In a world where power is built on shadows and secrets, the ultimate throne is not just a seat of authority—it is the key to controlling everything. Hidden from history, this throne has silently dictated wars, economies, and the fate of empires. Now, the race to claim it has begun.

A man with a past buried in blood and deception, finds himself entangled in a deadly game of loyalty and betrayal. What starts as a mission for vengeance turns into a battle for supremacy, as he navigates a labyrinth of powerful adversaries—each willing to kill for a place at the top. With enemies lurking in the dark and allies who may not be what they seem, that man must decide: will he manipulate the game or become a pawn in it?

But power never comes without a price. Every step he takes brings him closer to the throne—yet further from his soul. And in this battle, only one rule remains: Win or be erased from history.

AK meticulously compared the cargo plan with the containers on board. Nothing seemed suspicious. Satisfied, he turned his attention to the Loadicator, checking the ballast to ensure the ship's stability for the upcoming voyage. As he noted the ship's departure time, the door to the ship's office opened.

Captain Abraham stepped in, his presence commanding yet approachable. AK immediately stood up out of respect.

"No need for formalities," Abraham said with a casual wave.

"Okay, sir," AK replied, taking his seat again.

The captain glanced at the Loadicator screen and stability records. "Everything running smoothly, Chief?"

"As of now, everything is good, sir."

Abraham chuckled. "That's a sailor's life—never knowing what the next moment will bring." His expression turned serious. "Take care, Chief. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. You're new to this ship, after all."

Abraham nodded, then asked, "Have you submitted all your joining documents to the Third Officer?"

"No problem," Abraham said. "I'll check the cargo list and plan. Meanwhile, bring your documents. We're sailing out tomorrow, so we need everything in order."

AK left the ship's office, heading to his cabin to retrieve his documents. With departure imminent, every detail had to be perfect.
