In a world where power is dictated by gangs, cities, and families ranked from Tier 1 to Tier 6, only the strongest survive. In the Tier 4 city of Blackridge, fifteen-year-old Elijah struggles to find his place. With his mother working tirelessly and his younger sister depending on him, he has always kept his head down.

Determined to rise above the chaos, Elijah and his best friend Kai decide to create their own gang from nothing. But strength in this world isn’t given—it’s taken. The gangs that rule Blackridge won’t tolerate competition, and even the weakest gang has more resources, manpower, and experience than they do. With no money, no reputation, and no clear allies, they must navigate a brutal world of betrayals, violence, and ambition, where every decision could mean life or death.

But Elijah is different. He possesses a mysterious system that offers him power—at a cost. As he slowly uncovers its secrets, he realizes that survival is not enough. To protect those he loves, he must become stronger than anyone else. He must climb the ranks, crush the opposition, and seize control of Blackridge’s underworld.

But in a world ruled by kings, warlords, and ancient families, the price of power is steep. And when the past comes back to haunt him—when whispers of a forgotten night resurface—Elijah must confront not only his enemies but the truth about himself.

In the gang world, the strong rise, the weak perish, and only the ruthless reign supreme.

And Elijah? He plans to reign at the very top

Kai, Tristan, and Jack had created a good enough distraction—most of the gang members were now running in their direction. 


Elijah and Lucas stood there watching before Elijah ordered, "Stay here."


Lucas, confused, grabbed Elijah's hand. "Wait, Elijah, there are still three men left, and all of them are at the Intermediate Knight stage."


Elijah simply smiled. "Just trust me, okay?"


Lucas hesitated, gripping Elijah's hand a little tighter before finally letting go. 


Elijah's smile widened before he turned and started walking toward the orphanage. 


Lucas wanted to shout that he was being reckless, but the moment he blinked—Elijah was gone.


[Phantom Veil] – The user can become invisible at will. Only those with three times more Ki than the user can detect them. Otherwise, they can only be found if they touch someone or are touched.


Elijah stood right in front of Lucas, watching his shocked expression with amusement.
