{New Quest!!}
{ Friend Of Wisp }{Deep inside the millennia-old Long Bark forest the Wisp of Spirit has always lived and dwell in peace. But recently there's something that disturbed the peace of this peace-loving being, find and eliminate the source of the disturbance.}{Reward: Flying Land plot.}{Penalty: Full wrath of the Lich & Curse of the Undead cast on your soul.}I carefully study the new quest that I gained a few seconds ago. It has been a long time since I got a quest issued to me, it is kinda exciting to get one, also the reward is something called 'Flying Land-Plot' which no matter how it sound, it was more than enough to pique my interest. Up until now, to be honest, I already have different thought of rewards, money wasn't something that can move me, I am more keen on receiving another ty"What the frick?… this thing is just…spooky…I have never seen monster's like this…it looks like an undead, but not really…also what with the head?… they look like an octopus from the sea…hey Sasu, you know what this is?…". (Alehandro)After the whole battle was over, under my order, Alehandro dragged the dead corpse of one of the Seeds of the Deep Ones into our Campsite which the barrier has been closed."...beat me…the body compositions look like zombie…but according to my observation earlier..their reaction speed and action were more inclined to a ghoul…but for some reason, I think it's wasn't both…". (Sasu)Sasu or the Beaver clan as a whole, were now indeed the expert on Undead monster, now that they were provided with the knowledge from my database and modern knowledge, the Beaver clan has 2 important roles in Aeternum, one is the provider of super-agent that all
Although at first the aim for this exploration was to find the Lich, somehow after getting the mission/Quest from T.A.S the objectives have changed to save as many Wisp of Spirit I can. Luckily, I don't really need to work hard to keep the Wisp safe, because for some unknown and mysterious reason whenever we find a Wisp, it would naturally fly to me and follow me around. As if I was some kind of magnet, the Wisp will always float around me and will not separate themselves away."With this many Wisp around…, we should just forget about going covert…". (Sasu)He grumbles as he pokes at the ball of harmless fire that hovers around him."Still, at least we don't have to worries about not wondering in the dark…with these hundreds of these little guys around it feels like we got a portable spotlight to illuminate our way…". (Alehandro)On the other side, Alehandro feels like he was some kid that just fascinated at the
As we walk further and further into the woods, along the way we have saved countless Wisp of Spirit that we encountered along the way. As well as saving the defenseless Wisp of Spirit that seemingly knowing their way towards me, we also have killed an uncountable amount of both undead monsters and the Seed of the Deep Ones.One thing that we certain for sure is that we are closing in on the Undead Lich and probably the Dynasty Altar. Because the numbers and the frequency of undead monsters that we encounter have been largely in numbers and often comes towards us. on the other hand, The Seed of the Deep Ones already almost got to the point of non-existence."Hold…Sasu go get the vantage points…I feel that we are getting closer to the Lich and the Dynasty Altar…".I stopped the track, as I realize that the ground surfaced has gotten more solids and flat as if it was regularly used to move around. In the glance of my sight I also se
"Can't we just get our own corpse bag?…I mean, why do we both have to use one?..". (Alehandro)"so that the chance's of us getting separated were lowered…also both of you were small, so it's better to use just one…or do you want to go around and hunt for another hour?…No right?..so shut up and just stay still in there…".The plan to enter the Tower was fairly simple and easy. It was simply being smuggled in by the undeads, after carefully observing the undead movements for about 2 hours or so, I have discovered that undead will be going out from the town to find a fresh corpse to be brought back, the corpse then will be brought directly to the tower doorstep, and then it would be revived by the Lich, just so the undeads numbers will continued to stabilize and maintained.The undeads was simply doesn't have any capability of intellect, it's only hunt and roaming around, even the Wraith, Zombies and Ghoul, which I con
"Psst..slowly..". As I've already the only one who's outside the carcass, I help Sasu and Alehandro opened up their hiding place. Both of them slowly crawl out from the Boar monster carcass and also kneel on the ground. The Undeads horde outside doesn't know where we were, because of thanks to the placing of the carcass we were hidden from the outside views.After we were ready to move, I looked at the tower, surprisingly the tower does not have an entrance door. The entrance was just opened up for anyone to enter without any resistance at all, seeing both of them ready to move, I take the lead and enter the tower.We all move in silence, the inside of the tower was very dark, but thanks to our night vision goggle, traversing what normally hard for normal people was easy for us. The ground floor of the tower has nothing, it was just an empty floor, devoid of any objects, no moss, no debris, nothing. Seeing there's no resistance to us, I continued le
Our discreet ascend the tower continues slowly after getting passed the 2ndfloor which we named a freezer, the next floor which is the 3rd
“...ohh~ well, for a Lich you definitely does not match the usual descriptions of the Overlord of Death…”.For certain the Lich before me was different from what I expected. It is much more appropiate to called him a well mannered uncle rather than an Overlord of Death.
