Innate Spirits are the physical manifestation of people’s souls, proof of their deepest desires and true nature. In a world where the powerful rule everything, those with weak or nonexistent spirits are completely dismissed. When children attain the age of 16, every child awakens their Innate Spirit through the awakening test, a moment that determines their fate all through their life. Cole was immediately termed trash. He failed to awaken, and all that was in the place of his spirit was an obscure figure no one could make out, but its presence briefly seemed to oppress all present. The feeling was fleeting, and Cole was branded as worthless; he was set to be reduced to nothing but a servant, discarded by a world that values power above all else. Desperate to defy his fate, Cole chased a chance at change, only to be met with overwhelming danger. In the face of death, his soul finally responded, and his innate spirit awakened. But the earth-shattering power he expected never came; instead, he received a book. Runes are deeply engraved all over its cover. Giving off intense oppressive vibes. A book that would grow alongside him and one day become the foundation upon which all life and all laws are rewritten.

Why not enjoy his life while the world crumbles?! So, Ixion decides to make a list of things he wants to do and accomplish before the world’s demise.

Power built the Murad empire. Blood secured it. Betrayal nearly destroyed it. Across India, New York, and beyond, Sohan Kadeon Murad reigns as one of the most feared men in the underworld. CEO of eight global empires and supreme leader of the Obsidian Triad, he rules with calculated brutality. His enemies vanish. His name commands silence. Yet even the darkest king had a weakness. His wife, Riyana. And their only daughter— Lilith Mahira Baneva. Born as the final heir. The true owner of everything. When greed consumes Sohan’s own cousins, a carefully orchestrated attack shatters the Murad family. A truck collision meant to eliminate Riyana and six-year-old Lilith leaves Riyana missing and presumed dead. Lilith survives—but her mind does not. Sohan unleashes hell on those responsible, wiping out bloodlines in a storm of vengeance before being imprisoned for ten years. His final command to his eight sons: No war among yourselves. Protect your sister. Keep her away from the darkness. While the brothers rise into powerful men—ruthless, disciplined, and loyal—Lilith grows up in a mental asylum, her brilliant mind trapped in the innocence of a child. Unknown to her brothers, someone close ensures she never heals, poisoning her recovery with damaging medication to keep her fragile… and unfit to rule. At sixteen, she returns home. Beautiful. Quiet. Mischievous. Broken. The empire legally belongs to her—but the world sees only a shattered girl holding pieces of herself together. Then comes the man powerful enough to rival the Murads. The feared leader of The Dominion Apex—half Russian, half American, Indian by blood. A king among kings. Cold. Strategic. Merciless. During a high-stakes alliance meeting, a single moment changes everything. He sees Lilith Mahira Baneva. And instead of weakness, he sees something no one else dares to look for. He takes her. What begins as possession slowly shifts into something far more dangerous—an obsession neither of them expected. In her silence, he finds calm. In his darkness, she finds protection. But beneath the fragile surface of the shattered heiress lies something waiting. Healing. Memory. Power. Will Lilith Mahira Baneva rise to reclaim the empire written in her blood? Will the ruthless king fall for the girl the world underestimated? Or will secrets, betrayal, and war tear apart what remains of the Murad legacy? In a world ruled by monsters, the most dangerous throne belongs to a broken queen.

As she quietly rewrites the future and prepares her revenge, the bond deepens, revealing truths neither of them can escape. The closer they become, the more the system responds, blurring the line between independence and unity. I will be uploading one chapter until I am able to see a contract, but if I end up not seeing one, I will just continue the chapters. I don’t really know. Also, the story will start very slowly because of the pacing and character introductions, to really understand the story and how everything will fit together for the arcs. So this first arc will be very slow in pacing so bear with me and let me cook. You will enjoy the first arc. Note: I will also give a brief introduction to my main characters after I have introduced them in the story.
