A year later, the world was no longer the same.

Disaster struck when The nation of United Estoria launched a devastating, unprovoked bombing campaign on its smaller neighbor, The United Sovereignty of Northland.

The attack was swift and brutal, sparking a global panic, teetering on the brink of a third world war.

The United Sovereignty of Northland immediately called upon its allies and the world's major powers for aid. But the response was a chilling silence.

Desperate and facing annihilation, the government of Northland made a unprecedented decision. They turned away from the halls of global power and toward the private sector.

They turned to the Sullivan Group.

Barry was summoned to the penthouse of his own corporate headquarters by his wife, Veronica.

The air was thick with tension when he entered the private chamber, lined with guards in muted armor. At the far end of the table, a man rose quickly to his feet—the Northland ambassador.

The ambassador bowed so deeply it looked

  • The ancestral rock

    Barry paced the length of his private study, the crisp vellum of the letter rustling softly in his hand. His eyes scanned the same lines over and over again, as though each reread might change their meaning, might erase the dreadful words behind Hikaru Yamamoto’s neat handwriting. The silence of the room pressed down on him, broken only by the faint rustle of the paper as he turned it over in his fingers.The door opened and Veronica reappeared, her silhouette framed in the soft light from the hallway. "The bath is ready, darling," she said softly.Barry didn't respond. He stopped his pacing and sank heavily into a high-backed leather chair, the letter falling to his lap. He dragged a hand slowly down his face, exhaling deeply as though trying to steady the thoughts raging inside him.Veronica approached, her brow furrowed with concern. She knelt beside his chair, placing a gentle hand on his arm. "Barry? What's going on? You've been reading that letter for over thirty minutes. Wh

  • The letter

    The news of Estoria’s humiliation rippled across the globe like a storm surge.At first, the reports seemed unbelievable—bombs detonating in the sky before they ever reached Northland’s soil, and the ominous broadcasts of a masked figure who called himself Number One.The world wasn't ready for such an unexpected twist of events.The Order, which had long been dismissed and disregarded, had suddenly returned with terrifying force. And this new leader wasn’t simply another bureaucrat. He was backed by something no nation could claim: a demon of country-shattering power.The words spread in hushed tones among minsters and senators in their parliaments all over the world:“He commands a demon stronger than ten nuclear warheads. We will have to watch our ways not to attract the Order's attention.”“They say the creature bent reality itself to shield Northland from missile onslaughts. We can't risk provoking the Order.”“Estoria’s bombs never even touched the ground. This Number One is da

  • Negotiation

    The Prime Minister slowly lowered his hand. “I… I don’t understand,” he stammered, looking from the masked figure to Karr. “How is he here? In our country? In this very room?”Karr, his cheek still burning from the slap, spoke with a hollow, defeated tone. “It’s a long story. Look, I made a terrible mistake. I underestimated the Order. They are… they are just as powerful as you claimed. More powerful than anyone I've ever seen.”The Prime Minister’s eyebrows shot up in shock. “Really? Just hours ago, you called them a ‘myth politicians use to scare each other.’”“I was proven wrong today,” Karr admitted, the words tasting like poison in his mouth. He gestured weakly toward Sebastian, who stood silently beside Barry. “See that man? The butler? He’s not a man. He’s… a demon.”A collective, sharp gasp escaped from the assembled ministers and advisors. They stared at Sebastian, their minds rejecting the claim.“He erected a dome-like barrier,” Karr continued. “It's like an invisible wall

  • The defeated general

    The soldiers’ grips tightened on Karr’s arms as they shoved him down until his knees struck the dust. He forced himself to look up, eyes wide with confusion. “Is that really you?” he demanded, his voice raw and brittle. "Number One!"Barry’s masked head tilted. “I am Number One,” the voice answered, calm and raw with iron. “I’m sure you’ve heard about me.”Karr's lips felt parched. “I don’t understand. You infiltrated Estoria all this time? Our defenses are strong. You couldn’t have slipped through without me noticing.”Barry spread his arms. “As I mentioned earlier from the video, General Karr—the Order’s influence is absolute. Do not ever think for a second you are invisible. I am ten steps ahead of you.”Suddenly, Sebastian appeared out of nowhere like a ghost, startling the general. He bowed respectfully before Barry.“It is done, Master,” Sebastian said smoothly. “The entire country of Northland is enclosed in my protective barrier. Not one bomb will pass through.”Karr’s mouth

  • The invisible dome

    Inside the parliamentary chamber, the grim silence left by the video was shattered by an aide bursting in, his face ashen.“Sir! We’re receiving confirmed reports from tracking stations! General Karr has bypassed the chain of command! The bombers have been launched! They’re en route to Northland!”A collective, sharp intake of breath sucked the air from the room. Every minister, every advisor, stiffened in their seats, their faces filled with raw horror. The warning from ‘Number One’ was less than ten minutes old, and Karr had already lit the fuse.The Prime Minister jumped to his feet so fast his chair screeched back. “That bastard!” he swore under his breath . “Karr! He actually went through with it!” His voice rose to a shout. “Someone stop him! He can’t have gotten far! Secure the building!”Pandemonium erupted. Ministers and guards scrambled towards the main doors, only to find them immovable. They pulled and pushed, their efforts growing increasingly frantic. “They’re locked

  • Bluff

    General Karr’s laugh was short and ugly, shattering the silence in the room. All eyes turned to him as he stepped forward.“Empty threats,” he snapped. “Why should we listen to some man in a mask claiming to be head of the Order? Do you think his words can stop bombs falling? We started this campaign for a reason.” He squared his shoulders as if to physically hold the room together. “Northland is weak. The Red Valley will secure our energy future for decades. This is an opportunity of a lifetime—one we cannot afford to squander.”The prime minister’s face tightened. He did not answer at once; instead he folded his hands, looking around the chamber at the other ministers and advisers. “Karr,” he said finally, “this is more than a threat. The footage... those are not idle boasts. The Order’s message was very specific. They claim networks, holdings and reach. We cannot treat this as a mere bluff and move forward blindly.”Karr scoffed, leaning forward so his words cut the thin air. “Do
