Zenchi, self-proclaimed “the Clairvoyant”

The period preceding the beginning of the Chaos War had seen an Emperor rise to power in each of the five great lands.

The land of the Water element, despite being renowned for its wisdom, had not been an exception.

Zenchi, who had self-proclaimed himself “the Clairvoyant”, had been immersed in the circles of power from a very young age and had quickly adapted to the games of influence and power that took place during verbal battles.

Even without possessing true knowledge, he had developed a talent with words that allowed him to make his audience believe that he was a true expert.

This was why he had given himself this title, in order to further establish in the minds of the Water Espers that he possessed legitimacy.

Little by little, he had become an unavoidable figure in the daily lives of the Water land, and the name Zenchi the Clairvoyant sounded more and more natural to the people, who had eventually begun to accept his words without ever questioning them.

His appearances in public squares gathered hysterical crowds who chanted his name. A true cult of his personality had gradually replaced education and critical thinking.

The connections Zenchi had been able to benefit from since his youth had allowed him to gradually eliminate the individuals who tried to expose the inconsistencies in his words.

Zenchi, the Clairvoyant, had become the Emperor of the Water land.
