The moon hung low like a watchful god, casting a pale silver light over the noble district. Jay Ezekie—the Silent Reaper—had returned from the Judgment Tower in silence. No words. No grand announcements. But everyone in the capital could feel it.
Something had shifted.
---
Quick Recap:
Jay Ezekie, the Second Prince, underwent one and a half years of intense training inside a time-accelerated chamber hidden beneath the royal palace. Mastering the Tri-Sovereign elements—ice, shadow, and lightning—he emerged as something far beyond what the court had expected. In a public display of dominance, he scored 32 stars on the Judgment Tower, sending ripples through the Empire's elite.
Now, the game had changed.
---
They said he was just a prince.
They were wrong.
He considered himself a God.
And tonight, God passed judgment.
---
Baron Vellian of House Durn—a loudmouth noble known for cozying up to Jay's enemies—had made one mistake too many. He'd called Jay a "an over hyped dumbass with no leadership qualities made for failure
in the council court of king and nobles He had spat it in private chambers, whispered it at noble gatherings, and even went so far as to suggest Jay be removed from succession.
Everyone knew it.
So, when Baron Vellian's manor was found drenched in silence the next morning—his body torn asunder, frozen solid, and laced with lightning burns—nobody said a word.
The symbol scorched into the wall was unmistakable.
Three marks.
Ice. Shadow. Lightning.
It was to show who did it and what he's capable of
Not even nobles can stop him
---
He didn't hide it.
Jay made no effort to cover his trail.
Why would he?
He wasn't playing their games.
> "While there playing checkers I'm playing chess "
He said it aloud the moment the High Council assembled in emergency.
Some tried to accuse him. Others dared not.
The Emperor simply looked at his son, eyes narrowed, then nodded.
Baron Vellian's seat was now empty.
Jay turned to Araya—a loyal subordinate and iceborn noble who had trained under him directly in the past few months.
"You want to serve me for real?" Jay asked.
Araya knelt without hesitation. "Always."
"You're a Baron now."
And just like that, titles changed hands.
He hadn't just removed a threat.
He'd replaced it.
Elevated loyalty.
Demonstrated consequence.
---
The court tried to understand him, to anticipate his next move.
But how do you predict a storm that rewrites the sky?
Jay didn't need alliances. He made obedience the only logical path.
Some feared him.
Some admired him.
All watched him.
And the capital learned something that night:
The Silent Reaper wasn't just a name.
It was a warning.
A prophecy.
And he had only just begun writing it in blood and frost.""
Perfect. Here's:
---
Chapter 13 – A Throne Beneath Lightning Skies
The capital no longer slept.
Ever since Baron Renvall's death—his palace reduced to frost-laced rubble, lightning scars etched across its walls, and a shadow sigil burned into the marble—the Empire stirred like a hive struck with a spear.
And everyone knew who did it.
Jay Ezekie, the Second Prince. The Silent Reaper.
He left no room for denial—just power, terror, and a vacant barony now claimed by one of his most trusted: Araya Vellor, once a servant, now a noblewoman of dangerous promise.
The nobles whispered. Some plotted. Others begged for alliance. But none dared move against him—not openly.
---
Recap:
Jay Ezekie, following his Tri-Sovereign Awakening, underwent 1.5 years of grueling training within a time-warped chamber. Ice, Shadow, and Lightning bent to his will. Emerging stronger than any youth in the Empire, he shattered expectations and tower records alike. After slaying seven nobles and claiming the title "Silent Reaper," he cemented himself as a prince none could ignore.
Now? He's no longer seeking recognition.
He's remaking the entire hierarchy.
---
⚡ A Barony Reborn
Araya stood on the balcony of her newly inherited estate—formerly Renvall's—and exhaled slowly.
She was different now. Her eyes glowed faintly with mana. Her aura, once suppressed in servitude, now flared with noble force, polished by Jay himself.
> "Why me?" she'd once asked.
Jay had looked at her, eyes unreadable.
> "Because loyalty matters more than blood. And I don't give power to those who haven't earned it."
Her barony became a hub of change—strict reforms, new training halls, mana infrastructure, and a growing militia of female guards called the Velvet Fangs, loyal to her and by extension, him.
Whispers flowed: "She was just a maid."
But the wise knew better: She was Jay's piece on the board—and she was playing to win.
---
👑 A King's Gambit Begins
Meanwhile, Jay stood high in the royal tower, overlooking the capital. The lightning in the clouds above seemed to respond to his mood—silent, crackling anticipation in every bolt.
He was no longer just preparing.
He was orchestrating.
> "They think I'm just shaking the tree," Jay murmured to Sasha, her ethereal form hovering at his side, arms crossed.
"But I'm setting the whole forest on fire."
She smirked, amused.
> "You're finally beginning to move like a ruler. They don't realize you're not reacting... you're predicting."
> "They're playing checkers," Jay said darkly, shadows coiling at his boots. "I'm building a new board—and they're already losing pieces."

