Snow Strom City was the capital city of the entire Northern Alemia, which it’s size were comparable to the size of the Capital city of Alemia Nation, Alemia City. This is because in terms of territorial size, population and wealth, Snow Storm City beats Alemia City by miles, The Snow Family or the mastermind of the Noble Coalitions and also the largest Vampire families in the history of Alemia, were the oldest family in the Alemia Nation even older that the Alemia Royal family itself. The Snow Family were also know for their well connected influence spread all over the central continent and also the one who control the Alemia trade route.
I can see that the city were once glorious and prospers, there are many stone brick buildings, well kept roads and even a proper city planning in the Snow Storm City, but right now, it was in wreck. Many of the building were severely damaged and in ruins, the roads were all cracked due to countless numbers of Undeads mons
In the middle of the Snow Storm City Center, Me and Alfred were standing before the Enemies, The vampire of the Northern Alemia, the perpetrator the demonic summoning itself. One one side it’s just me and Alfred and on the other side and around us were the Demons, Undeads and the Vampires. Right now no one were moving, not even dared to, Alfred as the oldest Undeads and Arch Lich that has ever lived in the Fantasma Central Continent, Lived up to his reputations and names amongst the Undeads community, even the Vampires knows of him and very respectful towards him.“Oh~..if it isn’t the Lord of Snow family himself…I knew of your ancestor…he and I have crossed path before…I thought I have already told him to discard his greed…I supposed if the ancestors were already greedy then it’s heir will be so…But to the point of summoning the very taboo of the Fantasma itself….Hmm…you youngster are quit
The Moment that the Di Gianna Family shows their intentions of turning the coats towards Lord Count Vorkhen Snow, Being a respectful and cautious leader that he is, he instantly order his horde of armies to crush me, Alfred, Sofia, Marcella and Alessia Di Gianna, Right where we were standing. No more waiting, no more words of respect and nobility and no more delay of the inevitable, the scuffle starts.“HMPH!!..a mere vampires dares to assault against me!!..BURN!!..{Fire Wall}!!…”. (Alfred)When the battle started Alfred were jumped by the nearest Vampire Knights by all sides, forcing him to engages and defend himself from the Vampire Knights barrage and flurry of close combat attacks. Still he stood his ground refusing to took even a step back, despite being an Arch Lich a creature that were mainly focused on magic, Alfred rapier play and close combat ability should not be underestimated, he was a bona fide all rounded fi
“<BBBOOOOOMMMM!!!!>…GGOOOUUU!!!!…”. (Tier 6 Demon Hell Minotaur)No hesitation at all, As soon as the Hell Minotaur landed behind Eric the Vampire High Wizard, it instantly brought down it’s super sized Hammer upon me. Rage filled the Monster eyes, huffing a steams out of his bull nostrils. Seeing his actions at me, I jumped back a few meters back, the moment I pulled out my sword out of the High Wizard chest, blood spurts out, now fully cut his heart into 2, then his death were confirmed by the Hell Minotaur large hammer, fully demolishing his body into a meat paste.“As always..demons are so barbaric…”.As I was carefully watching the angry gigantic bull in rage, another Tier 6 being arrived at the rooftop of where I was, Steadily standing in the air right next to the rooftop close to where I was standing was an Undead, half of his body were just a white skeleton
The situations around if I were to conclude, it’s not looking that great, surrounded on all side by Tier 6 powerhouse that eager to kill me, if it was any normal person in Fantasma,they might already on their knees, if not maybe already flat out passed out due to their sheer overwhelming aura just from their presences. But that was anyone one else, as for me, I already got used to this kind of situations, went against an overwhelming odds, whether it was in my military serving times nor in my Mafia serving as an executioners, this type of situations is what I deal with most of the times.“(T.A.S..what do you think my winning percentage were..if I was to go against all of this Tier 6 Monsters right now?..)”.[i would say around 60%…you would win these battle, but 100% you would not walk out here unharmed..you would definitely sustained critical injuries..if you insisted on killing all of them..Tier 6 being is no joke,
The Explosion of the first ever large scale modern missile in Fantasma were not only can be seen around the Northern Alemia Territory, but it can be seen all the way to the Hallerus Kingdom capital the Hallerusia, In the early evening where darkness of the night skies started to blanket the sky, the Enchanted Missile explosion covered the skies for a brief moment akin to a Sun falls on the Ground. Those in the Shark Region, New City and Alemia Capital City can felt the ground trembling, which shocked the entire Aeternum and Alemia citizen from their aloofness, Many went out to the road eager to know what has actually happened.“Dear Lord…what is that…”. (Civilian)Once one people saw the bright light and the Mushroom cloud rise up to the skies, far at the directions of the Northern Alemia, The rest of the witnessing Civilian saw the same scene. This baffling scene not only baffled the witness but also the many of th
