Before the situation turned worst Lee Ha Feng stood up and shoot a fierce glare towards her daughter.
"Han Na!!…control yourself!… I apologize for my daughter's unruly behavior, Mr. Mies..". (Lee Ha Feng)"Don't Mind me.....Anyway, Hello there Derek Krawoski…It's been a long time…"."Ah!...Yes, yes it is Mr. Mies…it's an honor to see you again..". (Derek)Looking at him, I can see fear mixed with excitement in his eyes which is a bit freaky for me. As for Lee Han Na, She seems to be embarrassed as her grandfather reprimand her in public.I stand up and change to Terry table, then sit next to Terry, Lee Ha Feng also follow the suit and sit down next to Lee Han Na and Derek. Instead of going straight into the conversations, I sit there silently sipping my coffee."I have to say, I've been waiting to see you Sir…Ever since the last time…Thanks to you I was able to claim thFantasma. Black Keep.It's has been 1 week and a half since Master Mies left for his urgent business, Ever since then the work of managing the Keep has fallen to my shoulder. Everything proceed normally and following the schedule that Master Mies has given, Bina has been training the Maidens dutifully, The morale and atmosphere in here changed to the better, everyone were passionate and hard working with every task given to them."Sister Elijah…here's the report that you ask…". (Mina)Mina placed down the tablet on the table in front of Elijah, The tablet were just one of the items left by their new master, in just short amount Elijah were thought how to use several 'Electronic devices' by Him. Luckily Elijah was someone with high intellect to pick up everything quickly, ever since then she has been teaching the Maidens to use them as well teaching them some other learning material given to them by their ma
Whole trip was both successful and enjoyable at the same time, later that night we leave Sweden and fly back home. Not only I managed to get my armory stock up, I also got 4 small lorries with me (each one took 1 storage ring to store them since the lorry was was 1 ton each). Just for this trip I already got 20 rings full to the brim, Dimensional storage rings was a fortune for me, though it brought out a lot of questions for Terry, until now he can't figured out how all the stuff suddenly disappeared.As soon as the money was wired to my newly made Swiss account, immediately I paid out all my loans (Student loans, House mortgage and bank loans) and just like that I finally become a free man myself, also I got my own Black Credit Card now, quite an accomplishment for myself I must say.<KNOCK! KNOCK!>"Who is it?.."."Mies!..it's me Ken!..Hey come out, help me unload this boxes…". (Ken)
Today I've decided to electrified/modernized my Keep before doing anything else. For that purpose the whole keep was busy from early in the morning, Thankfully we got many extra hands ready to be used. The slaves from The Hive already arrive and settle down, though there are only females, they still can do the job.Looking at the slaves, they have become more lively than any of the slave I saw back in the market, according to Elijah report apparently they were more than happy to serve for us. The treatment they got here make them feel like, they were a commoner rather than slaves, no harassment, well-fed. Elijah said that for a slave they definitely living a better life than any commoner in most of the country.Anyway, for this project I assign all the maidens to be the leaders for every unit of slaves, this is for the maidens to train their leadership skills and to establish their power and privileges that a Maidens can possess. I started the project by turnin
After 8 weeks of non-stop works, Finally, we completed the whole construction project. The ugly and half-destroyed wall was now standing firm and solid With 3.5 Meter high and 4 meters thick off solid concrete and rebar, it was also altered and widen so that it covers the area of the 200-meter radius with the Keep as the center, The gate was made from a 1 meter thick of solid wood and steel fittings then completed with modern electronic locks and automated closing and opening mechanism made it very secured and easy to operates, this probably the first of its kind in this world. On top of the wall, there's a 3-meter wide walkway made it easier to perform patrol, every 10 meters a bright LED light was installed to illuminate the walls and its surrounding, Every 100 meters, patrol stations were placed with a platform installed especially for a high caliber gun and a spotlight, suffice to say with these modifications we can spot anyone as far as 300 meters, that alone made it quite hard
