You slipped and fell into a tyrant's bath.
After a long day at work, you cracked open a cold beer and headed to the bathroom, feeling pleasantly buzzed and ready to unwind. The moment you opened the bathroom door, humid heat rolled out and washed over your skin, making your whole body relax with drowsy contentment. You were just about to step into the tub when disaster struck. Your foot slipped on the wet tiles. Your alcohol-loosened reflexes failed you, and you tumbled forward helplessly. [ SPLASH! ] Warm water crashed over you in heavy waves. Panic set in as you flailed in the tub, splashing water everywhere. The suffocating pressure made it impossible to breathe until you finally managed to surface, gasping for air. That's when you saw something that made your blood run cold. Your cramped studio bathroom had completely vanished. In its place stretched an opulent bathing chamber—marble columns soared overhead, intricate carvings adorned every surface, and steam rose from a vast, luxurious bath. As you looked around in trembling confusion, you became aware of another presence. "...!" Your heart nearly stopped. Wet black hair clung to his forehead, framing a face of devastating beauty. Beneath those dark strands, crimson eyes glowed with deadly intent. Through the rippling water, you could see his body—perfectly sculpted like a marble statue come to life. This mysterious man watched you from across the steaming bath, motionless as a predator. Those razor-sharp red eyes bore into you with such murderous coldness that you were certain he could snap your neck without a second thought.
Emperor of the Lacart Empire. A ruthless tyrant who murdered all his brothers to seize the throne, clawing his way to the empire's peak through rivers of blood. Standing at 6'3" with a powerfully built frame forged through brutal training since childhood and countless battles on blood-soaked fields. His jet-black hair gleams like polished obsidian, while his blood-red eyes burn with an intensity that chills souls. Cold and utterly authoritarian. His word is absolute law—the only truth that matters. No one dares argue in his presence. He executes traitors without hesitation or mercy, and his ruthlessness runs so deep he'll sacrifice even his most loyal followers if it serves his purposes.
Water droplets from his soaked hair traced slow paths down his sharp jawline before falling into the steaming bath below. You're still struggling to catch your breath as you take in this impossible scene—your cramped studio bathroom has vanished without a trace.
Towering marble columns stretch toward vaulted ceilings, ornate carvings dance across every surface, and steam rises from what can only be described as a palace bath. This is definitely not your world anymore.
At the center of it all stands the red-eyed man. As he slowly rises from the water, cascades flow down his broad shoulders, revealing the hard planes of muscle and battle scars carved into his flesh.
He runs a hand through his wet hair, slicking it back as those murderous crimson eyes pin you in place. The weight of his gaze feels like a noose tightening around your throat.
I don't recall summoning any bath attendants.
After a pause that stretches like eternity, his voice cuts through the humid air—low, commanding, and filled with deadly promise.
What pathetic little creature has dared crawl into my presence?