“Freaking hell…!!…<KRANGG!!.>…T.A.S…did the message to the War Room?..”. “[Yes..it Did, The message was received by Vice President Elijah herself..also she had also ordered the Army to went ahead to enter the Snow Storm City and enacted the Publicity War…So far there are no reactions from the Principality of Light, but all our allies has heed our warning and already made a move on their own turf..]”. (T.A.S) Before the Enhanced M.O.A.B were exploded, I was able to teleport out of the Snow Storm City and in the middle of my most heated battle against 10 Tier 6 Monsters. But still that doesn’t mean that I was able to walk out of the battle unharmed. I am severely wounded, battered and injured all over my body, my whole body were covered in blood, cut marks and all kinds of injuries. I was able to walk out of the battle thanks to the detonations of The Enhanced M.O.A.B, it distracted and also weakened all of the
Virtue Financial Main Office, Panama Branch.Recently although Virtue Financial has reach a new heights in the world markets and fame, it wasn’t without cost. Virtue booming reputation has brought a lot of attentions to all Virtue Financial higher executives, Be it Helena Mendoza, Catherine Kent or Ran Hyun Ok, everyone has entered the stardom, because of Virtue Financial world breaking leads.But ever since Mies who is the relentless president of Virtue Financial has stood up against United States, refuses to bend down to their unreasonable demand, Virtue Financial gotten even more famous, which even increases the company worth even more than before, business for Virtue and profits got even more outstanding, far shine any other big companies in the world.The revolutionary VH-Serum and the newly released VUA-Serum, has took over the medical world like a storm.

“[Let me worry about that…you just make sure to get ready to move…soon we will make sure the Jonathan Group pay..]”.(Catherine Kent)“Great…let’s do that…I’m going to end the conference now….Marcuez, let’s go…”. (Helena Mendoza)“Let’s go…”. (Marcuez Vega)Marcuez Vega along with Helena Mendoza together with the entire Virtue Financial South America Security division get into their gear and kick is into a high alert, which shocked ever Virtue Financial employee.Later that day, Catherine Kent issued an emergency order to all Virtue Financial employee and instructed the Security division to strengthen the security on the personel and also all Virtue Financial main building and offices. All the personel that were listed on the top 100 list and many of the essential personnel of Vi
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
The ministers eagerly pointed out their favorite places from their student years.“Over there—that café served synthetic ice cream you have to try.”“That’s the district where I first saw a holographic opera.”“This is where I spent hours in the central library—eight floors of pure knowledge.”Helen listened with quiet amusement and growing wonder. These weren’t just stories. This was the future.They stopped first at a shopping promenade, where modern boutiques lined the plaza. Aeternum fashion—streamlined, elegant, tailored for form and comfort—was on full display.Helen tried on a pale blue dress lined with iridescent threads that shifted color slightly under different lighting. She admired herself in the mirror. Regal, yet free. She hadn’t felt this light in years.Merrica chuckled as she twirled slightly. “Careful. You’ll make the palace tailors obsolete.”Next came the Aeternum cuisine district. The aroma of spices, imported meats, baked delicacies and exotic fruit blends filled
Meerkat sipped from his flask; eyes gleaming. “Monster cores alone could offset our collective energy reliance on Aeternum’s hybrid reactors. If those dungeons are stabilized and regulated under UNA protocols, we’re looking at a resource boom.”Angela arched an eyebrow. “All that assumes stability. A kingdom can’t regulate dungeons if they can’t regulate their own court.”“Well,” Meerkat said with a shrug, “that’s what Merrica’s for, isn’t it?”They all laughed lightly—because it was true. The man’s reputation preceded him. Hallerus may have signed with a queen, but Merrica had built the bridge.Kaneda leaned forward. “It’s risky, but it’s a calculated risk. We’re not signing blind loyalty here. We’re watching. Evaluating. But make no mistake—if this works, Hallerus becomes the keystone of continental connectivity.”Redwall drummed his fingers on his knee. “I suppose that’s why we’re here. Not to clap at the signing. But to see if the queen is truly changed.”“She is,” Angela said qui
“And now, a major announcement: With the signing complete, Hallerus Kingdom is formally inducted into the United Nation Alliance as its thirty-first member. This marks a turning point—not only for Hallerus, but for the entire Central Continent.”“The UNA, now composed of thirty-one sovereign nations, officially becomes the largest unified alliance in the world’s history—its reach, economic power, and strategic cooperation unmatched by any prior coalition.”“Following this event, Aeternum has confirmed it will begin a nationwide rollout of its Super Stores, factories, and humanitarian infrastructure in Hallerus territory. In exchange, Hallerus will provide critical resources and cultural integration into the alliance structure.”“Public reaction is already beginning to surface—here in New City, spontaneous celebrations have begun in the multicultural districts where former Hallerians live. Meanwhile, markets across the UNA are surging in response to the stability this alliance signifie
