Our discreet ascend the tower continues slowly after getting passed the 2nd floor 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
"{That ring….how?…is it alive?…It can't be right?…}". (Lich)Baffled and shock at the appearance of the ring on my finger, the Lich was unable to look away, he looked at me and the ring as if salvation was here. But still, in his head, he tried to reason with his emotions, part of him hoping that the ring was fake and part of him wanting the ring to be authentic."{Of course it's active…because only Kaiser can make it alive…}". Seeing him in contemplations, I decide just to activate the ring. Although I can't infuse mana on it, since the ring has been recharged a few times it can be easily activated, the ring if it was activated it will glow with a golden color enlightening its insignia, when the ring was activated, it only functions as spatial dimensional storage and give a little bit of strength buff."{Dear god…Pure high human…}..". (Lich)Seeing me activated the ring c
".…..Wait What??..". (Alehandro & Sasu)Hearing the Lich request that the wishes to served me, made not only the 2 of them shock but me as well. From hearing he said that his family has long served the Sai Clan and looking at his determination, it was understandable. But honestly, it was a bit shocking now that he offered me his servitude."Why would you want to serve me?…you're a Lich, even on your own, you are already a powerful figure in this world…".I asked him because I was a little bit warry about his stance, I don't really care about his Lich status but, still, his identity might bring a little bit of trouble."I might be a Lich, bur before a Lich I am a butler, a butler needs to serve his lard in order to be a complete butler….Also, I am a Monticello, no matter how long, no matter what…a Monticello rightful place is by the side of Sai Clan...I am the last of my family, this is the pride of Mo
"THIS IS FLIROS CITY??..whoa, this is amazing!!…but <Sigh~>..it's a pity that it's in ruins now…". (Alehandro)After the relaxing and peaceful night in Alfred tower, we all wake up and have our breakfast, while Alfredo and us having a normal everyday conversation. When Alehandro knows the name of this ruined city, he shouts in shock."is Fliros City famous?…". (Sasu)Unlike the Dwarf Alehandro, Sasu or the Beaver and Mole Clan has been living beneath the earth has been disconnected from the outside world for along time, it's normal for them to not know the common knowledge of Fantasma."Of course it's famous, Floris City is one of the famous Flying City back in the Old Civilization…Although around that time there are many flying cities around Floris City was the only one which belongs to the Black Keep Empire, also the reason why it's famous is that unlike the other flying cities and town….Floris Ci
“Even if the enemy was not that much of a threat to you, we still need to approach this carefully…”.Although from what Alfred said that the Chutullusia wasn’t his rival in term of overall strength and power, but that aspect does not includes the three of us. Alfred does suggest that we should and can just barged in and defeated him, but I refused his idea becau
Black House, War Room, Aeternum.As always, ever since Aeternum has Joined the Alemia Nation in their Civil war, the Black House War Room was packed with people and bustling with activities. Every operator from all of the department branch in Aeternum cooperates tightly together. Making sure that everything was handled carefully.The War room was a top priority room at the moment, at every time there will be a Minister leader will be there to supervise the room, and in an instance will be able to issue a correct path of action if there's any trouble arise. Right now, the commander's seat in the War Room was filled by Elijah, The Vice President.Every branch of the military that operates in the field right now has their own designated Communication Operator, it was to ensure that every order and every report can be sent and receives fast and clear without any confusion.One operator in the whole room has it easy, her name is Cammy, a Sergea
Hearing that the President himself gave clearance for the ‘Project Angel’ to be launched made everyone in the room realize the situation’s where he’s at right now weren’t great. In fact looking at his place in the map right now, they were puzzled as to why he doesn’t called the War Room much earlier, he were actually surrounded on all sides.‘Pr
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