Hearing there’s a nations openly against the Church Of Light and won against them in a war, was shocking to the Lich, He who once that had the experience of how dirty and powerful the Church Of Light was astound to hear such amazing thing took place outside from his little forest.The Lich were actually a survivor of the Black Keep Empire, once he served as one of the royal butler
“Do you hear that?”the man asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. His wife tilted her head, confused.“Hear what?”“Exactly,”he said with a small smile.“No cries, no screams, no clashing of swords. Just... peace.”She leaned her head against his shoulder, her own smile forming.“Maybe this is where we can finally start again.”For the refugees, Gust City wasn’t just a city; it was a promise of what their lives could become—a life of safety, hope, and renewal under the watchful governance of Aeternum.The Gust Ducal Palace stood as a beacon of Aeternum’s prosperity within the Western Region of Alemia. Its grand architecture, a blend of Alemia’s traditional designs and Aeternum’s modern sensibilities, reflected the harmony achieved under Duke Oliver Gust’s leadership. Within its marble halls, the duke’s study served as a sanctuary for strategy and reflection.Seated within the study’s richly adorned walls, Duke Oliver Gust and General Lucas shared an air of camaraderie, their conver
The city of Gust, the capital of the Western Region, radiated an aura of peace and prosperity that seemed almost otherworldly to those who had known nothing but strife. The towering walls stood strong yet inviting, adorned with the Aeternum insignia—a symbol that had come to mean safety and order to the Alemia people.As they passed through the gates, the refugees were greeted by sights and sounds that filled their hearts with hope. Cobblestone streets bustled with activity, but not the chaotic kind they had fled from. This was the lively hum of a thriving community: merchants hawking their wares, children laughing as they played, and townsfolk chatting amicably by fountains that sparkled in the midday sun.An elderly man, his face lined with the hardships of life in the war-torn northern regions, clutched his walking stick tightly as he stopped to take it all in.“Is this... really Alemia?”he asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. His daughter, holding her infant child close to
Unlike the other regions, where battles and skirmishes carved paths to liberation, the Western Region of Alemia had never known the chaos of war during this conflict. This serene anomaly could be attributed to the Gust Ducal Family, led by its dignified patriarch, Duke Oliver Gust.From the very beginning of Alemia’s Civil War, Duke Oliver Gust had pledged his allegiance to Aeternum, a decision that would forever shape the fate of the Western Region. The Duke, a good statesman and a visionary leader, recognized early on the transformative potential of Aeternum governance. By aligning his house with Aeternum and swearing loyalty to its President, he not only secured the safety of his lands but also elevated his status to the Governor of Alemia.Under his leadership, the Western Region flourished. It became a shining example of what could be achieved under Aeternum’s rule—an oasis of peace, stability, and prosperity in a nation otherwise marred by war.The Western Alemia Region stood as
“The President’s arrival always signals a shift in momentum. Whatever he has planned, it will undoubtedly be decisive.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees.“I don’t know about you, Giuseppe, but I’m itching to get started. The Central Region won’t know what hit them.”. (General Eliza)Giuseppe laughed lightly.“I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, General. Your energy is infectious. Though I must admit, I share your enthusiasm. The Eternal Night Division is ready to stand by your side, as always.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza’s cheerful expression softened slightly, revealing a glimpse of her focused resolve.“Then let’s make sure everything is in place. When the President gives the word, I want the Northern Front to move like a storm.”. (General Eliza)While the Northern Front basked in the unchallenged dominance of the Aeternum Royal Air Force, the Southern Front was marked by grueling ground and naval warfare. Yet, under
