“That’s means every single member has their own stamp..that was easy to understand…”. (Choi Jin Su)
“Of course…but, be careful of the Black skull Stamp…the stamps only got a simple meaning…don’t touch..and don’t bother to looked at them…because, that is President Mies work…no one can touched the company with Black Skull stamp…not even Chairwoman and definitely not the inner circle..no matter what they do, don’t bother with them..instead treated them nicely..”. (Ran Hyun Ok)
“Hmm?…Why?…”. (Choi Jin Su)
The concept of different mark and stamp, is clearly a clear sign of different factions. Certainly there should be a rivalry and conflicted between those different mark.
“Why?…oh, I got what you were thinking..rivalry right?…well actually rivalry does exist..but o
“Sir…everything is ready…the entire warehouse is already filled with everything that you have ordered…but on the topic of that books that you ordered….is it enough?..there were still room for more..I think…”. (Bang Dae Jung)“...I supposed so…hmmm…then I would be buying that myself when I go to Seoul this afternoon…So…how’s Park Zuo Yung?..she up yet?..”.As of now, I already back on my Mansion island. Since I got back from US, it has been 2 weeks already and all the things that I ordered, has already arrived and has already being arranged neatly by Bang Dae Jung and my mansion staff. Right now, the Warehouse area has been gone through a big overhaul upgrade, there’s 5 large air planes hanger sized warehouse on the front, but on it’s backyard, it was an opened area of 300 meter wide, squared with a perimeter
“[[Madam Chairwoman…I am Kennedy John From the GNN…First of all, it was trully great to hear that both of the Victims were doing great and recovering…But, Aren’t your details concerning to the weapons that were used a little bit too detailed?…Nowadays, a made up incident is something that we sees often…and with such details…the rumours that all this were a planned drama…seems to be a little bit tangible…do you have any comment on that?…]]”. (Kennedy John)Every single person in the room look at him with mixed expression, and hostility from the security teams, disbelieve from the front panels and the majority of the reporters, but quite a number of the reporters also quite relief that he were the one that asked this and not them.“[[…Mr.Kennedy…First of all..I am appalled that you think and have a though
“[[..Up Until now, There’s has yet any official investigations that has been launch or performed by any law enforcement in this country regarding this attack…Not a single person contacted us nor even approached me, Mr.President, Miss Park Zuo Yung nor even any of Virtue Financial Legal teams…The police that comes with Mr.Bang Dae Jung to retrieved the assailant corpse were in fact fetch by Mr.Bang Dae Jung and his team!!…]]”. (Catherine )The shows still goes on, Catherine has recovered from her moment of blunders and now speaking with her eyes glistening with tears.“[[ On our own, with the hard work from our Legal team…we had found various evidence that this case…is far larger than a simple assassinations attempts on Miss Park Zuo Yung nor even a simple accidents…We believe that Miss Park Zuo Yung has become a victims of blackmails and

(Kennedy John)At this point, Kennedy John know that he has become the antagonist in this press conference, he has made, the Chairwoman of Virtue Financial cried, invoke the anger of Virtue Financial top executives, and even draw the malice from everyone around him, Still at the same time, the reporter and also quite a numbers of viewers and public appreciates his questions and some even praised him for becoming the black sheep to satisfy everyone thirst for more informations.“[[For this…at this point, no matter what we believes who the perpetrator w
“Boss Mies…We just finished the last commissions that you tasked for us…and I must say….the design were quite optimistic!!…I love the concept art that we ourselves made…is it going to be used somewhere?…perhaps on your small island town?..”. (Artist Honey)“Maybe…I haven’t yet decided on to whether use it on real life or not…I just thought about the concept and wanted to see everything being visualize…as you know…I am writing a novels and on the phase of developing my own personal games…so…I need some concept art done for it….also, you can also think of this like my wish fulfilment kind of things..”.Right now, I’m in Seoul currently reviewing and appreciating the art commission that has been completely finished by my hired Art Studio, This small art company were one of the com

(T.A.S)S spoke inside of my mind, and honestly I were waiting for this, but never that I thought they reacted that fast.“Honey-Ssi..do you have some TV here?…in the lounge maybe?..”.“Huh?…owh yeah!..we just bought a 40 inch curve TV last week..and it is great!!…let’s go!!..”. (Lee Honey)If anyone, they might felt afraid and reluctant to tell their boss that they actually spend lavishly on comfort using a company funds. But Lee Honey doesn’t even felt an pinch of fears from me, because I actually didn’t really care, I already put 20 million dollar as fund for this c

(Book Store Clerk)This is the 10thbook store that I have made my stop at, after I left
“Sir…everything has been packed…um how do you want to pay this?..cash of card?..”.(Book Store Clerk)“Here…”.This time his worried expression has already being replaced with a wide smiles, I took back my card and get out of the store, I waited for a few minute waiting for Bang Dae Jung and his team member finished loading the boxes of stationary and books into the trucks that has just arrived.“Sir….I think, if we should even goes out ever again…we should just brought a bus or a lorry…I think that would be much more easier..”. (Monica)“.…I supposed so…but what can I say..my mood to buy things comes and go…not that I would always splurged like this…but sometime I just want it…anyway…has Catherine called yet?..”.Just so that I wont be interrupted wh
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.
