With an assuring smiles, Bang Dae Jung picked up the office phone on Choi Jin Su desk and called Mies, which shocked both of her hoobae.
“[Hmm…what is it?..]”. (Mies Sai)
Both Park Zuo Yung and Park Min Su were shocked and alerted as they heard, Mies calm deep voice on the loud speaker.

“That’s right…and Now, we are seeing the famous and elegant, Miss Sharon Jackson, the CEO of Virtue Biotechnology…did you know, Mr Cho?..Under her guidance and leadership…the VH Cosmetics comes to life…and I can say for sure that every products and treatments that were made by Virtue Cosmetics..Works like a miracle!!…even I were using them myself~…Miss Sharon~ please remember me~..I open to film any commercial advertisement~..”.

(Cho Min Su)“Oh please~ Mr.Cho…it was just your imaginations…of course Miss Sharon is friendly with everyone…and
The atmosphere outside of the Virtue Convention Center isn’t the same as the people were inside of it, for the public’s and viewers that enjoyed the shows, that show Virtue Financial status. For the executives, directors and CEO that were the subjects of this annual meeting, for them everything around them were akin to a trial.Although everyone were placed inside one of the most luxurious space in South Korea infrastructure. But to this groups of highly prolific businessman, right now they were actually waiting for a verdict from the Big boss himself. Unlike what they used to, Virtue Financial were run on a special terms, and that terms were dictated by President Mies Sai himself, the reviews were simple and straight forwards, if you were doing great, then it’s fine and dandy for you. If not, then you better be prepared, because if you don’t, then the glory and the luxury you have yesterday will no longer be yours b
“Mies..don’t you think..that was a little bit harsh?…I mean the guy already apologize..”. (Catherine)Catherine still feel a little bad with how I dealt with the French old man. That is just the way she is, compassionate, emotional and fill with empathy, and most of the time she was just simply easily being manipulated. That man Monteu, is just a downright egotistical bastard, that enjoyed an affairs whilst having STD and feeling proud spreading it around to a lot of younger woman, Not only that he actually used my investment/money for all his activities, rather than actually using that money to further developed his products.“Just because he apologize…doesn’t mean nothing to me…I have invested 200 million dollars in his company…and it has already been a year..I still don’t even get even a quarter of that amount…Sorry? Complaint?..
The first day of Virtue Financial Annual meeting and Performance review ended with a success. Everything went according to plans and nothing were delayed, what even more bigger issues, was in this meetings alone, out of 1200 CEO’s that were reviewed, only 50 were cut off from their current positions and their company were reorganized. Everything was done in a quick sequences, as soon as the verdict comes out. Those who doesn’t performed well, were immediately reacted to the consequences.Not only the CEO’s that felt the heats but also the entire failing company does. In an instant a reform plan were especially made and sent to their companies and were too implemented as soon as they can. The Virtue Financial Security and also the newly appointed as the Virtue Financial Internal Audit, the VKMT were move to make sure every single ordered were implemented as soon as possible. In a sense, there’s quite a lot of tremor t
Park Zuo Yung survived the whole ordeal, hiding away from everything, she can’t even goes to the hospital to get a proper treatments. But then, as she battling to survived, the general that she and her team were trying to kill, survived and appeared on national television. Accusing she and all her team mate as well as several dozen more agents were a rogue agent that tries to enact a revolutions and attempted rebellions, and at the general side was the Director of NIS, Kang Min Ho. At that time she knew that she has been used and already being discarded, and right now, she was even labelled as a terrorist and also dead.For several months following her recovery and hiding, she watched as her parent’s were mistreated by her own relatives and neighbour. Even the agency frequently stationed near them, Her parent’s then due to stress and shame, fall sick and finally died, both of them, and she could only watched them from afar
“See…she would definitely get shot…it’s just a simple maths of basic human nature…That’s why, Dae Jung-Ssi…when you were choosing between 2 evil…the first rule is, when you made a deal, make sure that you come out alive, make sure that you always got both of the evil on a noose…which ever acted out first..kill them…or much simpler, just don’t chose one evil over another…”.Me and Bang Dae Jung were watching and observing the entire interactions betweens Sung Jang Ko and Park Zuo Yung. Naturally we were actually closer than any of them can actually figured out, we are actually just like 2 dudes hanging out in our car. On contrary to me, Bang Dae Jung were actually quite angry when he saw a scene of betrayal were happening right before his eyes. But for me, this scene has already panned out from the beginning, We already knew that Par Zuo Yung will leaked the Virtue Medical files
“..I..I..<COUGH!!>..I..I’m sorry..s..sir…<Cough!>..I..didn’t mean to har..harm..anyone…I..<Cough!>…I..I..just want my life..b..back…<Huff!>..”. (Park Zuo Yung)Park Zuo Yung were slowly getting out of breath, every time she tries to speak, it was as if she were squeezing her last breath out, she coughing bloods as she speaks and her eye lids were getting heavy by the seconds. She was bleeding out, and her 2 hands can’t blocked the 2 gun shot that drill holes onto her stomach and chest. In the end she just let them flows and already giving up, people were usually honest when they were nearing their end, and for people with good heart and personality like her that is completely true, I can confirmed this is the truth as I wasn’t completely new to this.“Even if you didn’t mean it..you have indeed has cause harm to me… and my company&helli
At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums weren’t full. People didn’t understand why they should care. But then… he first matches were broadcasted on television. And suddenly, everything changed.For the first time, people saw their own cities competing. New City United vs. Shark Bay FC. Ironridge Titans vs. Silverport Eagles. Blazing Tundra vs. Redwood Strikers.It wasn’t just football anymore—these were their cities, their teams, their pride. And when fans saw their teams winning, they felt the rush of victory. When they saw their teams losing, they felt the bitterness of defeat.The spark had been ignited. Soon enough… Supporters’ clubs started popping up. Fans flooded stadiums on weekends. People debated tactics in bars, cafes, and workplaces. Children started dreaming of becoming professional players.Saturdays and Sundays were now known as Football Days, where everyone tuned in to watch their favorite teams battle for supremacy.The AFL wasn’t j
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. Writers eager to bring their stories to life. Technicians fascinated by the magic of film.Even our allied nations sent students, eager to learn about this new frontier of entertainment. The future of the film industry had been secured.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it would come from exporting movies and cinema technology to our allied nations.And so, we struck a deal. Each allied nation would provide land and funding for the construction of cinemas. Aeternum would bring in the technology, train workers, and provide the films.The profits would be split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
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.”Ba
