Emperor's Chess Game

ShortMax5 Free Episodes

My name is Kyle. What the world doesn't know: that alien fleet hanging over the moon? It's mine. Those cold, silent commanders who won't even speak to the United Nations? I created them. The message on every screen—"Looking for the leader"—the world thinks it's a declaration of war. It's not. They're looking for me. I used to rule the galaxy. Now I'm the most wanted person on Blue Star. To protect this planet, I must reconnect with my battleship. But the cost of proving it? I can never be Kyle again.
