When the sky cracked and light bled through the oceans, over twelve million people were transported from Earth to the mythical planet Elyssar. Each human was crowned supreme ruler of a unique native tribe — a race of beast-kin, spirit-born, or elemental-blooded — given a starter base, a tribal oath of loyalty, and a single warning:

“Rule wisely, or be devoured by your own.”

An all-seeing system connects them: world chat, trade, alliances, declarations of war. After a 30-day protection period, the Blood Moons descend, bringing waves of chaos beasts and planet-wide destabilization.

In this mad, beautiful world of shifting power, only one person is different.

Riku Yamada, an unremarkable high school graduate, awakens to a secret interface unknown to all others — the Thousandfold System.

With it, anything he masters — loyalty, tactics, culture, even memory or belief — can be Folded, multiplied exponentially. A single upgrade to a waterwheel could irrigate entire valleys. A single inspired speech could birth a religion.

But the system comes with no instruction. Its cost is unknown.

And while others burn their tribes for fast power, Riku builds something deeper — stranger — alive.

In a world where gods sleep beneath the soil and ancient tribes still whisper to the stars, one boy's quiet empire may become the seed of a new reality.

Sovereign: Rise of the Thousandfold King

The second wall stood strong. Patrols rotated without incident. Ashmaw had taken to sleeping lightly, ears twitching at invisible signals in the soil. And the three main expansion zones — A, B, and now C — each marked critical edges of Riku's growing command.

Today, he stood on a moss-slick ridge above the southern slope, staring at the final Claim Token in his hand.

Smooth obsidroot. A triangle etched with a symbol that glowed faint blue only when held.

And in seconds, it dissolved into flecks of rootdust and vanished into the earth.

[Claim Token (3/3) — Use Complete]

All system-bound territory extensions deployed. Further growth must be earned or seized.

This third expansion wasn't for open defense like A or resource flow like B.

Dense trees, natural overhangs, and a thick patch of groundmist that never burned off — perfect for building what he called the Blind Hall.

A subterranean fallback structure. Designed to:

House a handpicked quick-response unit

Act as command backup in case of headquarters compromise

Quiet excavation by root-diver teams

Use of barkstone panels laced with slagline

Floor-set vibration pads to detect movement

By Day 5, the upper chamber was complete.

It was buried, sealed, and left silent.

Meanwhile, the main headquarters — begun back in Sector A — reached completion.

It spanned a shallow circular clearing ringed by braced bark walls and Lorian-root-grown arches. The core structure had three rings:

– A chamber lined with carved mosslight panels

– Echo crystal installed at its center for order transmission

– Tactical map ring with movable rootglyphs

– Ashmaw's domain, complete with two cold-pit dens

– Hooks for chain harnesses and storage for fangbone gear

– Layered storage for weapons, minerals, Blood Moon salvage, and medicinal caches

– Only accessible by two keys, one held by Riku, one by Thalya

The ceiling was reinforced with iron-laced barksteel and the entryway flanked by two Lorian "root guards" — woven root statues shaped like watchers, each posed as if silently warning intruders.
