THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Vessel
Liam evaded Jasper’s swift attack, creating some distance between them. He leveled his gaze at Jasper, rolling his shoulders as the throbbing pain in his jaw faded away, replaced by a slow wry smile.“Still want to keep fighting?” he asked, his voice steady despite the storm raging inside him.Jasper smirked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He didn’t look winded. If anything, he looked like he was enjoying himself.“I’m not the one losing,” Jasper said smoothly, eyes gleaming in the dim light. “I’ve been waiting for this fight for a long time, Liam. And you—” He exhaled, shaking his head slightly. “You’re making a mistake.”Liam’s fingers flexed around the hilt of the Zuri blade. His breath came slow and measured.“No,” he said. “The mistake was thinking you could take this from me.”The words felt final, and in that moment, something inside him shifted. The pull of the Zuri blade was stronger now, no longer a whisper but a steady, insistent force curling around his min
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Choosing Sides
The silence that followed after Liam snapped Jasper’s neck was deafening. The weight of Jasper’s lifeless body in his grip still felt surreal, as if his mind refused to register what had just happened. He had just taken a life and even when he wanted to blame it on the Ogini’s influence, he couldn’t. He was the one that held on to Jasper’s throat. Even now, his fingers, still wrapped around Jasper’s throat, trembled slightly before they finally loosened, letting the body slump lifelessly to the ground.Liam stared down at him, his breath uneven. A dull ringing filled his ears. His chest rose and fell in panicked, broken breaths. What had he done? He had killed before, but it was always in self defense, but now he had just taken someone’s life in cold blood. Was Evelyn right? Was he already losing control of himself and turning into something else?For a moment, he was numb. The world around him blurred at the edges, his mind struggling to process the reality before him. Jasper was dea
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Sides Are Drawn
Liam took a deep breath after he ended the call, his pulse still hammering in his ears. His grip on the Zuri blade had tightened for a moment before he forced himself to loosen it. He needed to focus. The rage was still there, simmering beneath the surface, like it was begging to be let loose, but now it had direction, purpose.He closed his eyes, inhaled deeply through his nose, and then exhaled slowly through his mouth as if trying to balance his mind. The old teachings of his master surfaced in his mind, pulling him back to a time before all of this—before the Ogini, before the betrayals, before the bloodshed.“If you do not control the power, it will control you.” His master once told him.Liam swallowed hard as he recalled those words. At the time, he didn’t see why his master had said those words. But right now, he knew that if he was going to survive this war, if he was going to end the Tribunal once and for all, he couldn’t afford to lose himself to the Ogini’s influence. It
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Morath Relic
Liam strode through the hospital hallways in a hurry, his boots echoing against the cold floor with purpose and dread. The fluorescent lights above flickered slightly, casting shadows that seemed to shift with every step he took. His heart pounded as he made his way to Jack’s room, but it wasn’t just from urgency, it was also from the lingering weight of his last conversation with Jack. He was awake. He was alive. But the fear in his voice had been unmistakable.As soon as he reached the door to Jack’s room, he pushed it open without hesitation, scanning his eyes around, for any signs of danger.Jack was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, his face pale, his hands gripping the sheets like he was trying to hold onto reality itself. His breathing was ragged, uneven. And then, Liam saw his eyes, wide, unfocused, filled with something he rarely saw in Jack. It was clear that having had a brush with dead, Jack was reflecting on certain conditions and moments of his life.Upon seeing t
THE VENGEFUL HEIR The Birth of a Dark Creature
Liam hesitated, the weight of Jack’s words pressing down on him like a heavy chain. He knew what he had to do. He knew what was at stake. But the moment he turned, ready to leave, Jack’s voice stopped him again.“I’m not letting you do this alone, Liam.”Liam turned back. Jack had pulled himself up, inching toward him, his steps shaky but determined. His face was pale, his body weak, but his eyes burned with something fierce, something unyielding.Liam sighed tiredly, rubbing his fingers against his temple before giving Jack a once over. His friend was barely standing, yet he was ready to follow him into battle. It would have been admirable if it wasn’t so reckless.“I wish you could fight this one with me,” Liam admitted and then shifted his gaze directly to Jack. “But right now, you’re only a liability.”Jack feigned a smile, placing a hand over his heart in mock offense. “Ouch, that hurts, Liam. Really.”Liam shook his head, exhaling in frustration, but Jack’s smirk faded as he too
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Made The Choice For You
Liam’s fingers twitched at his sides, torn between his instincts and the weight of Jack’s words. The idea of having Jack by his side, healed and capable, was tempting. Since Jack got injured and then captured, he had to carry the burden and weight of their fight alone, never fully trusting that someone else could understand the fight the way he did. But Jack, he had had always been different. He understood things in a way few did.Liam exhaled slowly, his jaw tightening. Jack saw the hesitation flicker across Liam’s face and seized the moment. He reached out and grabbed Liam’s hand, gripping it tightly, his fingers pressing hard into Liam’s skin. His eyes, usually filled with mischief, were dark with frustration.“I know it’s dangerous, Liam,” Jack said, his voice low and urgent. “But so is fighting a legion of those monsters.” He paused, his chest rising and falling with each shallow breath. “You know you need me, Liam. You know I can take it.”Liam’s throat tightened. He wanted to s
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Saved... But at what Cost?