🦋 Meanwhile, in the Shadows
Far beyond the capital, in a different duchy—one not yet loyal to Jay—a figure in silver robes radiation godly vibe shattered a scrying orb in frustration.
> "He's advancing too fast."
Another man—older, dressed in priestly black—sighed.
> "Then it's time to trigger the first test."
The silver-robed man turned, eyes narrowing.
> "You want to unleash her already?"
> "He survived noble assassins. Killed Renvall. Took the Tower. If he wants to rise..."
"Let's see how he fares against an Emperor-class cursed beast."
---
Jay receives intelligence of a rampaging cursed beast headed for the capital—one supposedly extinct for 300 years. Its arrival is no coincidence.
Jay: what is emperor clas isn't is suppose to be E rank to God
Got it! Here's the improved version with "often associated with Emperors" added as a requirement under S Rank, and everything presented cleanly and powerfully:
---
🔰 Mortal Tiers – The Path of Strength Begins
1. E Rank – Novice
A fresh beginner just stepping into the world of power. Lacks combat experience and mana control.

Chapter 14 – The Taming of Bingo: Kingbreaker Beast
The cursed beast came at midnight.
The capital's skies twisted black as thunder cracked without warning. A monstrous silhouette leapt from the forested outskirts, barreling toward the city walls with rage that shattered trees in its wake.
Its name—once whispered in history as a plague made flesh—had been long forgotten.
But tonight, Jay gave it a new one.
> "Let's call you... Bingo."
---
☁️ The Kingbreaker Descends
Bingo wasn't just a beast.
It was an Emperor-class cursed entity—four-legged, fused with plated obsidian scales, fur laced with dark mana, eyes glowing crimson and wild. Horns of jagged metal twisted like a crown from its skull, and its roar sent shockwaves that shattered barriers on impact.
> "It's headed for the inner district!" a knight screamed.
> "Form the suppression line—hold it back!"
But every strike from the military failed. Magic dissolved on contact. Arrows broke mid-flight. Bingo crushed elite mages underfoot like twigs.
And then…
Jay stepped forward.
Wearing black imperial armor veined with Tri-Sovereign inscriptions, he stood atop the central watchtower, staring down at the rampaging entity with utter stillness.
His eyes glowed blue, then violet, then gold—his elements synchronizing.
His katana materialized in his hand—Frostbrand Tyrant, forged from Vault-forged obsidian.
> "Let's make this interesting."
---
⚔️ The War Begins
The moment he moved, the world trembled.
Jay launched downward like a thunderbolt. Bingo roared, charging with primal hunger.
Their clash shattered the earth.
Jay's barrage of spells slowed the beast—[Cryo-Storm Cage], [Shadowstep Echo], and [Voltaic Barrage] pierced its outer defense. But Bingo adapted. It shed corrupted blood that burned the earth and retaliated with gravity-distorting pulses.
Jay switched tactics—baiting it toward the Frostblight Gorge, a terrain he had prepared earlier with mana mines and anchored seals. Each explosion chained the beast, but Bingo tore through them with a howl that shook the capital walls.
Jay coughed blood—two ribs broken from a tail whip he barely dodged.
Lightning crackled—Jay pushed his limits.
[Pulse Reflex] met Bingo's claw with electric backlash. He slashed into its hind leg, coating the wound in shadow frost to slow regeneration. The beast lunged, but Jay blinked midair with [Skybreaker Howl], slamming Bingo into the ground.
Bingo roared—and evolved.
A cursed aura burst from its core. It doubled in size. Dark bone-armor grew along its back, and its blood transformed into liquid malice. Jay was flung hundreds of meters, crashing through a ruined bell tower.
Sasha's voice echoed faintly through his mind.
> "This is beyond most Emperor-class threats. You're still holding back?"
Jay stood slowly, bleeding, mana flickering.
> "I was saving this…"
---
🔮 The Relic of Last Resort
From his cloak, he pulled a silver relic: the Seal of Aetherion Chains—a divine-tier artifact salvaged from the deepest Vault layer.
Three serpent-shaped chains emerged, infused with light, shadow, and storm. As Jay raised it, his aura exploded.
> "System—Overclock True Boundless Drive. Synchronize Tri-Core Sequence."
The battlefield warped.
Bingo charged.
Jay moved faster than lightning. His blade met the beast's horns, and the chains of the relic wrapped around Bingo's limbs, wings, and throat mid-motion. The more the beast resisted, the more the chains adapted—tightening with sovereign will.
Jay used the chain to swing onto the beast's back. He stabbed the katana into the cursed spinal node and unleashed a full-element pulse.
> "ICE. SHADOW. STORM—COVERGANCE
Jay made a Strom and all these elements attacked bingo at once
The attack detonated from within.
---
🐾 And Then… Silence
Bingo thrashed once—twice—then dropped.
Collapsed. Alive.
Subdued.
Jay stepped down from its back, frost rising around his boots. Blood coated his lip, his armor cracked, but his eyes... were steady.
He placed a hand on the beast's massive horn.
> "You belong to me now."
The chains reformed into a glowing mark on Bingo's body—a sigil shaped like three overlapping crescents.
Tamed.

☁️ After the Fight
The battle lasted two full hours.
Collateral damage totaled six buildings, four mana towers, and a large portion of the southern training square.
But Bingo was subdued.
As the citizens of the capital came out of hiding, they saw Jay—bloody but standing—riding atop the massive creature as it limped toward the central plaza under his command.
The sky wept faint rain.
And as thunder rumbled one final time, a whisper passed through the city like divine law.
> "He didn't just kill the beast…"
> "He made it his mount."
The Silent Reaper… now rode a nightmare.
And the nobles who once watched from towers in fear?
Now they prayed their names would never reach his ears.
