BLOOD & FORTUNE

In the empire of Velanor, power is everything - and power flows through blood.
Each noble family bears a Bloodmark, a hereditary symbol granting supernatural strength and dominion.
The strong rule from their sky-towers.
The weak crawl through the streets below.
And the forgotten... burn quietly in between.
Once, the House Ardent stood among the Twelve Great Families - warriors blessed with the Emberheart Bloodmark, their flames said to mirror their will.
But betrayal and greed consumed them, leaving nothing but ashes and rumor.
Years later, a nameless boy fights for coin in the back alleys of the capital.
Calm. Calculating. Ruthless when cornered.
He hides his lineage under tattered clothes - until a spark of fire ignites within him, revealing a truth that was supposed to be dead:
the last ember of House Ardent still lives.
Now, Jin Ardent begins his climb from the gutters to the throne of power - through blood, loyalty, strategy, and flame.
He will fight in underground arenas, infiltrate black-market syndicates, and challenge noble houses corrupted by their own legacy.
Every ally will cost him something.
Every victory will burn a piece of his soul.
But when the world is ruled by those born into power, Jin will prove that will can forge an empire stronger than blood.
