10. Reign Protocol
Location: Kai’s secure compound, hidden between Dubai and the Empty Quarter. Time Since Crownfall: 52 hours. Genesis Ledger Status: Online, full access granted.The team gathers inside Kai’s underground war room. On a floating holo-screen, the Genesis Ledger Interface.Oracle explains, “This is the real financial system. Not the banks, not the digital markets. This is the web that controls sovereignty itself. Every shadow treaty. Every off-record transfer. Every true owner is behind governments.”It shows hidden wealth pipelines. Entire nations funded by 4 people. Military regimes with puppet masters never named. Even Ash’s Nest only saw 38% of it.Nova, “You could crash every economy. Or reassign every throne.”Kai stares at the blinking command prompt: ‘Begin Reign Protocol: [Y/N]’They argue. Nova says rebuilding the system is the only way to bring justice. Thorne says burning it all is the only way to erase the cycle.Oracle stays silent, watching Kai with a look that hides fear.
9. Red Markets
“The first phase of every empire’s fall begins with silence. The silence of banks closing, networks freezing, and kings pretending nothing is wrong.” Thorne, Field Memoirs of a Ghost Asset.Location: Geneva, Switzerland. Scene: Global Wealth Crisis, 43 hours post-Crownfall.It had started. Crypto exchanges freeze. Stock markets drop 30% in 12 minutes. Biometric wallets lock globally. The world's elite scramble for answers. But no one can trace the source. No one… except Kai.Nova hacks the last node inside Ash’s corrupted Crownfall terminal.Coordinates flash: Zurich, Mumbai, Lagos, Seoul, and the Everhart Reserve. “It’s a cascade attack,” Nova whispers. “A digital guillotine. He’s cutting the financial head off the planet.”Oracle, still recovering but conscious, decrypts the countdown logic. Ash had embedded sleeper malware in every ultra-wealth financial institution using Lazarus shell corporations. “If triggered, the system will destroy digital wealth records. Freeze sovereign tr
8. The Nest
"Only the unbroken can be programmed. The broken must first be erased." The Nest’s Codex, Entry 0001.Location: Blacksite Coordinates, The Ural Mountains, Russia. Temperature: -22°C. Access Level: Red-Class Only.For years, The Nest was dismissed as legend. An underground fortress where Lazarus trained child operatives into Firstborn enforcers. No satellite found it. No survivor left it.Until now. The Oracle pointed Kai to it, and Kai was ready.…In her room at the Everhart estate, Oracle lay pale and wired to neural stabilizers. Her voice was thin, but clear. “You won’t win by killing Ash. You win by understanding who made him.”Kai leaned in. “And who’s that?”She looked at him, eyes shining violet in the dark. “You are.” Then she passed out again.Kai, Nova, and Thorne traveled by stealth jet. The Nest was buried in an old nuclear bunker, protected by cryo-mines and biometric traps.They entered through a cave rigged with ancient motion detectors. Even the air felt coded.This w
7. The Blood Auction
"Every empire has a price. But some things aren’t sold, they’re unleashed." Lazarus Codex, Vol. II.Location: Undisclosed Subterranean Bazaar, Istanbul, Midnight. No maps. No signs. No law.You don’t find the Blood Auction. You’re either invited…Or you're hunted until you wish you were never born.Kai Everhart had just received an invitation. Gilded. Coded. Delivered by a man missing two fingers and his tongue.On it: Item #77: Asset Sample, Ash. Gene Class: Firstborn – Omega Tier. Status: Active. Threat: Uncontained.Kai didn’t breathe when he read the last line, “Opening bid: $8,000,000 in weapons grade crypto. Buyer receives a full Lazarus file + genome sample.”If that sample was real, the entire world could replicate Ash. Or worse, build more.The Blood Auction was held beneath an abandoned Ottoman crypt. Torch-lit walls. Vaulted stone ceilings. The scent of incense and iron.Guards in suits and ceremonial bone masks lined the walkways. High rollers sat in private booths behind o
6. The Firstborn Files
3:46 a.m., Secure Archive Room, Everhart Estate. Kai stood before a reinforced door deep beneath the mansion, a vault that even Thorne hadn’t been allowed to access. Until now.After the gala attack and the chilling message, “LONG LIVE THE FIRSTBORN,” he needed answers.And Lucian’s old biometrics, now mirrored in Kai, finally unlocked them. Inside, a room of obsidian shelves, cryo-sealed drawers, encrypted books, and one chair.On the center table, a single briefcase. Code: L-00X19.Thorne hovered nearby. “What is this?”Kai opened it. Inside was a faded dossier. Leather-bound. Stamped with the Lazarus crest.Title: THE FIRSTBORN PROJECTThe Firstborn weren’t just a myth. They were failures. Or so Everhart had claimed.An experimental division buried decades ago, created to manufacture loyalty through bio-engineered lineage.Lucian’s obsession. Creating heirs with selective genetic enhancements. Intelligence boosts. Accelerated healing. Emotional suppression.Lazarus wasn’t just a pr
5. The Council of Wolves
The Everhart boardroom felt colder than usual. Not physically, spiritually.Thorne stood to Kai’s right like a shadow given form, while Dr. Vael watched silently from the corner, pen already dancing across her notepad.Twelve chairs surrounded the obsidian table. One now belonged to Kai. Eleven others were occupied by the Board , a collection of power brokers, empire-builders, and apex predators. Most of them were old. Well they were all together dangerous. Each held just enough power to be useful… and just enough ambition to be fatal.Valencia Calderón entered last. She wore red, always red, with lips to match. Her eyes flicked across the room, then landed on Kai.She smiled like someone who had tried to slit your throat and now wanted to toast to it. “Mr. Everhart,” she purred. “So glad to see you... intact.”Kai said nothing. Thorne slid a sleek black box in front of him. The chip recovered from the attacker.Kai pressed a button. Valencia’s own voice filled the room, “Strike befo
