Sam sat on his throne within The Abyss Citadel, his eyes fixed on the massive world map projected before him. The room pulsed with energy as data poured in — names, faces, locations — all tied to the global underworld. From back-alley smugglers to international crime lords, every major player was exposed.
They thought they ruled in silence.
But now, he was watching.
[DING! Phase One of Global Infiltration: INITIATED.]
All across the world, dark portals opened in silence. His summoned human operatives emerged like ghosts — wearing no emblems, leaving no traces. They were trained in every known form of warfare, hacking, manipulation, and information extraction.
Each unit had a single command:
"Submit them or erase them."

Sicily, Italy – 1:03 AM
The powerful Don Vitorio family — rulers of arms smuggling across Europe — were in the middle of a private feast when the lights died.
Twenty-two guards armed to the teeth surrounded the compound. But in exactly forty-three seconds, every one of them was gone. The Don was found kneeling, surrounded by fifty silver-eyed warriors, forced to sign an oath of loyalty written in obsidian blood.

Hong Kong – 3:20 AM
The Jade Claw Triad's entire digital empire was hacked, seized, and replaced by a single screen:
"You now serve the Abyss Empire."
Within an hour, their warehouses and hidden labs were overtaken — the surviving lieutenants executed.

Siberia, Russia – 5:50 AM
An underground drug factory exploded, erasing the Red Ice Syndicate from history. No one saw who did it. But every camera in the world picked up a message in twenty languages:
"Kneel or vanish."

Back at the Citadel, Sam watched it all unfold.
[DING! Underworld Control Progress: 16.2% and rising.]
[Reward: Shadow Fortress Blueprint Unlocked.]
[New Ability: Obsidian Coin – Issue your own black-market currency.]
Sam smiled darkly. "Begin distribution. From now on, the world trades with my coin. Remove any gang refusing to convert."
With every conquest, his power grew. Every loyal syndicate was enhanced — weapons upgraded, territory expanded, wealth multiplied — all controlled by Sam's system.
He wasn't just taking over the underworld.
He was rebuilding it — in his image.
And soon, he would emerge from the shadows.
Let the world call him a villain. A monster. A tyrant.
Because when the dust settles…
There will be no rulers left. Only Sam Carter.
