The price of power

In the heart of a fictional Nigerian city, Adaora Nwosu rises from the ashes of betrayal to become one of the most powerful figures in Lagos. Born into a family torn apart by greed and deception, she learns early that power is never given but it is taken. After orchestrating the downfall of her ruthless half-brother, Chike, Adaora believes she has secured her place at the top. But just when she thinks the war is over, a ghost from the past returns Ikenna Nwosu, the brother everyone thought was dead. Ikenna is not just back for revenge. He is back to claim everything. As the battle for dominance unfolds, Adaora is faced with a brutal truth: someone in her inner circle is working against her. A traitor, feeding Ikenna information. And with every move she makes, her enemies grow stronger, forcing her to question everyone around her including the people she once trusted with her life. With political power, wealth, and survival on the line, Adaora must decide: Should she strike first and eliminate Ikenna before he becomes a true threat? Or should she wait, uncover the traitor, and destroy them from the inside? In a city where loyalty is a myth and betrayal is inevitable, Adaora must play the most dangerous game of all one where the price of power could cost her everything. Will she emerge victorious, or will she become just another casualty in the war for control? "The Price of Power" is a gripping tale of revenge, ambition, and survival in a world where trust is a weapon and power is the ultimate prize.

GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

It is said that you shouldn't meet your heroes. Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal bloodline didn't have to meet the realm lord of High Heaven before he became disillusioned. His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he got some damning knowledge about why demons kept attacking his home and looting the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord turned to self-hatred for his weakness and mediocrity. Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He isn't at the bottom of the ladder in this strength-based hierarchy. He is a king of law, but that apparently isn't enough to guarantee your fate. His strength is also mediocre because it was granted to him because of his bloodline. He determined he had to change himself. He has to become better. He concocted a plan that is one part genius and one part greed. His plan for reincarnation led him to the trial of heaven that occurs every origin cycle. He needed Origin essence so he participated in the trial. He got more than he wanted from the trial. His plan for reincarnation would be a success after some adjustments. But now he has a different aim. He won't aim for just the realm lord. The realm lord has control of the High Heaven Realm. That isn't enough for Geraldirah anymore. He became greedier. He has his sight set on the movers and shakers of the Void Universe. Only the power to subvert the will of World Gods will do. The plan to create LEGION, the ultimate organism was then hatched. If one person cannot achieve something, what about a multitude of them? His journey will not be easy. He will have to overcome Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon kings and their Demon gods. The Void Universe is full of obstacles that will like nothing more than to put an end to his path. It is not that they hate him. They will oppose him simply because the era of conquest is coming. There are no friends in the era of conquest. It is everyone for themselves. And he will use everything and everyone for the advancement of Legion. AUTHOR: I cannot promise that you will like it.

However, all modifications must be paid for with an equal exchange.] Ash narrowed his eyes. "Equal exchange… Meaning the more drastic the change, the more valuable the cost?" [Correct. Small modifications require lesser exchanges. Major modifications require precious, irreplaceable sacrifices.] *** His eyes narrowed. "System, explain. What the hell do you mean by ‘One of the Core that make up the system’?" [Processing query…] Ash folded his arms, already preparing for another vague, cryptic answer.

Centuries after the Humans of Old Earth were liberated from the control of a foreign power, they now thrive hand in hand with the Eran Federation. After being exploited for all of its resources by the invading power, Old Earth has long been designated as one of the several waste dumps within the Galactic Quadrant ruled by the Federation. Long disposed of by those meant to look after him, August Field, a descendent of Old Earth, is sent back to his origins where survival is dependent on luck and fate, and water is just as scarce as the presence of life. Surrounded by what is the remnants of what was once a thriving planet, all of August's present academic understanding is limited by Old Earth's lacking development. August's entire world view is upturned when he encounters a liquid metal artifact that had landed and settled on the abandoned planet. When the artifact assimilates with August, technological information that appears to be eons more developed than that of Old Earth, and from the few memories he has of his life before the wasteland, tens of millenniums further than the Eran Federation. What are the secrets behind this artifact? From where did it come? Who had the ability to create something as advanced as this artifact? And how far will will others go to get their hands on it? *** There will be several chapters in the beginning that try to give context to the world before the main character is introduced. I recommend that they be read simply for the sake of understanding the world in the novel just a little better. Hang in there and you will meet the MC soon enough! Thanks for giving this novel a hot
