Jay Eziquiel a name which struck terror in the heats of many
-----
For the past 3 weaks Jay had been trying using a secret technique of the empiral Royal family
---
🌀 Imperial Heart Ascension Method
A forbidden royal technique, passed only through the blood of emperors. It strengthens not just mana, but will, body, and elemental mastery in harmony. Most die attempting it. Jay saw it as the bare minimum.
---
Week 1 – Heart Pulse Synchronization
Jay began by aligning his heartbeat with his mana flow, using meditation and elemental immersion. He soaked in freezing mana baths every night, forcing his body to adapt to extreme cold while maintaining perfect calm. His veins burned with pain, but by the seventh day, the mana pulsed smoothly with each heartbeat.
> 🔹 His control skyrocketed. His mana efficiency doubled.
🔹 He advanced to F-Rank with a stable core.
---
Week 2 – Tri-Core Harmonization
Jay now focused on balancing his Ice, Shadow, and Lightning elements. He trained under heavy gravity, split his consciousness into three, and fought shadow clones of himself.
By the end of the week, he could wield two elements at once—barely. He even crafted his first hybrid spell:
> 🌩️ Abyssal Frost Pulse – freezing dark energy laced with raw lightning.
> 🔹 With elemental harmony achieved, he broke into E-Rank.
---
Week 3 – Imperial Blood Awakening
The final test: surviving the Crownfire Crucible, a sealed furnace of clashing frost and flame. Jay endured three brutal days without rest, using willpower to stop his body from breaking apart. His heart stopped twice. But he came out alive—changed.
> 🔹 His royal bloodline awakened.
🔹 A glowing sigil burned on his chest.
🔹 His strength soared to D-Rank.

And the system responded.

✦ Combat Rank: D-Rank (Current Phase: Rapid Ascension)
---
Jay clenched his fist as the golden runes of his sigil flickered across his chest.
> Jay (Muttering):
"Why is this so hard..."
"I need to reach at least B-Rank..."
"And I'm barely even D-Rank."
Lightning coiled in his palm as determination burned in his eyes.
Two years wasn't long.
But for Jay Equiel?
It would be enough.
---
---
Chapter 14 – The Empire Beneath His Shadow
The training was complete.
Three long weeks of agony, precision, and evolution.
Jay Equiel had emerged not just stronger—but sharper, colder, and hungrier. D-Rank now, with the aura of something far beyond. His mana pulsed like a contained star.
And now... it was time to move.
---
⚔️ A Fitting Era Begins
Jay stood in the high strategy chamber within the Obsidian Bastion, the military compound now claimed by his faction. Across from him knelt Araya Vellor, his most trusted subordinate—former servant, now Baroness, and rising tactician of unmatched loyalty.
Around them, magical maps floated mid-air—highlighting resource lines, fortress positions, and new training sectors across the continent.
Araya raised her head, eyes calm and focused.
> Araya:
"We've restructured the Velvet Fangs into regional divisions.
The Iron Rose Battalion is being deployed to coastal cities,
and the Frost-Clad Sentinels will handle the north."
> "We've also begun integrating D- to B-rank mercenaries who've sworn loyalty oaths into localized garrisons."
> "Every city touched by your name is requesting an official outpost. You're not just a prince anymore, Jay. You're becoming the Empire's central military backbone."
Jay leaned against the cold steel table, arms crossed.
> Jay:
"Then we'll give them structure…
and remind them where power resides."
He looked at the glowing crest floating in the air—his newly minted military sigil. Three streaks: one of frost, one of shadow, one of thunder.
It had become a banner of fear and respect.
---
🏰 Empire-Wide Expansion Plan (Led by Araya)
Under Araya's coordination, the following was implemented:
Velvet Fangs – Female-led elite guard corps stationed in capitals.
Thunderbound Phalanx – Shock units utilizing enchanted lightning weapons forged in Jay's Vault.
Cryo-Wardens – Northern defense units trained directly under Jay's frost-style combat.
Nightstep League – Espionage division using shadow-based assassination and counter-infiltration tactics.
Within three months, 28 key provinces had formalized alliances under Jay's banner. Taxes, trade, military aid, and public loyalty all began shifting in his direction.
He wasn't fighting for the throne anymore.
He was becoming the throne.
---
💰 A Corporate Offer
As his power grew, it drew more than nobles and warlords.
Inside the obsidian meeting hall, Jay received envoys from Gildrex Holdings—one of the continent's wealthiest merchant conglomerates.
They were dressed in silk imbued with enchanted defense runes. Gold-rimmed scrolls floated behind them, listing their proposal.
The lead merchant bowed politely.
> Merchant:
"We offer 250 million imperial gold coins…
in exchange for twenty of your elite fighters to act as bodyguards for our trade fleets and merchant branches."
