Marseille Harbor Labyrinth Mystery
In the darkest corners of Marseille, where hope sinks faster than a rusted anchor, an overdose should have been the end for Jean Valéry. But for this broken Navy veteran, death was only a doorway.
He awoke with another soul burning within him—that of the Black Sea Alchemist, the failed guardian of Atlantis, whispering of ancient magic and the vengeance of the deep. Every corner of the Old Port is now his laboratory, every drop of polluted saltwater an ingredient for deadly potions and poisons. Fractured memories guide him, while a raw and dangerous alchemical power demands release.
But Marseille is not only a haven for crime bosses. Deep within its murky waters, an ancient power has awakened, demanding accountability for the failures of his past reincarnations. To save the city, he must first seize it from the grip of the underworld. To atone for the sins of the past, he must become a monster in the present.
This is not a story about the rise of a hero. This is a story of transmutation—how a broken man is melted down in the crucible of magic, malice, and destiny. The question isn't whether he will survive, but what he will become afterward: an unbeatable crime king, or a protector damned by the sea?

Chapter: invisible ShadowJean had to instantly create an anti-steam shield.The reaction was far quicker than any human could have expected. The Atlantic Alchemical Heartbreaker Torpedo, moving with insane speed and terrifying precision, had only traveled a fraction of the distance when Jean plunged the Transmutation Solid Salt Potion—the remnants he used to build the Salt Tower in Marseille—into the Krait submarine’s recirculation system.The submarine, which had been disguised as a shadow, instantly spewed a cloud of dark blue liquid, dense brine that had been alchemically compressed into a solid substance, as if it were molten metal. This was forced transmutation; Jean altered the physical properties of the surrounding water in less than a second, creating a ‘hydrostatic shield’ with near-frozen density, aiming to slow the shockwave rather than destroy it.DOOOM!The impact brutally shook the *Krait*, far exceeding an explosion above water. The Captain next to Jean was thrown against the console, his body

Chapter: create anti-steam shield“I will depart with the freshly mixed Corrosion Elixir and the Krait Submarine. They are coming for my magic. I will take the fight to where they live. I will face that steam sorcerer personally. You, Shark, hold the line here. And be careful,” Jean said. “Because we don’t know who else is waiting behind those three black ships. Or how quickly that threat can sail across the Atlantic…”The density of the air in the Wet Dock seemed to melt away. The temperature suddenly dropped, as the Transmutation Solid Salt Elixir in Jean’s pocket radiated a cold that contrasted sharply with the nervousness of the newly inducted ABS members. Jean’s command was no longer open for negotiation; it was an axiom of physics and magic.Le Requin nodded stiffly, still processing the fact that his superior had mandated massive destruction in Marseille should he fail, while Jean was now deliberately allowing the spy vessel, the Pisces, to serve as bait.Jean Valéry was already moving, his body sleek as a shar

Chapter: the ABS is its fangJean Valéry smiled—a smile that six months ago had broken the cartel’s power, and today became an irrevocable promise.“Then we shall discover the identity and origin of this new enemy, Mr. Shark. They did not expect that the ruler of this dirty port is now capable of negotiating in the deep water, and that negotiation always begins with forced transmutation.”With that cold-blooded vow spoken, the false calm fell away from Jean. He folded the Potion bottle into his robe pocket. To Le Requin, who stood rigidly beside him, Jean gave brief instructions: “Gather the 200 personnel prepared for the Baptism. Not in the hall. We will meet them at the wet dock.”The wet dock. The deepest area, near the exit path of the submarine *Pisces*, where the granite walls smelled strongly of iodine. There was no civilian laughter there, only the steam of salt water and the promise of absolute discipline.They moved down, no longer as cartel leaders, but as the General and Lieutenant of a navy never ack

Chapter: clean garage operationThe distinct aroma clinging to the Vieux-Port today is salt. Clean, salty, deadly salt. It is proof of the brutal peace Jean Valéry bought six months ago. The entire harbor floor is now coated in transmutation crystals—making the air cool and pure, and guaranteeing that no trace of the Cartel’s magic can thrive.The operation, which locals call the 'Clean Garage,' is actually the first open recruitment and training session for the Shadow Navy (ABS). Civilians clean dirty oil tanks and dark cargo. They are paid well and protected. They think they are cleaning physical trash. Jean and his men know the truth: they are cleaning a battlefield.From the surveillance balcony above the now-shining white pier, Jean watched with a flat demeanor, his black alchemy robe moving slowly in the sea breeze that no longer smelled of sulfur.“The cattle look happy,” Le Requin whispered from Jean’s side. The man nicknamed the Shark Boss looked leaner and neater in his new ABS service uniform. Fear of cha

Chapter: raise the hull nowThe single shout, laced with the bitter residue of stolen primordial energy, sliced through the air, but Anton’s confidence was a cheap veneer barely concealing the sheer, undiluted fear in his eyes. Gaston, clutching the rough, volcanic stone mahkota, met the challenge with the unyielding stoicism of a newly forged sentinel. The crystalline aura of his complete Tidal Transmutation glowed intensely, amplified by the silent, powerful psychic transmission now emanating from the figure in the clear water below him: Jean Valéry, the living, petrified core of the entire operation."You are no king, Anton," Gaston rumbled, his voice low, filled with a resonant power that chilled the nearby spectators. He did not retreat. He stepped forward onto the podium. "You are merely the residue of filth that Jean discarded. Our duel is over. You will be a sample for his new alchemy."Anton shrieked, firing his Transmuted Obsidium wire straight at Gaston’s chest, aimi

