Eye of Appraisal

March 15, 1972. Antique restorer Samuel Blackwood was found dead at his workbench. The night before his death, he sealed a shard no larger than a fingernail into the chamber of a spectrometer. On a yellowed note beside it, he left a single line—addressed to a grandson who had not yet been born: “For Eli. He can see.” November 15, 2023. 2:17 a.m. Twenty-seven-year-old Elias Blackwood opened his grandfather’s old cigar box. The shard sliced into his palm. Blood welled up, soaked into the fragment— and in exchange, his eyes awakened. There was no blackout. No pain. No price to pay. No rules. He only blinked once. And suddenly, the pocket watch in his coworker Bob’s hand changed. A thin veil of pale blue mist drifted across its surface, flowing like smoke in slow motion. Eli knew what it meant. A Patek Philippe. 1923 edition. Bob had bought it for eighty dollars. Eli saw its true value: One hundred and twenty thousand. From that moment on, the world revealed all its hidden cards to him. From scavenging at Los Angeles flea markets… to walking away with $470 million from the Antwerp diamond auctions. From challenging the century-old monopoly of the Nine Crowns Consortium… to forcing Middle Eastern princes to kneel and offer him private islands. From restoring a Madonna statue burned fifty-one years ago… to rewriting the global diamond pricing system under one name: Blackwood. He spent twenty-seven years entering this world. And only twenty-seven months making the world remember him.

CROWN: THE AGE OF TECHNIQUES

In a world without magic—only skill, mastery, and ruthless human ambition—a young prince vanishes without a trace. Ron Raiger, heir of the Crowneous Kingdom, is believed dead after a mysterious plane crash over the deadly region known as Caynion. But Ron didn’t die. He was captured. Raised as a hostage, surviving brutality no child should ever face, Ron eventually escapes a burning ruin—scarred, broken, and alone. Fate leads him into the hands of Maria and Fark Luxro, a simple mercenary couple who give him something he’s never had: a home, warmth, and love that feels like parents. But Ron is not just any child. Within him lies the legacy of the Dragon Techniques, the lost martial foundation of the royal Raiger bloodline—skills that can topple kingdoms, shape warriors, and rewrite destinies. Unknown to the world, unknowingly hidden by the people who saved him, Ron grows up not as a prince… but as a survivor. Years pass. As Ron matures under the harsh life of the mercenary territories, the truth buried in his blood begins to awaken. The world beyond the village shifts—kingdoms clash, elites rise, ancient institutions move in the shadows, and enemies of his forgotten lineage continue to hunt what they believe is long dead. But Ron Raiger is not dead. He is rising. From a lost child to a hidden prodigy, from a survivor to a force the world cannot ignore, Ron begins a long journey where brutality, brotherhood, betrayal, and ambition collide. Guided by the love of the parents who saved him and haunted by the girl he could not save, Ron’s path leads toward a destiny greater than anyone imagines. This is the story of a boy reborn from fire, growing into a man who will shake the foundations of an entire world— not by birthright, but by the strength he carved from pain, survival, and the love that shaped him. ------------------------ © 2025 A X CROWN.