> "We'll cover all logistics and offer a 10% stake in our northern expansion."
Jay didn't blink.
> Jay (coldly):
"You're trying to lowball me."
> "My name alone triples your reach. My forces are worth more than cities. You don't want guards—you want reputation armor. And I don't offer that cheap."
He leaned forward, tone edged in steel.
> Jay:
"I want 1.2 billion gold—and a 40% controlling stake in every foreign market you touch."
The room fell silent.
The merchants whispered nervously, sweat forming despite the cool obsidian air. After frantic recalculations, the lead bowed again.
> Merchant:
"825 million... is our final counteroffer."
Jay's gaze was sharp as obsidian daggers.
> Jay:
"We'll see if your greed is worth gambling your entire business on."
> "Come back with 1 billion. And if I see you trying to play smart again… I'll replace you."
No threats. Just fact.
The Silent Reaper didn't need to raise his voice to cause tremors.
---
Absolutely. Here's the continuation where Jay finalizes the deal on his terms—cementing his economic power to match his military dominance.
---
💰 The Reaper's Price
The silence stretched—tension sharp enough to cut steel.
Jay stood still, expression unreadable, yet the air seemed to grow colder with every heartbeat. The lead merchant of Gildrex Holdings swallowed hard, aware they were now standing on the edge of ruin or revolution.
He bowed low again, almost kneeling.
> Merchant:
"One billion imperial gold coins... and 28% controlling stake in all foreign markets we expand into."
Jay didn't respond at first.
He simply turned to Araya, who stood beside him, arms behind her back like a royal advisor.
> Jay (quietly):
"Write the terms. Add a clause. Any breach? I bleed them dry."
> Araya (smiling):
"Already drafting the enforcement sigil, Your Highness."
Jay's gaze returned to the merchant.
> Jay:
"Deal."
> "But remember—this isn't a partnership.
It's a privilege… tied to my tolerance."
> "You benefit from my shadow. If you try to outgrow it, you'll learn why even light flees the night."
The merchant trembled, then nodded.
> "Understood. Completely."
---
Within hours, the deal was sealed with magical ink. The contract burned itself into twin scrolls—one for Jay, one for Gildrex. With his military influence and now a financial empire rising under his name, Jay Equiel was no longer a power to be measured.
He was a force to be acknowledged—by nobles, kingdoms, and economies alike.

Chapter 14 – The Black Citadel Rises
The ink on the Gildrex contract had barely dried, yet the 1 billion gold coins had already begun flowing into Jay's hidden accounts like a river blessed by fate.
He didn't waste a moment.
> "If they fear me alone, what happens when I forge a legion in my image?"
---
💰 The War Chest Opens
With 1 billion gold and 28% controlling stakes in foreign markets, Jay began his transformation of the continent—not through courts or crowns, but through power, presence, and precision.
His first masterpiece?
The Black Citadel.
A titanic military fortress nestled deep within the volcanic spires of the Deadfang Mountains—fortified by dragonstone, cloaked by mana storms, and warded with illusion arrays. It would serve as both headquarters and stronghold.
---
🏰 The Black Citadel – Warborn Capital
Funds Used: 735 million gold
Size: 31 km² walled fortress
Defenses: Obsidian Bastion Core (anti-divine siege)
Troop Housing: 30,000 soldiers
Elite Hall: "Shadowborn Division"
Labs: Relic crafting, magic-tech, warbeast gene studies
Training Fields: Mana arenas, gravity domes, live-monster combat
Vaults: Enchanted & forbidden relic containment
---
🛡️ Rise of the Shadowborn
Jay didn't gather just mercenaries—he recruited the monsters that society cast out.
207 A-Rank Adventurers
15 S-Rank Operatives
+700 Mercenaries, Assassins, and Rogue Mages
Ghost Units – Former royal spies, presumed dead
Three underground guilds merged into his cause
They came from failed knight orders, ruined noble lines, lost clans, and hidden strongholds.
He gave them one rule: Earn your place. Then protect it with blood.
---
🥋 Six Trials of the Abyss
Every new recruit faced Jay's personal combat doctrine:
1. Elemental Pressure Chambers – to break and reform their mana flow
2. Weaponless Martial Combat – Krav Maga, Taekwondo, Karate, close-quarters kill tactics
3. Mana-Body Synchronization – enhancing reflex, flexibility, and raw power
4. Live Monster Hunts – controlled raids on elite beasts
5. Siege & Urban Warfare – real-time capture simulations
6. Team Tactics Under Stress – impossible odds to forge loyalty through survival
---
> Jay's speech to the Shadowborn Legion:
"I'm not here to teach you how to fight. You already know how to survive."
