From Hostage to Hegemon - Episode 1

Captured inside Northland’s military base, the Ystravian king is paraded, mocked, and forced to watch as soldiers prepare to enslave and slaughter his people. Amid the carnage Chad collapses and Xavier fears he won’t survive; servants pledge loyalty while Erin asks if reversing the past could stop future wars. When soldiers demand the king witness his people killed, he snaps, "I will end this hell!" The host’s rage peaks, triggering the Tyrant System. The episode closes as the system activates with the order "Begin conquering this world," leaving the king’s uprising and its consequences unresolved.
