Great start! Way to set up the tragedy of the main character, excited for him to show them who’s boss and become a big league. I like how you introduced the mysterious being right before chapter end to keep us wanting more!
author, just a tip for the next time, try to make the background explaination a tiny bit longer, 3 or 4 paragraphs, it was a huge wiphlash to go from nothing to his dad is dead, the emperess and emporer did it.
