By no means at all the meeting agenda with Choi Han Na bothers me, in fact, her bringing another hands into her campaign will be much more helping to me than to her. With her initiative, I can actually have more hands and eyes on the government with me lifting any finger at all. It was a win win situations for both sides. She might think that with these moves, it would lessen my grips on her thinking that now that more were on board with her plans, she would have more fire power to go against me. While in reality, none of her moves will change anything at all, the seconds that she agreed to joined hand with me, at that moments, I already owned her and the presidency. Simple as that, naturally, I am unlike any other corporation that wanted to use these advantages for their personal gains, meaning every single thing.For me and Virtue Financial, the Presidency is just a simple wall of stability. Virtue Financial doesn’t need money of assistance to do it’s business, I and Virtue Financia
“So far until now..there’s barely any significant movement for any law enforcement…on the affected area…especially those that were constantly in turmoils….they intentionally avoiding the areas….all because of the elections season…”. (Choi Jin Su)“Of course they did…because real life..isn’t a drama…where heroes was here and there…even police has to treasure their lives….beside…nowadays…it was rather important to protect the elections than to apprehend a bunch of gangsters fighting each others…all they had to do..is just covering them up…when the elections period were on it’s heights…only then those opportunist people will come out and deal with the problem for publicity…”.From Choi Jin Su reports, the developments on the case is rather slow on the exposure side. The case did not gain traction on the mainstream media, all because the elections season were kicking off in full swing. But that does not means people wasn’t aware of the White Star Entertainment games. As a matter of fact,
“Looks like everyone is here…It’s okay…have a seat and get comfortable…no need to stand up for me…”.When the dinner time comes, together with Choi Jin Su behind me, we entered the dining room, inside it seems that everyone were having a good time, having conversations with each others. Catherine naturally were doing just as excellence as she is communications, and making others like her in these kind of setting. As I entered the room, all the attentions turned to me, and like a universal response all of them just started to stands up and greet me. In which I dismissed rather quite fast, although these is my house and also I were the one that hold the power on them. People tend to views people positively when you treated them kindly and with respect.“How’s the dinner?…is it to you all liking?…sorry that I missed it…I have to many matters to attend to today…I hope you all won’t be offended by that..”.I was half a lie, because yes, I were held back because of work and also, when it co
When it comes to the topic of talking about the new terns with me, naturally Choi Han Na would try to be careful of what she were asking for from me, she couldn’t asked for a ridiculous things or more support other than what I have already promised to to her previously. But now things are different, when we made a deal before, it was me who takes the initiative to propose the deals and in returns she comes up with her demands and proposal while I sat there and agreeing to everything. Now the game has changed, she has now bring other people into our supposed to be secret dealings that we are agreed upon before, so, at the moment the power balance has changed.“My..party…will need a bigger support on these election, Mister Mies…but it is without any reason..both Lee Hon Kil and Kim Hyun Nee…has a potential and even a track records of successful elections..now…with the 2 of them on my side and in my party…the prospect of me winning the presidential elections…will be brighter than ever b
For those who are outside the sphere looking at these conversations, it might seems like I am threatening them, but actually I wasn’t, because I Choi Han Na really does leaks my identity again, I would have her terminated at once and it would happen faster than she would’ve thought so. I am not playing with words here, and I am sure that both of the two that were beside Choi Han Na understood what just happened, from their face expression it was very clear that they both started to feel fear of me.“If you said so..then, I would hold on to your words once again..Miss Choi Han Na…now, you were planning to win the elections with Mister Lee Hon Kil and Madam Kim Hyun Nee right?…”.“Yes…we have already comes to an agreements…when I run for the presidency…Madam Kim Hyun Nee would run for the Vice President and Mister Lee Hon Kil would run for the Prime Minister….that is the plan…that way…we would occupy all the largest positions in the office at once…securing the Blue House..”. (Choi Han N