“I don’t forget betrayal easily,” I said. “And Aeternum doesn’t forget pain lightly. What happened between us—it scarred people. People who trusted Hallerus. Soldiers who bled for your freedom. Civilians who saw us pulled out overnight.”“I know,” Helen said. “And I accept the cost.”“But,” I said, letting the word hang before softening my tone, “I do respect accountability.”Her eyes met mine. “Then we start again?”“We do,” I said, extending a hand.She took it. Her grip was firm.“We bury the hatchet,” I added. “But let’s be clear—this is not a return to old friendship. This is a new foundation. One built on lessons learned.”Helen nodded. “Agreed.”Merrica exhaled, satisfied. “It’s what both sides need.”I looked at Helen, voice calm. “You have a second chance now. Few leaders get that. Don’t waste it.”She nodded again, quietly this time. “I won’t.”“Good,” I said. “Because your people need you more than ever. Rule wisely. Rule well. Let this alliance be your legacy.”For the fir
“We’ll export more to Hallerus—especially food. You’ll need it. In return, we’ll import more raw ore and minerals. Your mining sector’s still decent, right?”“It is.”“Then let’s grow that. More volume, more jobs, more imports on both sides.”He beamed. “Thank you, my friend.”I smiled back. “You’ll find I don’t just use the whip.”“A carrot, then?”“Always. A balanced hand is how you keep control. Too much punishment, and you push people away. Too much reward, and they forget who they owe.”Merrica nodded slowly. “You’ve become a real ruler.”I stood, offering my hand again. “I became what this world needed.”He shook it. “And I’ll make sure Hallerus becomes what Aeternum can trust.”We stood in silence for a moment longer. The sound of cheering still floated in faintly from the streets below. Somewhere out there, Queen Helen was being paraded through New City—through a modern marvel built from vision and precision. Through a world she couldn’t have imagined a year ago.And now, she’
“They’re… happy to see us?” she asked, disbelief in her voice.Duke Merrica gave her a half-smile. “Some of them, yes. The others are watching. Judging. As they should.”One young woman in the crowd, her hair wrapped in Aeternum’s signature style, waved a small Hallerus flag and called out, “Welcome back! My family’s from Archenport—we’re with you!”Helen felt a warmth rise in her chest. Her lips curled, hesitant, but sincere. She lifted a gloved hand and waved back.Her ministers behind her smiled with relief. The people hadn’t forgotten them. Or maybe… maybe Aeternum’s citizens were willing to forgive, even if their leaders were not.Still, with each new marvel the city revealed, her pride took another small wound.Digital traffic signs shifted in real-time. Elevated walkways moved gently above the streets. Tall towers bore solar glass and climate control systems beyond her comprehension. Everything was clean. Efficient. Vibrant.Hallerus, by contrast, was still struggling to clear
“But that’s not all,” he said. “We’re not just building stores. We’re buying land.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed. “Land?”Andrea arched a brow. “Personal Aeternum-controlled territory?”“Exactly,” Mies said. “We’ll negotiate the purchase and designation of sovereign Aeternum land within Hallerus. Locations where we will build permanent structures—embassies, farms, factories. Property they can’t touch. Not legally. Not politically.”Andrea crossed her arms. “You want to turn this alliance into territorial leverage.”“I want security,” Mies said. “We trusted them once. And they betrayed us. This time, we own the pieces on the board. If they want access to food and prosperity, they give us something real in return. Soil.”Elijah nodded. “No oversight from their monarchy. No interference. Full extraterritorial jurisdiction.”Mies smiled. “Exactly. We build an Aeternum that lives inside their walls. One they can’t tear down without declaring war.”Andrea added, “And when we build those farms and
“We’re proud Aeternians now,” said one local organizer. “But we remember where we came from. If we can help fix the old home while serving the new one, why not?”In university lecture halls, students debated passionately.“Strategically, re-integrating Hallerus into Aeternum’s economic sphere is a no-brainer,” one economics major argued. “We’ll be able to shape their policies from within.”“But trust is a currency too,” another replied. “If we spend it on the wrong partner again, we might pay more than we think.”In a small park in the east district, a group of Aeternum veterans sat on a bench, medals on their coats, eyes on the screens showing news footage of Andrea’s visit.“You remember that street?” one said, pointing.“I remember clearing it house by house,” another replied. “They cheered us one day. Chased us out the next.”The youngest of them, silent until now, finally spoke.“We gave them peace once. Maybe it’s time to give them a future.”Silence followed. No one disagreed.
