The 8th Family, the rulers of global media, offered Anastasia complete control over news, entertainment, and narratives.
She would now decide what the world believed to be true or false.
The 7th Family, the overlords of global trade, gifted her dominion over the movement of precious resources—gold, diamonds, rare metals, even clean water reserves.
The 6th Family, a dynasty of technological prodigies, presented her with something even more terrifying.
They handed her prototype technology that hadn't even been developed yet—AI systems, surveillance tech that could monitor the world in real-time, and cybernetic enhancements that could extend her lifespan indefinitely.
💬 "This is insanity."
💬 "She isn't just ruling the present… she's securing her dominion over the future."
The 5th Family, the rulers of pharmaceuticals and medicine, handed her vials containing genetic research so advanced it could rewrite human evolution itself.
The 4th Family, the merchants of war and death, presented Anastasia with a private army—one that had never lost a battle in history.
An elite force that answered only to her.
💬 "She controls life. She controls death."
💬 "No ruler, not even the great kings of history, has ever held this much power."
And still, the greatest gifts were yet to come.