"I'm here to sharpen that survival into precision. Into destruction."
"I don't want loyalty built on fear. I want loyalty built on pride—on legacy."
"You'll carry more than weapons. You'll carry my name. And when you march, kingdoms will hold their breath."
---
🦋 Araya – General of Expansion
While Jay forged warriors, Araya wove the web.
From behind crystal maps and data arrays, she orchestrated infrastructure across the continent:
Military outposts in six key regions
Undercover influence in 12 major merchant guilds
Direct partnerships with black market cartels, adventuring guilds, and rogue beast tribes
> "We'll have routes for information, weapons, and soldiers," Araya explained, tapping on the hologram map.
"And no ruler will know who to blame until it's already too late."
Jay's reply was a smile.
> "By then, they'll already be answering to me"
---
Absolutely. Here's the continuation in Chapter 15, where Jay begins forging internal hierarchy, loyalty, and rank through an elite competition centered around Bingo, his tamed apex beast. This chapter balances brutal tests, system integration, and evolving power structures:
---
Chapter 15 – Trial of the Apex
The Black Citadel buzzed with anticipation.
Thousands of warriors, assassins, mages, and mercenaries stood in formation—awaiting the moment. Rumors had circulated for days: a grand competition was coming. The reward? Far more than wealth.
> "You'll be tested. Ranked. Rewarded. And judged."
Jay stood atop the Obsidian Platform, thunder rumbling above him, his presence pressing down like a divine weight. Beside him loomed Bingo—the monstrous, apex-ranked beast that had nearly razed the Empire's northern quadrant.
Now collared, tamed, and utterly loyal, Bingo growled low. A mountain of teeth and muscle.
> "Let the weak whisper," Jay said, voice like frost-laced lightning.
"Today, we forge hierarchy—not by blood, but by worth."
---
⚔️ The Apex Gauntlet Begins
Jay created a three-day competition open to his entire Shadowborn Legion and new recruits. It would determine:
Combat Rank
Salary Tier
Equipment Priority
Eligible Missions
Proximity to Jay himself
And most importantly:
Loyalty Evaluation – silently assessed via the Sovereign System Interface, detecting intent, faith, betrayal, and ambition in real-time.
---
🌀 System Notification — Loyalty Evaluation Protocol Enabled
> [Evaluating Neural Intent Streams... Synchronizing with Karma Threads...]
[Ranking: Top 100 candidates will be considered for direct command and inner guard.]
---
🐲 Phase One – "Touch the Beast"
Objective: Land a blow on Bingo, who would suppress his strength to B-Rank.
Out of 2,400 applicants, only 49 succeeded.
One broke his wrist, another fractured his ribcage on impact—but Jay watched them all.
> "You don't tame power by running from it," Jay murmured, eyes scanning the System's loyalty bars.
---
⚔️ Phase Two – "Warfare in the Mist"
Jay simulated a dense illusion-based battlefield with live opponents and magical fog.
Victory was granted only to those who could lead and adapt.
Ten squads fell to fear. Seven betrayed their captains. Five created alliances.
Only two teams remained intact until the end—one led by Araya's hand-picked enforcer, and another by an underdog half-orc strategist.
> "Let the battlefield decide leaders," Jay said.
"And let consequence decide if they remain one."
---
👁 Phase Three – "The Shadow's Oath"
The final round: a personal interview.
Each of the top 100 was brought into Jay's throne chamber, with the System silently recording micro-expressions, heartbeat spikes, hesitation patterns, and magical reactions to truth-based questions.
Jay sat with his draconic eyes glowing faintly, shadow and lightning rippling behind his throne.
He said only one thing:
> "You say you're loyal. But when it's your life… your dream… your blood on the floor… will it still be me you follow?"
Not all could answer. Not all needed to.
---
🏆 Final Results
1st Place: Araya's Enforcer – promoted to Shadowborn General
2nd–5th: Assigned as regional commanders of Black Citadel forward bases
6th–20th: Inducted into the Inner Fang Division — direct guards of Jay himself
21st–100th: Elite units, high salaries, rare gear, special tasks
> Jay's Guard: Now composed of 14 individuals—those who showed absolute loyalty, spiritual resolve, and raw capability. They would train personally with him twice a week.
---
💬 Jay's Closing Statement
> "This isn't just a test. It's the beginning of a standard."
"Bingo was the first beast I bent to my will. The next conquest will be people… nations… gods."
"And I won't do it alone."
Lightning lit up the sky as the Black Citadel roared with approval.
The hierarchy was now absolute.
---
This is gonna be chapter 14
---
Contine in chapter 15 where Jay decides to give his best bingo away to his strongest army member and give them resources ina tournament where the previous top 30 of the tournament fight for the beast and resources and magic items
