Inside Burrhen, the trio navigates from grand streets to the slums, where their camel draws suspicious glances. Zarah’s excitement fades, and Zainah remains stoic as they reach their home—a repurposed shipping container. Sett bathes, unable to feel the water due to his mummy nature, and Zainah provides him with new clothes. Zarah’s golden bangle bends due to her uncontrolled strength, which Sett fixes. He suggests they explore the city after the sisters bathe, despite Zainah’s desire to sleep, setting the stage for a night out.

Sett playfully pins Zainah to the bed, complimenting her beauty and kissing her neck, only to be interrupted by Zarah’s amused observation. After the sisters bathe, Sett helps dry Zainah’s hair, teasing Zarah as well. That night, they venture into Burrhen’s vibrant nightlife. Cleaned up, Sett attracts attention with his regal presence, while Zarah and Zainah, usually disguised, embrace their beauty at his urging. Zarah dreams of dining at the best restaurant, buying clothes, and visiting a saloon with an Axiom user, plans Sett agrees to fulfill. Zainah feels briefly sidelined but warms to the night’s promise, despite her playful frustration with Sett.

Zarah revels in bliss while Zainah grapples with confusion as Sett treats them to a lavish night—dining at Burrhen’s finest restaurant, buying expensive clothes, and heading to a luxurious saloon. Zarah, stuffed and dressed like a nouveau riche, feels exhilarated, while Zainah, still in her old clothes, grows anxious about the unsustainable extravagance. At the saloon, a pristine marble building, they meet Roman Ron, an Axiom Holder with the power of Skin and Hair.

Sett, cautious yet intrigued, assesses Roman’s weak physical stats but useful abilities—Clear Skin and Deep Hair—which he uses on Zarah and Zainah, treating their skin and hair while knocking them unconscious from exhaustion. Sett bathes in water infused with the Axiom of Cleanliness, emerging refreshed and fragrant. He pays Roman generously, advising him to value his talents, before the trio returns home. Exhausted, Zarah and Zainah sleep on the single bed, clinging to Sett, who meditates through the night.

Zainah wakes up entangled with Sett, embarrassed by her drooling and closeness, though comforted by his embrace. Noticing Zarah’s absence—likely wandering the streets—she’s distracted by Sett’s intoxicating royal cologne, a blend of spices and amber. As she touches his rough-yet-smooth skin, he awakens, teasing her resistance before pulling her closer.

He probes her reaction to Roman’s family name, Ron, which she reveals ties to the noble family she stole from, sparking her unease. When she questions Sett’s intentions, suspicious of his kindness, he carries her outside, ignoring the slum dwellers’ stares. Zainah feels alienated by this happiness, fearing it’s too good to last, as Sett leads her toward breakfast, her doubts lingering.

Sett carries Zainah through the bustling city square to a quiet, upscale restaurant where Zarah awaits, casually eating. Zainah, self-conscious about being carried, hides her face, while Zarah adapts effortlessly to their new lifestyle. When Zainah presses Sett again about his motives, rejecting his claim of simply liking her, he uses a coin flip to challenge her worldview.

Flipping tails repeatedly despite her guesses, he explains that good fortune doesn’t guarantee misfortune next—just as coin flips reset, so does life. He argues Zainah fears happiness because she dreads sadness, a defense mechanism stifling her joy. Moved but hesitant, she accepts food from him, softening as he tends to her gently. A waiter leaves a thorny red flower, symbolizing Zainah’s guarded blooming, which Zarah notices with quiet delight, sensing her sister’s subtle shift.

After breakfast, Sett grows gloomy, unable to taste food due to his mummy state, and observes Burrhen’s changed world, no longer his empire. Walking through the city, he senses something wrong but can’t pinpoint it. Zarah mentions encountering thugs Scar Face and Bulbockon, who fled when she displayed her strength. A familiar, dangerous smell—blood—alerts Sett, intensified when Zarah reveals a masked man gave her a balloon that popped. Suspecting danger, Sett leads the sisters away from the city square.

He questions them about the current Pharaoh, Lon Ronsales Yuhuem, a tyrant with a ghost army. Shining White, a subordinate of Lord Burrhen, appears, warning Zarah to keep quiet about the masked man—a likely ghost—before vanishing. Sett realizes ghosts can now enter cities, a threat to his unprotected, reincarnated family. Scanning the city, he discovers over 50% of its people are possessed, signaling an impending slaughter orchestrated by the Pharaoh and Lord Burrhen. Shining White’s earlier visit suggests an assassin is coming to silence them.

Atop their container home, Shining Black, a Tier 2 ghost with abyssal eyes, confronts Sett and the sisters. Recognizing his strength, Sett orders the girls to scatter while taunting Black. The ghost attacks, overpowering Sett with a devastating punch, but Sett uses gold coins dropped earlier to draw a crowd from the slums, leveraging their presence to deter Black from acting publicly.

Threatening to expose the ghost conspiracy, Sett escapes with the sisters into the city square, supported by Zainah. A bystander reveals Black is Lord Burrhen’s weakest subordinate, hinting at greater threats. Sett, injured but defiant, sees the situation escalate intriguingly despite their new enmity with Burrhen.

Hundreds of years ago, a young Sett, aged 14, rides a carriage through a carnival, admiring the women and dreaming of romance. His mother, Neilara Ramses VI, the blind Empress of Ehyut, reprimands his carefree attitude, slapping him to instill discipline. Known as the Blind Saint, she’s a legendary ruler who secured peace through ruthless strategy.

She warns Sett he can’t escape politics due to his royal blood and Axiom of Reincarnation, a coveted power making him a target. Despite his disinterest in the throne, she insists his kindness and naivety leave him vulnerable, urging him to think critically about his inevitable role in power struggles.

Sett acknowledges his mother’s harsh doting, realizing his Axiom makes him valuable to nobles and royals fearing death. Neilara explains that even with her support, external empires—now breeding Axiom Holders from royal blood—threaten his succession.

If she dies before he ascends, he’d become a slave, a fate she prepares him to avoid by becoming a feared ruler. After a sobering talk, Sett wanders the carnival, questioning girls about leadership but dismissing their shallow answers. His mother’s words shatter his illusions of invincibility, forcing him to confront his privileged yet precarious position as her son.

At 14, Sett is already a Tier 4 Tomb Raider, bolstered by royal resources, though his mother delays his Tier 5 advancement until he masters control. Kidnapped during the carnival, he’s swiftly rescued by his cousin Shephe Ramses, the Shadow Lady, who confirms Neilara’s foresight.

As a bloody assault unfolds, transforming the carnival into a warzone, Neilara emerges, wielding her Axiom of Damnation—summoning millions of phantom swords—to crush the attackers. She declares to Sett that rulers must be feared over loved, as fear ensures loyalty, demonstrating this by executing the rebels. Awestruck, Sett resolves to become Pharaoh, playfully proposing to Shephe, inspired by his mother’s divine power.
