The Sacrificial Empire

In a dying empire where reality unravels into nightmare, a desperate young man strikes a bargain with an ancient cosmic power to protect his last remaining family. He receives a blasphemous text—a blueprint for forging a new world order where governance itself is the ultimate dark ritual. He will build an empire where every law is a prayer, every war a blood sacrifice, and every city a sigil in a century-long ceremony to summon a slumbering god. With each step up the ladder of power, he must pay with his own sanity, battling both rival powers and the encroaching madness within. Can he save humanity by transforming it into the perfect offering, or will he lose his own soul to the abyss first?