"RUN!!.I SAID RUN!!..YOU IMBECILE!!.."."YES SIR!!!".(Maidens)It's already months 9 since I arrive to this world, after finishing all the foundations for my Newly build country, which by the way as of now sailing smoothly with no issues. Thanks to that, I am now comfortable enough to move forward to my new goals, which is Spreading fame and opening business in new area. But before that, I need a trained professional workforce a skillful business employee and professional soldier."CLIMB THAT WALL CADET!!!..CLIMB IT!!!.."."Hic..SIR! YES SIR!!..".(C2 cadet)This scene was quite normal in the training, a 20 years old C2 cadet struggling to climb the 4 meter walls that was part of my training course. Due to lack of Maidens, I can only take 14 person to become the backbone of my newly form armed forces (Minus Elijah and 5 Original team leader, as they were in positions t
[I agreed that some kind of entertainment was crucial to the general public….but do you really have to sing and said that the song was yours?…]. (T.A.S)"Well I do though…on earth yes, It was someone else song, but in Fantasma it's mine since I'm the one who perform it first…entertainment was a multi billion industry you know…".The graduation ceremony is already end. So as the finale I sang a few ballad song while playing a piano, of course it was a hit, after that moment I realized that I'm not only a genius but also a remarkable singer. Since then I've been recording a few cover videos for my Gram account, getting rich was one thing, but recently when I saw that my Gram account reach 100k follower, it's kinda addicting.<Knock! Knock!>"Mr. President, Captain Bertha already arrived...". (Elijah)Elijah has her own office right beside mine, e
After a week of collecting information's of the bandits, I recall the Intelligence team back to I.S.O.A. and after reviewing the intel, I surprise that they actually did a very good job, I guess letting them watch the Bourne movies and the spy documentary was right after all.Right now all the Department of Defense were pack into the Main Hall at my Keep ground floor. I was also here listening to I.S.O.A very first military briefing, Bina was on the front carefully stating the information's regarding our operations."Our Target was number 15 on the list, Widely known as Wide storm band..made up of approximately of 30 crew..Their Leader was this man Mongadee Lopus, 43 years old, a deserter from Alemia Kingdom 2nd Knight platoon, extremely cruel and savage..Their M.O was raiding nearby village and capture the citizen there to be sold in slavery..they usually operates near the border of Alemia Kingdom an Our I.S.O.A…...Intelligence team
The day was slowly getting dark as the sun setting on the horizon. Deep hidden in the Rock Valley near the river bank, was Wide Storm bandit hideout. The Hideout was an abandoned dragon cave, after their leader Mongadee Lopus establish the band they have made this mid size cave their home for 7 years. Over the time they gain prospers, from just empty cave they amass fortune and altered the surrounding to their at advantage, making them more hidden and strong from any attacks.The cave entrance was fitted with steel bar and thick wooden gate, makeshift walls from wood surround the cave perimeter, guards tower with lookouts, from afar this place look impenetrable. As darkness finally covers the sky, the bandits start going around lighting the torch, Richie was one of the bandits that lighting up the torch on top of the wall, he start from the left end and slowly making his way to the middle where the gate was, a posted guards currently yawning while chugging a bot
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
You’re certain this will work? Turning a war-torn region into a hub for fish farming isn’t exactly a small task…. sure, we already managed to owned them and stabilized them but you still have to build most of the basic infrastructure from the ground up…”.Andrea nodded confidently.“I can and I will. The river’s resources are abundant, and with our technology, we can create sustainable systems. This isn’t just about feeding our people—it’s about dominating the market.”. (Andrea)I let her words sink in, my mind already racing with possibilities.“(In a world like this, where fresh fish is a luxury reserved for the wealthy, we’ve managed to break that barrier. Our ships, equipped with refrigeration, have turned an impossible dream into a thriving industry. And now, freshwater fish could be the next frontier.)”“The inland nations will clamor for this,”I said, my tone thoughtful.“We’ve already proven our capability with saltwater seafood. Freshwater fish would solidify our position as
