The system calls him an anomaly. The system is right to be afraid.
Cael returns to Ironward carrying proof that the guild's power runs on stolen lives.
The disappeared were not simply killed. They were absorbed, converted into fuel for the ranked elite who enforce the system that consumed them.
Now the truth is spreading.
The lower districts are beginning to rise. The guild is tightening its grip. And the Capital has sent Thessa Kord, a Silver Rank agent with borrowed power, absolute authority, and one purpose: make the anomaly disappear.
But Cael is no longer just a problem the guild can contain.
He is an Ironbound Sovereign at 47% Humanity Integrity, more machine than boy, paying for every stat point in his own flesh while the "heroes" above him draw strength from people who never consented to the cost.
Every advancement makes him stronger.
Every upgrade leaves less of him behind.
And every step toward Silver Rank brings him closer to a threshold no Ironbound has crossed and remained themselves.
The insurrection does not need a leader. It needs proof.
Cael is the proof.