The Northern Region of Alemia had become a bastion of order and stability under Aeternum’s relentless advance. Every step taken by the Aeternum forces under General Eliza’s leadership left a lasting mark—one of liberation and peace.Villages that once cowered under the shadow of constant raids now thrived. Markets reopened, children played in the streets, and trade routes flourished. The Aeternum forces didn’t just sweep through the land; they rebuilt it. Engineers, medics, and diplomats followed close behind the military, ensuring that each liberated territory was integrated seamlessly into the growing Aeternum domain.Enemy resistance, while sporadic, was met with calculated force. Eliza’s forces didn’t simply eliminate the threat; they dismantled the very foundations of the enemy’s control. Supply lines were cut, strongholds reduced to rubble, and leadership decapitated with precision strikes.It was no wonder that whispers of Aeternum’s inevitability began to spread. To the Alemia
The heavy doors of Georgina Castle closed behind me as I ascended to the upper floors, the weight of the day finally settling in. The castle’s architecture, a blend of medieval grandeur and modern Aeternum design, offered a commanding view of Georgina City. I stepped onto the balcony, the cool night air brushing against my face, and gazed out over the bustling city.“(Georgina has changed. Not long ago, these streets were plagued with crime and fear. Now, even at this hour, the lights shine brightly, and the sound of laughter echoes through the air.)”The city was alive. Markets remained open, their lanterns casting warm glows over vendors and customers alike. Groups of travelers from the surrounding regions roamed the streets, marveling at the safety and vibrancy that had become synonymous with Georgina.As I observed the scene, I reflected on the strategic importance of Georgina City. It wasn’t just another victory; it was a key to the eastern region of Alemia.“(Larger than New Sun
“Welcome back Your Highness…,”. (Major Fontana)Fontana said, his voice filled with respect. Lieutenant Colonel Selie stood tall beside him, her crisp uniform and confident demeanor a reflection of her discipline and efficiency. As my second in command, she had always been dependable, but it was her initiative and sharp mind that made her invaluable.“Selie,”.I said with a nod.“I trust everything has been handled in my absence?”.She stepped forward, falling into step beside me as we made our way to Georgina Castle.“Your Highness, I ensured that the troops stayed active during the lull. With the soldiers under my command, we eradicated every criminal faction and enemy cell within the city and its outskirts.”. (Lt. Colonel Selie)Selie’s report was precise, but her words carried a quiet pride.“The city is now completely secure. Trade routes are open, and the citizens are thriving. Georgina City isn’t just holding steady—it’s flourishing. Your troops are the reason for that.”. (Lt.
“I heard you were in your office,”. (Elijah)she began, her voice like a soft melody.“I thought you were supposed to be on the frontline.”. (Elijah)I rose to greet her, taking her hand in mine.“I decided to tackle the backlog first…You know, since I am here now… The frontline will wait—it’s moving at a deliberate pace anyway.”Her lips curved into a small smile, but her eyes lingered on me with concern.“You’ve been working yourself too hard. You didn’t even let anyone know you were coming back.”. (Elijah)Before I could reply, she gestured, and moments later, the kitchen staff entered, carrying trays laden with a sumptuous lunch.“I took the liberty of arranging this,”. (Elijah)she said, her tone light yet commanding.“You’ll eat properly today.”. (Elijah)I chuckled, guiding her to the table by the window.“You always know how to manage me, don’t you?”As we sat down to eat, the conversation shifted to lighter matters. Elijah’s grace and elegance made every interaction with her
“The Riverside Region will do just that. The fisheries will create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation in aquaculture. This isn’t just a project—it’s a movement toward a better future.”. (Andrea)As the meeting concluded, Andrea and the ministers were jubilant. Plans were already being set in motion to announce the news to the public, and excitement rippled through the Ministry.For me, the moment was bittersweet.“(Every step forward is a reminder of the distance yet to be traveled. But if the people can find joy in these small victories, then perhaps we’re on the right path.)”Sitting at the grand desk in the Ministry of Resource headquarters, I allowed myself a brief moment of satisfaction. Approving their proposals had been straightforward, but the significance of these decisions would ripple across Aeternum for years to come.“(This is what true leadership is about—empowering others to excel while maintaining control of the vision.)”I had barely spent an hour
