The heavy silence in the carriage was far denser than the quiet that had preceded it.
Outside, beyond the crimson velvet curtains, the polished streets of the Crown’s Promenade had lost their usual orderly vanity.
The news—whatever fragment of absolute, world-shattering reality had just broken through the high walls of the capital—was rippling through the crowds like an invisible wave.
Knights in enchanted plate armor stood frozen at their posts, their hands resting white-knuckled on the hilts of their broadswords as they stared blankly into the plaza.
Noblewomen lowered their silk parasols, forgotten, their faces drained of color as hushed, panicked messengers sprinted from boutique to boutique.
The pristine, gilded reality of the Upper District was splintering in real time.
Today was not merely political maneuverings or house rivalries.
The world itself had been thrown into pure, unadulterated chaos.
Inside the carriage, Rosalina stared at her own reflection in the dark glass of the window, her breath short and shallow.
Her mind, usually a terrifying engine of calculated scenarios and political maneuvers, felt jammed under the sheer weight of what had just transpired.
The chessboard she had been so meticulously setting up was no longer just breaking—the entire room had caught fire.
”Everything…” Rosalina whispered, her voice barely audible over the low rumble of the carriage wheels.
Her gloved fingers dug tightly into the armrest, her knuckles turning pale.
“Everything we planned for tonight…
the factions, the Crown Prince, House Vane…
none of it matters in the same way anymore, does it?”
She turned her head slowly to look at Barn.
For the first time since he had stepped into her life, the sharp, arrogant edge in her brown eyes was replaced by a raw, disorienting realization of the world collapsing around them.
She understood his actions—in fact, she even found herself liking Lady Nyxara—but a quiet fear lingered in her heart that Nyxara might steal Barn away from her.
She couldn’t bring herself to voice it, immensely grateful as she was for the extraordinary opportunity he had given her, even if it brought a tidal wave of chaos in its wake.
Barn remained leaning back against the velvet cushion, his tall frame completely still.
The shadow-black coat he wore absorbed the faint light inside the cabin, its subtle silver runes pulsing with a quiet, ominous rhythm.
He didn’t look shocked.
He didn’t look afraid; he looked like someone who had achieved his exact goals and acted entirely as he pleased.
’Was this his plan all along?’ she thought, uncertain of the truth, before softly dismissing the thought.
His dark eyes held an absolute, terrifying calm as he looked back at her.
”When the storm comes, Luna,” Barn said softly, his low voice grounding the suffocating air in the cabin, “the weak scramble to hold onto their crumbling houses.
The strong simply decide who gets to survive it.”
He reached out, his hand steady as he placed his fingers over hers, prying her tense grip away from the crushed leather of the armrest.
Rosalina felt a sudden clarity wash over her.
Prince Wilhem was strong and the Church was powerful, but so was House Vane and the formidable House Nightbane.
With Barn standing at her side, she realized there was truly nothing to fear.
”Haah,” Rosalina sighed, letting go of the built-up tension and leaning back to rest, knowing all too well that tomorrow would bring a monumental headache.
“I informed my home, but still, I need to greet everyone on my own.”
”We can handle it tomorrow,” Barn said smoothly.
”Yes…
together,” she murmured softly as her eyes heavy with exhaustion closed, drifting off to sleep inside the rolling carriage.
Barn felt no fatigue whatsoever.
Yet, deep within his mind, he knew the gears of a far grander shift had begun to turn.
‘Let’s start it,’ he thought.
The moment the thought crossed his mind, a distinct, familiar chime resonated directly within his spiritual core:
Ting!

• A supreme physique capable of standing completely immune to, resisting, and absorbing all forms of physical and magical attacks.

Intrigued by the sudden surge in his internal matrix, Barn posed a mental question to the depths of his own consciousness: ‘Hey, what is the highest limit one can reach in this world?’
The calm, echoing inner voice of his own higher perception responded:
”The absolute strongest is unknown to mortal records.
However, according to world records, the highest documented mortal peak was an entity at Level 110 with stats roughly equivalent to 15,000 Mortal Standard.”
”So how strong would that actually be?” Barn asked with genuine curiosity.
Though he knew he was extraordinarily powerful, he wanted a concrete metric.
”A Level 100 being possessing 10,000 Strength can produce a physical force ranging from 100,000 tons to 1,000,000 tons, depending on stat distribution, level compression, and active aura control.
Their defensive rating allows them to resist equivalent kinetic and elemental forces.
As the Level increase the limits grow as level 110 with 15,000 strengthe can produce force from 6,00,000 Ton to 6,000,000 Ton Because after level 100 every class you get is world class or Rare class but for ryou, your current soul output sits far above that threshold—you could easily survive a direct nuclear blast without suffering significant damage but you don’t have stable path therefore you look weaker but your class makes you stronger than a Level 150 being, the World class”
Barn smiled faintly.
“Display my full System Status.”

As the carriage crossed the gilded gates into the Artecus Capital Estate, Barn looked out at the distant spires of the Royal Palace, a faint, dangerous smile playing on his lips.
The board was cleared, the pieces were set, and the true game was only just beginning.
