Legacy of Blackwood – Synopsis

Decades after Chris Blackwood reshaped the world, his empire stands unrivaled, with its influence stretching across nations. The Blackwood Union rules with absolute authority, dictating the course of history itself. But as the throne transitions to a new ruler, the balance of power shifts, and old alliances are tested.

Ethan Carter, the trusted right hand of Chris, has been named the new Supreme Ruler. With his appointment comes the weight of expectation, the burden of maintaining an empire built on dominance, and the whispers of betrayal lurking in the shadows.

Classic Blackwood and Christiana Blackwood—each with their own vision for the future—must decide where their loyalties lie. Skylar Blackwood, ever watchful, remains a force to be reckoned with, her ambitions far from fulfilled.

But as external threats rise and internal conflicts brew, the question remains: Will the Legacy of Blackwood thrive under new leadership, or will it collapse under the weight of its own power?

A tale of loyalty, ambition, and the price of absolute rule—Legacy of Blackwood begins.

It started with a ripple—just whispers in the market square, like the breeze before a storm.


I stood by my stall, arranging fresh spices, when I heard the news from a man who wore an ironed tunic and spoke like he worked close to someone important.


"The God Himself has spoken," he said with pride, "Taxes are coming. A sign of order. Of balance."


At first, I didn't know how to feel. I was one of the lucky ones. I had received a home in District Nine during the great redistribution. I'd even been given ten thousand Blackwood Credits the day His Grace walked through the streets handing out wealth like rain.


I knew—nothing given freely would stay without cost.


In the town square, BNN ran clips of the council meeting.

Some grumbled. Others whispered of caution.


The School Teacher's POV – Later That Day


I paused my lesson when the kids grew restless. The news had reached even the youngest ears.


"Sir, is it true? Are they taking back the money?"


"No, child. They're not taking it back. They're building the future—with us."


They didn't fully grasp it, but I did. When wealth floods in without responsibility, corruption brews. The God knew this. He was too wise not to.


This tax wasn't a punishment—it was discipline. The kind that separates empires from kingdoms, rulers from legends.


Back to the Council Room – Dictator Christiana's POV


I watched as Chris stood at the head of the table the next morning. The decrees had been drafted—perfectly worded, precise, powerful.


He dipped the Blackwood quill into ink and, with a single motion, changed the structure of the world once again.


He signed The Blackwood Equal Contribution Decree.


"Let them pay. Let them learn that in an empire—loyalty isn't just feeling. It is action. It is contribution. It is shared power."


And we, the highest minds of the Blackwood Empire, remained seated… in complete silence. Thinking. Processing. Obeying.
