Jasmine sat silently in the back seat of the taxi, her hands gripping her phone tightly. Tears streamed endlessly, soaking her cheeks that had already turned cold from the night air slipping through the crack in the window. Streetlights flickered past outside, casting fast-moving shadows across her face.

She truly didn’t know where to go.

Her phone screen lit up—Thom’s name displayed there. Her fingers trembled, hovering over the call button… then pulling back again. Her heart was at war.

    The President smiled faintly before immediately turning toward his aide with an angry expression."Why haven't you prepared anything? Why did you let such an important guest enter without proper arrangements? Hurry, prepare a meal!"The aide rushed out of the room.The President walked toward Thom with a bright smile."I'm so glad you've returned to Eunosia, Thom. Truly glad. All this time, I—""I know," Thom interrupted coldly. "You haven't been able to sleep since I left."The President fell silent.Thom stepped closer. "Oh, more precisely, since Eunosia drove me away. Since you chose to support the Golden Circle instead of protecting me."The President's face flushed with shame. He lowered his head."I... I know I made a mistake. I thought they would help, but instead they abandoned me. They've been consuming Eunosia from within. I haven't slept a single night without thinking about what I did to you."Thom looked at him expressionlessly. "I didn't come here to visit you, Mr. Presi

    In Eunosia, inside the magnificent White House with its marble pillars and glittering crystal chandeliers, the President of Eunosia sat at his desk with a troubled expression.The dark circles beneath his eyes revealed countless sleepless nights. In front of him, stacks of economic reports and letters of protest from the people lay scattered like neglected trash.Since Thom Haye had been driven out of the state, Eunosia had not prospered. Investments had dried up. Public trust had collapsed. Crime had skyrocketed. The Golden Circle, which he had supported, was instead devouring his nation from within, taking over major businesses and making ordinary people suffer even more.The President stared blankly out the window.Below, the city of Eunosia, once dazzling and vibrant, now appeared dim. Many of the streetlights were out. The towering buildings stood like concrete corpses devoid of life."Any news from Thom?" he asked quietly to the aide standing beside him.The aide shook his head

    Baba Lug narrowed his eyes at the door that Amay had just closed.He let out a long sigh, then turned toward the shadow in the corner of the room. There stood a heavily built man with a face covered in scars, motionless as a statue. It was Yegaz, his most trusted confidant. The one who knew all his secrets. The one who never asked questions. The one who always obeyed."She's been acting strangely ever since she returned from Valemoor," Baba Lug said, his voice heavy with irritation. "Something has changed in her. I can feel it."Yegaz nodded slowly. "What would you like me to do, Baba?"Baba Lug took a deep drag from his pipe, holding the smoke in his lungs for a moment before slowly exhaling."Find out what Thom said to her. I don't believe that woman simply sat there listening to a negotiation proposal. Something happened in Valemoor. Something she hasn't told me.""Yes, Baba," Yegaz replied. "I'll investigate."Baba Lug nodded in satisfaction. He watched the smoke rising from his p

    A mercenary stood at the corner of the street, leaning against a wall while smoking. He did not notice the shadow behind him. A heated iron arrow shot out from the darkness, piercing his throat. There was no scream. Only a faint hissing sound as the hot metal burned through flesh. His body collapsed gently to the ground, caught by unseen hands to prevent any noise. Two other soldiers sat on the porch of a house. They were laughing. Divo emerged from behind the bushes with a machete drawn. One slash—the first man's throat opened in silence. Before the second man could react, Eclad's blade had already plunged into his chest. Not a single sound was heard. Inside Thom's house, the mercenary commander was still laughing as he poured himself some wine. He had no idea that outside, his two guards were already dead without a sound—their throats slit from behind, their bodies hidden among the bushes. Thom stood in the doorway. His machete was stained with blood. He knocked soft

    Night fell over Valemoor like a black shroud draped across the village’s wounds. There were no stars. No moon. Only smoke still rising from the ruins of burned houses and the scent of blood lingering in every corner of the land. The invading force now controlled the entire village. They patrolled streets that had once echoed with the laughter of children. They sat on the porches of homes whose owners now lay in mass graves. They laughed, drank, and divided the spoils of their plunder as though they were victors entitled to everything. Their automatic rifles rested against walls because they felt secure. There was no threat. No resistance. Valemoor had fallen. They were too confident. And that would become their greatest mistake. Hidden behind the bushes at the edge of the forest, Divo watched with narrowed eyes. He was one of the few surviving Nameless Army soldiers and had been assigned by Thom to act as a scout. Divo was small, agile, and capable of moving as silently as

    Bullets whistled overhead like mad bees that had lost their hive. The smell of gunpowder began to fill the once-fresh morning air, turning the Valemoor Valley into a miniature hell that echoed with screams and the roar of gunfire. Thom rolled behind the stone wall of the gate, pulling Pear and Elias with him. His breathing remained steady, but his eyes moved rapidly, assessing the situation. The two Nameless Army soldiers who had been dragging the three hostages were dead. Vigo, Rhen, and Kael—all three lay on the ground with holes in their heads, blood spreading across the soil that had only yesterday been drenched in happiness. Behind him, the gunfire grew heavier. And even more horrifying—the screams of the villagers. Thom turned toward the village. His eyes widened. The attacking force was not only surrounding the gate. They had entered from three sides, shooting at anyone who moved. Women ran while carrying their children. An elderly man collapsed in the middle of the r