Truthfully, Choi Han Na is gambling right now, because I can see that in her eyes and what she’s thinking is that she really thinks about dominating the Blue House for her win. She has took of the considerations of what the resistance that she and her party would be facing at that time, still she have high expectations that Virtue Financial can make that happened for her and everything can be achieved. Sure, Virtue Financial will be able to make that happened, putting her on the presidential seats and also supporting her choice of appointment for her 2 colleagues.But let’s be real, surely when she does that the others can see what she is trying to do. And for sure that everyone would go up against her, they would even united on taking her down no matter what. Just because I can make it happened, doesn’t mean that it was the best choice to do. Her plan were sound, but not accurate, because the consequences is to much to bear for her and for Virtue Financial, if we continues with her p
At times people need some reality check to keep themselves grounded and in line. That is what I’ve done to Lee Hon Kil, and it works like a wonder, with him no longer looking directly at me but rather darting his eyes all over the floor whilst smiling awkwardly. Meanwhile Kim Hyun Nee is also avoiding my attention at her best, she too know that since I can find some dirt on Lee Hon Kill that even herself doesn’t know about. It meant that I also know about her little secrets. Naturally, since she kept herself in check before me, I wouldn’t go as far to humiliate her for no reasons.“i am not saying you cannot dream big…but, if you wanted to do so…do it with your own effort…and don’t piggy backing my plans…One thing that all of you have to remember…you are striking a deal with me….and I and Miss Choi Han Na had a mutual understanding in these agreements….don’t try to take anything more than were given to you…All I need is someone in power….that would do something for me once…when I told
“Well…since you guys brings up that you wanted to monopolize the Blue House…that fact’s alone has tell me a lot of what you wanted to do…So it is rather simple…Choi Han Na will be the president…then one of you will become the Vice President…since it’s already warranted itself…and then…another one of you…should be a little bit farther away…but still hold a positions that can influence a lot of things…and that positions is Ministry of National Defense….which happens…a position that will give you guys a lot of advantages…especially….control..”.Choi Han Na still maintained her calm expression, but everyone can see that her emotional state has changed from downcast to now beaming with excitement. For Kim Hyun Nee, the moment I mentioned the positions of Ministry of National Defense, her eyes already sparkling with anticipation, as if saying that she wanted to hold that office, because, just like I have said before. Holding an office that oversees the nation safety entirely, on top of that
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”B
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternum’s growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexist—that magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
Madeline, another single mother, found herself equally overwhelmed—but for an entirely different reason. Back in the Empire, food was a luxury.If you were lucky, you had stale bread, old vegetables, or a tiny scrap of meat to share with your family. Shopping for food was never a choice—you simply took whatever was available and prayed that it would last.But in Aeternum’s markets, things were completely different.One afternoon, she stood frozen in the middle of a supermarket aisle, staring at the endless rows of fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and even exotic spices from other parts of the world.She could hardly comprehend what she was looking at.It wasn’t just that there was food available—it was the sheer abundance of it. She felt anxious. Lost. Uncertain.She turned to the store worker nearby, a cheerful young woman dressed in the green uniform of Haven Mart, the government-affiliated grocery chain."How… how do I know what to pick?" Madeline asked hesitantly.The
Beyond just housing, Project Haven was an ecosystem of opportunity.Officer Calloway continued explaining the many opportunities available to the refugees:Public schools were being built for their children, where education was free for all—boys and girls alike. Aeternum-funded hospitals offered medical care without cost, something unheard of in the Empire. Job training programs had already started, helping former farmers, craftsmen, and even soldiers find new roles in society.And, most importantly—There were no nobles.No ruling elite to oppress them.No forced conscription, no tax collectors stripping them of their hard-earned food, no death sentences for speaking against a ruler.For the first time in history, these people were citizens, not subjects.As the tour ended, Calloway clapped his hands together and smiled."Any questions?" he asked.The refugees remained silent, overwhelmed.Mara stepped forward, her heart pounding."How can we repay this kindness?" she asked.Calloway
