ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
The City of Bahar Usuq
The city of Bahar Usuq is a powerful city located in the northern region of China. The city became famous for its great warrior heroes, brave fighters capable of destroying an entire town in a single battle. It is also widely known for its powerful sorcerers, masters of mystical magic and occult knowledge.
For many generations, powerful and noble kings ruled the city of Bahar Usuq. However, every one of them lost their lives while pursuing a single ambition—a goal that none of them was ever able to achieve.
Seeing how previous rulers kept losing their lives because of this ambition made later kings more cautious about pursuing it.
King Urwat bin Shamraz became the twenty-fifth king of Bahar Usuq.
King Urwat was an exceptionally strong and fearless ruler, a man of great physical strength and deep knowledge of dark magic and mystical arts. Because of the large number of loyal warriors he gathered—humans, spirits, and even beasts—he became a king whom neighboring kingdoms could not defeat.
The city of Bahar Usuq gained an extraordinary level of protection. Not even a small bird could enter the city without the permission of King Urwat. Many nations attempted to attack Bahar Usuq, but none of their soldiers ever managed to leave the city alive.
The great walls of the city were built using the blood of powerful warriors who attacked the city and lost their lives in battle.
The King’s Chamber
It was a medium-sized chamber decorated entirely with precious jewels. The room contained nothing except three chairs. The one in the center was the largest, crafted with pure gold, while the two chairs beside it were smaller.
Sitting on the central throne was King Urwat himself. He wore a light robe, his face uncovered and his head without a turban. His face was full of dignity and authority. His strong hands were clenched, and with just one look at him you could see the courage and bravery of a true king.
On both sides of him stood two young men who looked almost identical, as if they were twins.
In front of the throne stood a very old man, thin and frail, with long white hair that merged into his long beard. With his head lowered, he began speaking.
The Forbidden Ambition
“My lord,” the old man said, “you must remember that this ambition has existed since the time of your fifth grandfather. For more than three thousand three hundred and sixty years, no one who attempted to achieve this ambition has ever returned alive.”
Before the old man could finish speaking, King Urwat shouted angrily. The thunderous shout made the old man stumble. Trembling, he raised his head and said:
“Forgive me, my lord. This ambition concerns only one thing — the conquest of the city of Kangiwa. Among all the kingdoms of our continent, there is no city that equals it in wealth and power.”
“The throne of that city is not an ordinary throne. My lord, it was built upon the grave of the King of the Jinn, the King of the world’s sorcerers, and twelve great war kings. The throne itself was crafted above them.”
“My lord, the reason kings desire to possess that city is simple: whoever rules the city of Kangiwa will have control over every ambition in this world. Whatever that king desires will surely come to pass.”
