One craves absolute freedom. While the other demands absolute control. They both seek the world in their own ways. Two men. Two paths to absolute power. When they meet each other, who's to say, Who is the Protagonist—and who is the Antagonist? And should the Protagonist win or the Monster? Author’s Note: This story has a dual-lead structure focusing on two morally grey protagonists climbing to the apex of power. Rather than a simple "hero vs. villain" ,you will see the complete journey of both characters. Which ideal is truly better for mankind—absolute freedom or absolute order? I’ll let you guys decide. Expect: Dual MCs | Scheme & Manipulation | Betrayal & Hidden Identities | Complex Morality.