Liam gritted his teeth as he pressed his hands against Jack’s wound, willing his chi to flow into him. The energy pulsed, thick and burning, coursing through his veins like molten fire. He could feel it shifting, twisting within him, resisting just as much as it obeyed.The Ogini stirred in the depths of his chi, the ancient force lingered, waiting for a moment of weakness, any weakness he could latch on to and take control of Liam’s mind. Liam knew this was dangerous, he knew that giving too much of himself could weaken his hold over it. But Jack’s heartbeat was slowing, his breath coming in short, rattled gasps. If he didn’t finish this and soon, Jack would die.Liam forced more energy through his palms, feeling it push into Jack’s broken body, knitting flesh, mending organs, pulling him back from the brink of death. Sweat beaded at Liam’s forehead, showing the weight of the situation. His muscles ached, his vision blurred, and he could feel the pull of the Ogini growing stronger, s
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Peter’s Return
Liam barely had a moment to think. Jack was filled with too much energy after being seemingly reborn. He didn’t want to waste any time. He was already too eager to test out his new powers and so strode ahead toward the car with a confidence that made Liam slightly concerned for him. He knew what new power felt like, and knew that right now, Jack was not considering the chances of him losing control or this power fighting to maintain a balance and adjust to his body.Although he had never tried something like this before, he had heard about the few times that people tried and how damaging the results turned out to be. For someone who was not born with the cultivation gift, the power could either blend with their body or destroy it, and the worst part was that there was really no way to tell. In a way, this was nature’s way of ensuring that the powers in the universe were balanced and maintained, which was why Peter’s creations were even more dangerous than they seemed. Liam lingered f

Peter’s Monsters
Meanwhile after Peter left Moran’s mansion, he was filled with a new air of confidence as he strode into his laboratory, the Morath Relic clutched tightly in his hand, its cold surface pulsing faintly against his palm. The air inside the facility smelled of chemicals, burnt metal, and something else, something old, something forgotten like it was an abandoned lair. He exhaled slowly, allowing himself a moment to savor his victory. Once again, he had clashed with the Ogini, and once again, he had walked away triumphant. But this time was different.This time, he knew he was running out of his sharp edges, and there was another potential problem, Jack. That boy was the variable he hadn’t accounted for, the unexpected force tilting the balance. If it had been just the Ogini, Peter would have already cemented his dominance. But Jack had proven to be more than a nuisance—he was a real threat. The energy inside him, the way he wielded it, the way he had managed to break through the Ogini’
In The Last Minute
Jack barely had time to react. One second, he saw Liam’s eyes flickering between red and blue, a sign of the battle raging inside him. The next, the Ogini lunged.A sharp gasp escaped Jack as a powerful hand clamped around his throat. His feet left the ground, his body hoisted effortlessly into the air. The grip was tight, crushing, cutting off his air. He clawed at Liam’s arm, kicking violently, but it was useless. The Ogini was too strong and it had gotten him right where it wanted.A cold smirk spread across The Ogini’s lips. His eyes digging deep into Jack’s as if trying to capture his very soul.Jack’s vision blurred at the edges, his lungs burning. His body thrashed, instinct screaming at him to fight, but his strength was fading fast. The Ogini tilted its head slightly, eyes glowing with eerie amusement as it studied him like a toy that was about to break.“You’ve been quite the nuisance,” the Ogini murmured, its voice smooth yet sharp, layered with something ancient and cruel.

Fight For Control
Peter’s car had disappeared into the night, the taillights vanishing in the darkness, but the air still hummed with the aftershock of their battle—cracked pavement, scattered bodies, and the lingering charge of power that had yet to fade. But Liam wasn’t focused on any of it.His fingers curled tighter around the Zuri blade, its energy still alive in his grasp. His breath was heavy, his body rigid. His chest rose and fell with the remnants of adrenaline. And then, his eyes shifted.Jack barely had a moment to process what was happening before he saw the look in Liam’s eyes. They were cold, unreadable, but filled with something unmistakably foreign. Something that ironically he had recognized. This wasn’t Liam anymore. Not entirely. The faint red glow of the Ogini flickered beneath the surface of his eyes.Jack took a slow step back, every muscle in his body tensing.“Liam?” His voice was measured, but he could hear the uncertainty creeping into it.Liam didn’t respond. Or rather—the O
The Escape
Liam’s vision darkened, fading off slowly against the dented hood of the car. Pain pulsed through every inch of him, his ribs aching from the force of the impact. He could barely move, and was barely breathing. The last thing he saw was Jack, on his knees, trembling violently, his body rejecting the energy coursing through him. Peter’s voice echoed in the distance, smug and victorious.“Time’s up, Liam.”And that was when everything changed. A sudden w surge of energy spread through his fingers. It started in his grip, where the Zuri blade was still clutched tightly in his hand, and then it spread—like fire igniting in his veins.The power of the blade roared to life, but Liam knew he wasn’t the one in control anymore. He had lost it to the Ogini. Right now, anything that happened was out of his control.A massive force erupted from Liam’s body, blasting outward like a shockwave. The elite soldier pinning him down was flung into the air, the impact of the force so great, his entire bo
Time’s Up
When Peter lifted the Morath Relic, Liam felt a sharpSting through his heart. Peter’s grip tightened around it like a man who had just seized ultimate power. The dim glow from the relic illuminated his sharp features, showing the smugness in his eyes.“Didn’t think it’d be that easy,” Peter said, his voice smooth, dripping with satisfaction. “But finally, I’ve gotten it. Now, the only thing left is that blade in your hand.”Liam’s fingers instinctively curled around the Zuri blade at his side. Its hilt was warm against his palm, pulsing slightly as if aware of the danger surrounding them. Before he could respond, Peter’s gaze drifted toward Jack.For a split second, Peter hesitated, his brow knitting together in momentary surprise. Then, a slow, sinister smirk stretched across his lips.“Hold your dog, Liam. I wouldn’t want to break him again.” Peter sneered.Jack didn’t need any more provocation, as soon as those words hit him, he was truly like a dog which was about to go free. His
