Ascendancy (Luca's kingdom)

In the crime-infested city of Valleria, Luca rises from a cunning middle school kid to the ruthless leader of an underground empire. As Luca’s influence grows, he seeks not just survival, but total dominance over the city’s criminal landscape. But in the shadows of power, danger lurks, and every move comes at a price. Valleria is his to conquer—if he can survive long enough to claim it.
