Chapter 1 - Prologue: The Covenant of Mist and Blood

They say London never sleeps, but the truth is it merely hides behind its thick fog, as if washing its sins in the murky waters of the Thames. In the nineteenth century, gold coins were not just pieces of metal; they were the heartbeat of the Empire. And he who controlled that heartbeat controlled life and death itself.

The Ferguson family was more than just a merchant dynasty; they were the "Lords of the Seas and Guardians of the Deals." They built their glory with sharp intellect and a secret that no one dared to utter—a secret hidden within a ring that glowed only in the hand of its rightful owner, a power that awakened only for the scent of loyal blood.

But greed is the black hole that swallows even the brightest stars. In a night of treachery, written with the ink of betrayal, the "Falcon" who protected the family fell. Lord Arthur Ferguson committed suicide, leaving behind an only son, the ruins of an empire, and a mysterious testament that did not ask for peace... but drew a path to hell.

This is not a story about lost wealth, nor is it a mere tale of a young man claiming his inheritance. It is the epic of "Edward Ferguson," the man who decided to burn the memories of his weakness and ally himself with a "Shadow" from ancient times to wage a merciless war.

On the cobblestone streets of London, where the scent of rain mixes with the smell of gunpowder, everyone will know that stolen rights are not returned through begging; they are reclaimed by the edge of the sword, the mastery of trade, and a servant who sees the world through crimson eyes.

Prepare yourselves... for the "Fergusons" have returned, and this time, the return will leave no one in peace.
