“What do you mean by that, Miss Park?..Vanished into the background..”. (Eun Ji)“well…unlike what many thought…President Mies..not like any of the rich people you meet or worked for…he is an enigma…he is straight forward…and also Kind…but he also a very particular person…and preferred to take anything as a literally said stuff…so when you said the words ‘Served’…like a lot of people said it before…you have to commit to that words before him….if you do…then…it’s good…of you don’t..then…you will stay as a grunt in these company..forever and ever…He didn’t joke around when it comes to works…and also…unpredictable…”. (Park Zuo Yung)Eun Ji listened very carefully on the very little tidbits about the Company owner and president. Surely his personality is rather odd for the people of his status. When Eun Ji and her Squad mates were picked for these assignment, they have read the President Profiles and what to know about him. But of then times such manuals barely covers anything on the subj
“Ahem…I apologize, Sir…Nice to meet you Sir…I am VVIP 01 Squad Leader from the Risk Management Department, The Safety and Protections Team…Park Eun Ji…”. (Eun Ji)Despite the sudden awkwardness that were caused by Eun Ji getting flustered by the first thing that President Mies Sai words, Eun Ji smoothly introduced herself.“Hmm..Nice to meet you too, Miss Eun Ji….you flustered too easily…compared to your…rather interesting appearance…you seems rather…meek…..any way…let’s go…”.President Mies and Park Eun Ji shake hands for the first time, but again, President Mies comment about her send her into bewilderment again. Park Eun Ji were nervous the whole times and barely able to squeezed out a few words for herself. After all, President Mies isn’t only a person that is her big boss, the someone who she works for, President Mies also have some other significant image in her life. Hence she weren’t able to hold herself together when he speaks in a very straight forward manner. President Mies
Park Eun Ji isn’t all that suspicious at all. In fact she is a rather normal employee of Virtue Financial, like any employee of Virtue Financial, those that were abnormally talented or highly competent individuals, all of them that join Virtue Financial have their own story. And her in particular, is probably one of the many cases where the second she enters Virtue Financial, her loyalty is unshakable, the kind of people that wholeheartedly believed in Virtue Financial and worshiped it like some kind of a miracle. The other type of employee, is just the normal kind of employee, and another were spies, that was about it when it comes to Virtue Financial employee type.“Seeing you making a full recovery like these…Kinda sooth my heart a little bit…the last time I say you…you were all wrapped up in bandages like mummy…on top of that…those cancer…at what stage is it again?..”.“Stage 3, Breast Cancer, Sir….I can’t believe you still remember me…I…look really different back then…”. (Park Eu
“Hearing that my casual remarks actually sparks the life out of you…I guess that’s great enough…By the way…did Risk Management recently made a make over?…The place looks nice…”.As we finally stepped into the Risk Management Department Offices, I realizes that the decorations and even the entire looks were all different now, if before the main color were all black and dark, right now, everything is white in color, sophisticated and elegant to put it simply. Then again it fit the theme after all they were no longer a secret existence that they had to hide from everyone and me.“Well, they received billions of dollars of budget from you…it’s given that Director Choi Jin Su would change the theme….”. (Park Zuo Yung)Park Zuo Yung remarks is given, naturally the budgets that almost seems endless contributes to the changes. I don’t really mind about the cosmetics, the result is much more important to me. As we in the long Hallway, right at the receptions desk leading to the office, behind
One thing led to another, Park Eun Ji never once thought in her entire life that she would be in these kind of a situations.Currently she were in the arms of President Mies Sai, her fall wasn’t all hurt at all, instead it looks rather romantic, it looks like a scene coming out of romantic drama. She was being held in a princess carry style in the arms of President Mies, in front of everyone that she knows in her department. She was looking like a docile princess right now, she were stunned and all that she can do, out of reflex at the moment and right now has stayed that way, was both of her hand were around president Mies Sai neck, and her face buried on his chest.“WELCOME, PRESIDENT MIES!!…”. (Director Choi Jin Su & all)In unison, as everyone sees the person that clearly the one who responsible for asking that they portrait to be removed were standing before all of them. Led by Choi Jin Su, everyone greeted him in unison, respectfully bowing at 45 degrees, clearly ignoring the cur
“Risk Management Department, has already make sure that nothing will be able to be alter from the plans that we have devised…For all of the candidates that we were supporting…currently all of them as been safely proceeding to the second phase of the plans…So far, for the Unified Youth Party…all 3 of our candidates is leading the approval ratings by 89%…leaving all the other rivals behind…”. (Kim Yeon Seo)I can say for sure that everything has been proceeding smoothly the entire time these plans has been operational. Choi Jin Su leadership and expertise on these kind of matters, is rather impressive, almost reaching the standard of T.A.S and myself planning. Her moves is practical, logical and precise.“..How about the media social and internet side?…do we have control on that side too?…”.“Yes we did…our Specialist has been monitoring everything, regarding anything that related to our candidates….any sort of rumour, allegations, scandals…were removed as soon as it was posted…on top o
“.….Wait..What?…So all these is because love between, Park Yung Tae and Kim Hyun Nee?..Can..that actually happened?…I mean..isn’t there some other realistic reason other than love?..”. (Park Min Su)Park Min Su wasn’t the only person in these room that also have the same thought as him. After all these is a real life situation would someone really willing to go that far for love and emotions. On top of that when both me and Choi Jin Su were speaking of it on the same wavelength that is making everyone even more confused.“No other reason really?…often times..emotions makes every person moved…some more than others…emotions is a strong motivations…Love?…it can even make you kill someone without blinking an eye…”.“What President Mies said..is true…her emotion is genuine and so does the boy..Sometimes…things are just that simple….”. (Choi Jin Su)“Woah…really…that’s…just…”. (Park Min Su)Park Min Su were speechless right now, and everybody in the room also feel the same, at these point,
The atmosphere inside the meeting room has somewhat changed from a rather chaotic one, to now seems to be a little bit more relax, perhaps from the start everyone never really felt the oppressing vibes that usually happened when they meet me. To be honest, the last time that we all meet, there would usually be Catherine or Ran Hyun Ok beside me, and I rarely talk too much, hence the feeling of facing against the big bosses were rather tense, but right now, I am giving out the rather chill vibes so everyone can easily let out their true self before me and giving out opinion normally.“So are you meeting with Park Kyun Tae today, Sir?..”. (Choi Jin Su)“That’s the plan…”.“But how are you going to do that?..that guy is nowhere to be found…and Candidate Kim Hyun Nee never disclosed his locations to us…even we can’t figure out where she hide him..”. (Kim Yeon Seo)“Hmm?…Oh that…well, I just have to find him..that’s all…just like did with most stuff like these…Sometimes, finding someone…i
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
