CHAPTER 10: Whispers of Execution
The whispers in King's Landing were a constant hum of fear and anticipation. The King was dead, his Hand, Ned Stark, was imprisoned, and a new King, a boy of cruelty and madness, was on the throne. The city was on a knife's edge, a single spark away from an inferno. Adam, with his Beginner Haki, was in the middle of it all, a ghost in the shadows, a spy in the courts, a player in the game of thrones.
He heard the whispers, the rumors, the tales. He heard of Ned's trial, of his confession, of his impending execution. He heard of a boy king, a boy who was a product of incest, a boy who was a monster, a boy who was about to make a terrible mistake. He heard of a public execution, a public spectacle, a public tragedy. He heard of a hero who was about to die.
He knew this was it. The moment of truth. The moment of action. The moment he had been waiting for. He had to act. He had to be a hero. He had to save Ned.
He had a plan. A crazy, lunatic, Stiles-like plan. He had his Master Haki Cards. He had a plan to use them. A plan to save Ned. A plan to turn the tide of the war. A plan to become the hero.
He was in an alleyway, a small, dark corner of the city, a place where he was a ghost, a shadow. He was training. He was a machine, a robot of pure willpower, a man on a mission. He was punching walls, he was kicking barrels, he was headbutting logs. He was getting stronger. He was getting better. He was getting ready.

Adam felt a surge of power, a rush of energy that made his head swim. He had reached a new milestone. He had reached 1,000 uses for all his Haki types. He was a Beginner, but he was a powerful Beginner. He was a god in this world, a force of nature. He was a hero, and he was getting stronger.
He was in the middle of a training session, a blur of power and speed, when he heard a scream. A woman's scream. A scream of fear. A scream of terror. He used his Observation Haki, a single use, to feel the aura of the woman. She was a tavern girl, a young, innocent girl who was being harassed by a Gold Cloak. He had to act. He had to be a hero. He had to save her.
He slipped out of the alleyway, a ghost in the shadows. He found the tavern girl, a young, terrified girl with a face of pure fear, being pushed against a wall by a Gold Cloak. He was a big man, a brutish man, with a face of pure malice. He was a perfect target. A perfect victim. A perfect opportunity for a hero.
Adam, with a calm, confident stride, approached him. "Hey," he said, his voice a low, steady growl. "I think you should let her go."
The Gold Cloak, surprised, just stared at him. "And who are you, boy? Some hero?"
"I am a man who doesn't like bullies," Adam said, a small smirk on his face. "And I think you should let her go. Or I might have to get involved. And trust me, you don't want me to get involved."
The Gold Cloak, now in a state of confusion and rage, just stared at him, then at the girl. He let her go, his hand a blur of motion. She ran away, a blur of gratitude and fear. The Gold Cloak turned to Adam, his face a mask of pure anger.
Adam, with a mischievous grin on his face, just winked at him. "Time to crash Joffrey's execution party," he said, a low, theatrical whisper. "Time to save the hero. Time to become the hero."
He then disappeared into the shadows, a ghost in the city. The Gold Cloak, now in a state of pure terror, just stared at the empty space where Adam had been standing. He then started to tell his story, a wild, drunken tale of a man who had saved a girl from a bully, a tale that grew in exaggeration with every telling. The city was now a hub of chaos, a mess of fighting and yelling, all because of a single, well-placed rumor.
Adam, now back in his alleyway, just smiled. He had done it. He had caused a minor bit of chaos, he had saved a girl from a bully, and he had earned himself a new ally. The game was on. The plot was happening, but he was a part of it now. He was a hero, a prankster, a chaos agent. He was a player, and the world was his game.
