The attack didn’t come with guns or bombs. It came quietly, like a virus in the dark. One moment, the world’s financial systems were ticking along, people making transactions, governments paying salaries, families sending money across continents. The next moment, the screens went blank. Banks froze. Stock markets collapsed in real time. Panic spread faster than wildfire.Benjamin stood in the command center, eyes fixed on the endless streams of data pouring in. Numbers didn’t lie. Trillions of dollars were vanishing from circulation, re-routed, erased, or locked behind invisible walls of code. People couldn’t access their savings. Companies couldn’t pay workers. Governments couldn’t stabilize currencies.Emily was right beside him, her presence steady. She leaned close and whispered, “This is them. The shadow council. They couldn’t win with violence, so they’re trying to break trust.”Benjamin nodded. “They want people to believe I can’t protect them. If the world loses faith in me, e

The names on the screen didn’t fade away. They glowed like firebrands, impossible to ignore. Benjamin stood in silence as his team scrolled through the list. Each name carried weight, like stones dropped into still water, rippling across every nation.Emily was beside him, her face pale as she read. “This… this can’t be right. These are people the world trusts.”And she wasn’t exaggerating. The names weren’t just old warlords or greedy bankers hiding in the dark. No, these were household names. Men and women who had built reputations as philanthropists, innovators, and even peacekeepers. People who donated billions to charity, appeared on magazine covers with smiles of compassion, and were celebrated as saviors of the broken world.Yet here they were.Linked directly to the shadow council.“They profited from chaos,” Benjamin said quietly, his voice heavy. “They pretended to heal the world while secretly feeding on its wounds.”The room was dead silent. His advisors, engineers, and ge

The storm after Elias Korrin’s fall had not fully calmed when Benjamin realized the game had changed.The shadow council wasn’t just sitting in the dark, twiddling their fingers. They were adapting, moving silently, redirecting money, twisting narratives, and pulling strings in places most people didn’t even realize existed.They weren’t soldiers to fight with weapons. They were chess masters, and if Benjamin wanted to win, he had to sit at the same board.Emily walked into his office one late evening, finding him staring at maps and reports pinned across the wall.“Still working?” she asked softly.Benjamin didn’t even look up. “Always.”Emily stepped closer, her hand brushing against his shoulder. “What’s the plan this time?”He exhaled deeply. “No battles. No armies. This time… It’s chess. If I hit them head-on, they’ll hide behind the illusions they’ve built. I need to corner them where they can’t run.”Emily tilted her head. “And how do you plan to do that?”Benjamin finally turn

The shadow council had been losing ground for months.Benjamin had outmaneuvered them politically. Emily had softened kings, presidents, and ordinary people, winning hearts in ways strategy never could. Slowly but surely, their power had been shrinking. And desperate people, when they have no more cards to play, will do anything.That’s when they reached for something no one thought they would touch again.The systemic flaw.It was supposed to be gone. Benjamin had beaten it, reshaped the world, and cut its influence away like a surgeon removing a tumor. But just like a sickness leaves behind scars in the body, the flaw had left behind remnants. Fragments. Small traces in systems, in minds, in the cracks of society.The shadow council found those remnants. And they turned them into a weapon.It started quietly.In the heart of New Vienna, one of the largest cities in the world, people began to act… strangely. At first, it looked like small bursts of road rage, fights in grocery stores
Chapter 127
The city of New Vienna was still healing.Broken glass littered the streets. Burnt-out cars lined the avenues like forgotten relics of chaos. Families swept debris from the steps of their homes, children clung to parents, and small shops reopened with shaky hands and hopeful hearts. The scars of the shadow council’s madness were everywhere, but so too was the proof of survival.And in the middle of that healing stood Benjamin and Emily Moore. They weren’t just leaders anymore. They weren’t just public figures. To the people, they were a symbol. Two people, standing hand in hand, facing everything together.Benjamin never thought his personal life would become part of the world’s story. For so long, he had kept it locked away. Love was a distraction, he used to tell himself. Attachments were weaknesses, things enemies could exploit. But now, after everything, he realized that love wasn’t a weakness. It was a weapon.Not the kind that destroyed, but the kind that endured.Everywhere th

