Chapter 1: When Dawn Breaks//STAGE 1
—The Empire of Britannia controls majority of the world, and the myriad of precious resources within its borders.
—But the Emperor, with his unknown motives, urges on the endless march and expansion of his dominion. To this end, the Empire has increased its foothold in Asia and its many states, with increased military presence along their borders, practically waiting outside their doors. As an easily forseeable consequence of their expansionist policies, Britannia intentionally worsens tensions and becomes increasingly aggressive in its behavior against any asian state that is not yet under their foothold.
—The Empire's stance against the Philippines and Vietnam worsens with each passing month. While time passes, increasingly more suggestive propaganda painting them as an enemy enters every form or media. It is only a matter of time before Britannia stakes its hold in these countries, and turns them into territories of their Dominion.

"…Hey Ashley, which one do you like?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Sitting against one of the towering walls inside the swimming pool area of the school, the two boys converse, while watching the girls swim.
The one with long black hair and light pink eyes stares down his friend, before giving an unserious glare.
"…Brynn, do you… always have girls on your mind…? Shouldn't you be more worried about our English exam next period?"
Brynn's eyes were half-lidded, nearly the same as some simple creature, completely incapable of any higher thought. His eyelids widen after a long silence, he put his hands on his cheeks, his mouth agape in an oval shape. Closing his mouth, Brynn's expression stiffens, then he quietly whispers:
"Oh… crap… that's right…"
Poking Brynn's cheek with his index finger, Ashley's eyebrow twitches, and he sternly yet flatly states:
"…You're a real pervert, all the way down to your bones… ain'cha."
