Yesterday's Revenge

In a world still trembling from centuries of endless wars—mechanical onslaughts, aerial bombardments, and the final, grim “Peace of Fear”—humanity clings to rebuilt cities while the very ground still hums with the echo of past hatred. At the apex of this fragile order stands the Master, a former war hero turned dictator, whose grip is enforced by autonomous robots that patrol the skies and crush any spark of rebellion. From his glass‑walled citadel, the Serene Tower, he watches a glittering network of factories and sky‑ships churn outward, convinced that his absolute control can finally silence the lingering chaos.

Yet even within the immaculate Room of Power, where humming engines and telepathic controls promise invincibility, the Master feels a cold, unfamiliar fear. A summons arrives from the secretive Capitol Mecho‑lab: a demonstration of a mysterious Time Visor that could reshape what is possible. As the Master debates the offer, hidden forces gather in the shadows, ready to test whether the ruler’s iron grasp can survive the first true challenge to his reign.