The days had finally begun to feel ordinary again.That was the gift Benjamin cherished most. For so many years his life had been battles, speeches, negotiations, councils, and endless nights staring at maps of the world’s problems. Now, for the first time in what felt like forever, he could wake up to sunlight streaming across a simple kitchen floor and feel at peace.Emily was the reason.Their home was not a palace. It wasn’t the glass tower of the council hall. It was a house which was warm, quiet, and tucked away in a corner of New Vienna. The walls were painted a soft cream, the furniture was cozy, and the kitchen always smelled faintly of coffee and fresh bread because Emily had made it a habit to bake at least once a week.Benjamin loved that.He loved walking into the kitchen and finding her at the counter, hair tied back, hands dusted with flour, humming some little tune as she worked.“You know,” he said one morning, leaning on the doorframe, “the world thinks we live like
Chapter 129
The world looked peaceful on the surface. Cities were rebuilding, trade was flowing again, and families were starting fresh in places that had once been battlegrounds. Benjamin would sometimes walk through the streets of New Vienna, listening to the laughter of children, the chatter of shopkeepers, the music spilling from open windows, and think: We’ve made it.But peace, he was learning, was not just about what you could see.It was about what you could not see.And that was where the problem began.The shadow council was gone. Their schemes had collapsed, their names exposed, their power dismantled. But in the weeks that followed, something strange began to stir. Benjamin’s advisors brought him reports from all over the world, small but disturbing patterns.A mayor in South America suddenly declared that democracy was “too slow” and needed to be replaced with “strong rule.” A respected scientist in Europe is twisting research to say humans were “naturally violent and selfish,” and
Chapter 130
The reports started small.A series of strange speeches in a small city. A community leader who once spoke of unity now telling people that peace was a lie. A man who had once been admired for his fairness suddenly pushed neighbors against each other, whispering that compromise was weakness.Benjamin’s council dismissed it at first. “Just one man with an opinion,” someone said.But Benjamin felt it in his bones. He had learned to recognize the subtle pull of the shadow. It wasn’t just an opinion. It was corruption.The man’s name was Daniel Cross.He wasn’t famous. He wasn’t rich. He wasn’t a soldier or a politician. He was, in many ways, an ordinary man, once a schoolteacher, a husband, a father of two. People in his community respected him because he always seemed calm, reasonable, steady.But now, when he spoke, his words carried a poison.“Peace is weakness,” he told a group gathered in a public square. His voice was low, persuasive, almost soothing. “Humans need struggle. Without

Benjamin had faced armies before.He had stood against machines that towered over cities. He had held relics of power in his hands and felt their strength burn through his veins.But now, none of it mattered.The shadow wasn’t something he could blast apart. It wasn’t something he could push back with fire or lightning. Weapons had no effect. Walls had no meaning.Because this was not a war of bodies. It was a war of minds.Benjamin sat at his desk, staring at the reports. Each one told the same story. People whispering strange ideas, neighbors turning on each other, communities breaking apart not because of hunger or violence, but because of words.It was like a sickness of thought. And the shadow fed it, spreading faster than any plague.Emily entered quietly, carrying a folder. She placed it on the table, but didn’t speak. She simply stood there, waiting.Benjamin sighed and rubbed his temples. “It’s everywhere now. Not just Daniel. Others are rising. Each one convinced chaos is

The shadow was clever. It didn’t always roar. Most of the time, it whispered.And when it whispered, it found the quiet corners of people’s hearts, their fears, their regrets, their loneliness. That was where it grew. That was where it spread.Benjamin could face armies. He could rally nations. He could speak truth like fire.But there was something he couldn’t always do. He couldn’t sit in the silence of someone’s pain and make them feel seen. Not the way Emily could.It started in a small town.The people there were restless. They had once cheered for Benjamin, but now the whispers of the shadow made them doubt. Rumors spread that Benjamin was too powerful, he wanted control, he was no different from the tyrants before him.When Benjamin arrived, they listened, but not with open hearts. Their eyes were cold, suspicious.And then Emily stepped forward.She didn’t stand on a platform. She didn’t speak like a leader. She simply walked into the crowd, smiled softly, and asked, “Can I si
