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 waited outside the building Jack was staying in. He'd left Jack asleep, knocked out like a rock.


Kai had started living here recently it was close to the gang's base, and honestly, the place was just cool.


It didn't take long before Tony pulled up in the SUV. Kai hopped in, but a thought had been nagging at him.


"Hey Tony," Kai said, "You said Ben and a few of the guys stole this SUV and the van from some rich guy, right? You think that'll come back to bite us?"


Tony, driving with a cigarette between his fingers, shook his head. "Nah.


The guy made a bet with Ben at some casino in the Centre District.


Since the bet wasn't tied to anything official, Ben couldn't go through the casino to get his money.


We paid the guy a little visit, gave him a talk.


He handed over the SUV and the van as an apology... before Ben shot him.