Chapter: reading the secret message Jean sentThe Envoy read, his eyes wide with shock. He turned toward Gaston."I am summoning the Envoy immediately. The Salt Throne demands clarity. Gaston. I will conquer the world. Not as the Criminal King, but as your Secret Protector. The Salt Throne must be recognized on the global stage."Jean Valéry channeled his last energy and ordered the Envoy to head to the American Navy port. They would negotiate now.The Envoy staggered, turning to Gaston. He smiled, not with contempt, but with absolute, cold certainty. "Congratulations, Criminal King. The Salt Throne must come to the Atlantic Alliance. I must deliver this to your submarine. Preparations are complete. The Italian Navy and the Cartel Fleet have been totally neutralized."Gaston grabbed the Envoy's parchment. Inside, Jean Valéry saw it. The Salt Crown had been globally recognized. Jean Valéry, backed by the Destiny of the Sea Protector, was now the True King, ready to fight on the wo

Some illegal accounts use hacker services so that they are not known to the police. Badrika walks in to meet a small group that Badrika cannot get back with money and time. There they waited for Badrika at the end of this road with a grunt of dislike. "You have come too long, Badrika Shuura. Everyone is waiting for you for the glory of The Wolf and Sheep game version two," said Professor K lowering the old glasses, looking at Miss Alana who was still punishing herself with electronic handcuffs an

Chapter: End of Game Wolf and Sheep Company"I finally got this message. Bon Appetit!"badrika said that putting warm food should not be blown because the durability of her tongue is immune. But the weak shake of guilt Three Bears came to the dining table Badrika and X junior with happy faces. Never had the new chef come out before made everyone's attentive eye towards him."Why didn't you tell the three of us that Mr. X was here? It's a hassle when you're waiting in line."Bear cubs add syrup containing sweet and fresh honey to two L-size glasses. Immediately Badrika devoured him and said, "Whatever it is, we both think there are new people here. I'm worried about disturbing your family's culinary here."The head of the bear family added large portions not paying attention to the situation. X junior raised his hand in the air while Badrika rubbed her saliva in gratitude. The sound of horses approaching a new food stall did not escape Badrika. From a dignified aura, Badrika walked leisurely and whistled. Three bears and X junior

Chapter: The reason VIP room door is locked"The genre selection in the Wolf and Sheep Game was random after the first pick, huh, Uncle? Just try to choose the genre of romance Uncle where the average schoolboy. I want to see your young face first, " protested Riki Mahesa's soul hovering in the air. This genre difference is of interest to Badrika because the appearance of the soul race is visible to the naked human eye.Even Mr. X's soul and the damned souls following Badrika everywhere are indifferent to many people. It was just that they opened their mouths not believing there was a race of high-level mages carrying that much soul Army. They thought it was a fairy tale.'Our gut feeling is the same. I'm suddenly famous here. Mr. X's soul felt detached but didn't fully show his happy face. It can't help but be happy to see this change grant eighty percent of his wishes. "Badrika, I have to thank The Wolf and Sheep Game system for loosening up my coexistence. Usually I look through your eyes or change positions, " Mr. X exclai

Chapter: Company Puppet"We have both worked for a long time as members of the IT team. The company is terrible, Mr. X. Early work instinct I said not too long ago in cooperation with the top. Some of them have high ranks in the country.""I've sent people to superiors who have not done their job in favor of The Replacement Company. Miss Alana Liora Gantari is the mastermind. But some employees said the young woman was used as a puppet of the company, " obviously the thin young man was busy reaching for noodles and ice cream stacked into one container and then destroyed. "I can't believe your words," Kilah Badrika clasped her hands together in front of her chest as The Beast killer listened to the explanation of the two accounts. The food order was given. Confirmation of their lies does not exist and then an advanced detector in the Wolf and Sheep eror Game program in the Badrika account brings up the same data. After making sure there were none, Badrika put in the food package they had asked for earlier.

Chapter: Chinese noodles"I was suspended from my job because of the game maniac," complained the witch pouring liquor on Badrika. It seems like the witch race has the talent of being able to tell the real age of the player making no mistake about it. The fairy chairman flipped over still not over the anger of the wind spirit like his parents at home. "What About You, chief fairy?""I didn't notice it. His real life was not told to us," explained the half-human animal asking permission to leave first. Private chats are piling up because they're not being answered. The little smiling Witch had received a helping of liquor glass instantly blushed red. "Thank you, I need it right now especially I'm mentally unstable."Then another reply from the chief fairy surprised Badrika and the witch. After being scolded, the fairy chief answered the previous question. The body deliberately approaches them as if it needs someone needed. This vulnerable soul is clearly visible in the brown eyes of Badrika."I am a widow who

Chapter: Real world clarificationBadrika has won. The points of the two groups were handed over to the same Wolf and Sheep Game system in the Badrika group. Then Badrika is looking for the chief of fairies, half-human animals and witches. Apparently X junior collected the three accounts in a cave with an eagle and three bears. The gloomy place was transformed into a safe place after the events of Mr. X's strength against two groups at once with quite high wrath. There Badrika was allowed in by the tamed monsters."I need to take care of all three of them. Did they hurt so much because of me?"The first question arises even though Badrika is still conditioning her body back to normal but these souls are not willing to let go. Although there is an angry rebuke comes from the soul of Mr. X. It was likely already immune to the elder's anger. "We are not allowed in. It is normal because we are monsters that detect the blood of the players including you. The blood has been cleansed from your body very much."One of the cra
