Dominion 14

Prologue - The Contract

The world worshipped HYBE and YG under stadium lights.

They never saw the shadows beneath the stage.

Behind platinum records and global headlines stood two empires older than modern law - syndicates built on bloodlines, territorial control, and secrets governments would rather bury.

For decades, they ruled separately.
Balanced. Controlled. Untouchable.

Until the balance began to crack.

It started with disappearances in neutral territories.
Arms shipments intercepted.
Ancient relics resurfacing from sealed vaults.

Then came the prophecy.

A classified manuscript retrieved from beneath a collapsed monastery spoke of fourteen heirs - divided power, incomplete dominion. It warned of an awakening force that would rise if the bloodlines remained separate.

Fourteen must unite.
Or fourteen will fall.

The board members of HYBE and YG met beneath reinforced marble, in a chamber guarded by biometric locks and men who had never lost a fight.

Seven brothers stood on one side.
Seven sisters on the other.

No greetings.
No emotion.

The decision was already made.

A contractual alliance.
A binding arrangement.

Marriage.

Not for romance.
Not for diplomacy.

For survival.

They were not asked.

They were informed.

Silence filled the chamber - not from shock, but calculation.

Because each of them had been raised the same way:

Loyalty to blood.
Loyalty to empire.
Personal desire irrelevant.

The documents were placed before them - embossed with gold insignias and ancient seals.

Fourteen signatures required.

Fourteen destinies altered.

The air felt heavier as they signed.
Not fear.

Power shifting.

Do they have powers?
Maybe.
Maybe not.

But something ancient stirred the moment the ink dried.

The alliance was sealed.

And somewhere in the dark, something awakened - waiting to see if Dominion 14 would rule the world...

Or destroy it.
