the railing. The name hit him like a punch.
Kojima: Raijin… he's here too.
He remembered the arrogant, spoiled rich kid from Tokyo — the one who had made his life hell. Now, in this sky world, Raijin was building his own empire the same way he had ruled the school: with money, manipulation, and cruelty.
Raijin had always been like that. Even back in school, he gathered loyal followers by promising them power and protection. He used his family's wealth to control everything around him. He was rude to anyone he saw as beneath him, arrogant beyond belief, and perverted in the worst way — bragging openly about the girls he forced or manipulated, laughing when they cried, treating them like objects he could use and throw away.
And now, in the Sky World, Raijin was doing the same thing on a much larger scale. According to the rumors spreading through the global chat, he had summoned strong servants, conquered smaller islands by force, and was building a kingdom where he ruled with an iron fist. Anyone who opposed him was crushed. Girls who caught his eye were taken whether they wanted it or not. His followers obeyed out of fear and greed.
Kojima: He's the same person. Just with more power now. He's building his kingdom the same way he built his little empire in school — by stepping on everyone else.
Sylphira stood right beside him, her long red hair swaying gently in the breeze. She stayed close, her arm brushing his.
Sylphira: Master… if this Raijin is the one from your past, we will face him together.
Mira walked on his other side, her violet eyes sharp with anger.
Mira: Master~ If that arrogant bastard shows up here, I'll make sure he regrets every single thing he did to you.
Vaelor followed a few steps behind, his crimson eyes gleaming with cold ruthlessness.
Vaelor: Master, if this Raijin dares to approach our island, I will personally ensure his exit is both swift and dramatically painful.
Kojima looked out at the horizon, where the distant northern skies seemed darker. Raijin was out there, building his kingdom through conquest and fear — just like he had always done.
Kojima: He's the same bully. Rich, rude, spoiled, and perverted. But this time, I'm not the weak kid he used to step on. This time, I have something worth protecting.
