“Risky because she was a spy…or risky because she attempted to leaked our secret?..”.
“Both…her loyalty is questionable…at least that was it was to me…but now you wanted her to handle any work that you personally assigned…that seems too much to me…I mean…me and my team is already enough to do whatever you asked…”.(Bang Dae Jung)
“..That is know..but you are…Virtue Financial Security Executives…and your team mates is also in the same scope as yours…you guys have much bigger jobs to handle…Guarding me and also doing your job as an executives is just too much…And now With Virtue Medical up and running…we need to put more on our security, protections to prevent us from losing anything crucial…VH-Serum is coveted by every single person on earth..and with the administrations is now releases from me, people would da
“Mr.Bang…the breakfast is very good today…As always…it’s suits my taste just perfectly..”.This morning as always I enjoyed the comfortable breakfast at my own home. It was just a simple Korean breakfast, just Kimchi fried rice and egg rolls, On contrary to my wealth, I enjoy this kind of simple breakfast, which kinda made my in house cook felt extremely lax. But still I enjoyed them anyway.“Thank you for your compliment sir…it’s always been my pleasure..Oh yes, By the way sir…the Town seems to be needing some more power…the populace asked me whether we should connect the power grid to the mainland..should we?..”. (Mr.Bang)“...I prefer not to connect them…after all, I wanted this town to be build on our own hands…about the power issues…I will find a way to fixed them…according to my calculation the current wi
“Then I supposed…we should follow Miss Park alternative…Miss park would prepared the plans and all the necessary things…then Mr,Bang you would follow up with her at later date….”.“i understand Sir…Then, I will take my leave first…just left the dishes there when you were finished Miss Park..the staff will handled them later…Sir…I will ready your coffee in a moment..”. (Mr.Bang)As a professional and seasoned Butler Mr.Bang knows when to give me a space and time of my own, Since Park Zuo Yung is here naturally I would want to talk to her privately. So he step out of the dining room and closed the door behind him. Seeing the changes, Park Zuo Yung wanted to stop eating her meal, but I just let her eat in peace, a few minutes later, she finished her meal, and Mr.Bang comes in with My coffee and serve them to both of us.“You handle you bus
The possibility of marriage at this current time, might sounded a little bit to stretch out to me, it was forcing to much. I Know Kingdom of Eloesa is in a tight spot at the moment, but for myself I don’t want to take advantage of that, Rather the expactations that me getting married to the Princess of Eloesa Kingdom, just for them to asked for more help and aid from Aeternum is just to convenient for them.In exchanged for a woman, I have to help a country with my won wallet. Perhaps the old monarch in Fantasma might think that this is feasible and perhaps even to their liking, but for me who built Aeternum under the modern thinking and institutions, Such action does not only will affected the country current reputations but also adding an unnecessary burden to ourself.“Marriage…is out of questions for me…just like I have said before…before we all got official…
New City is doing quite well, and also our Internal Audit Department also has been active to monitored the corruption issues, public safety were well taken care of, Also by now Aeternum Royal Military has already reached the mark of 40 000 seasoned and fully trained soldiers, the constant Dungeon diving session and also dungeon subduing mission has made, Aeternum soldier extremely experienced at combat. Aeternum full military might is already 150 000 men and woman strong, but only 50 000 were considered seasoned and elitist, the remaining 100 000 people were mostly new recruits and were still under training. But even so, the standard of Aeternum Army is far higher than any nation in Central Continent, even the recruits level can already be considered as full fledge soldier in any other country.“<Knock!..Knock!..>…Mr.President…Madam Governor Jelina is here..should I let her come in?..”. (Major Sareen)
As of now, Kingdom of Eloesa has no more funds or even resource that to them, they considered valuable. Right now they know, even at their ruined states, if they don’t want to be wiped from history they had to compromise and search for a way of survival. To them they have found they most probable and also the decisive way to ensure their Kingdom longevity, which is Aeternum, The only country that has been helping them in their time of crisis.But let’s be honest Queen Aqeesha and the entire Eloesa Royalty knew that they have no other viable offer to give, so in the end they resulted to the most usual and normal way of asking for help, which royal marriage. Aeternum by now is already considered an independent country, but in terms of Legitimacy, Aeternum does a little bit lacking. But that doesn’t mean that Aeternum will be needing a stuff like Legitimacy on their ruling, After all without it, they were able to become this
In the Kingdom of Eloesa at the moment, everything were well under control. The previous chaotic environment of uncertain danger lurking around the corner has become well under controlled, but still it was just barely being held together at this point. All of this thanks to the 5 000 Aeternum soldier from both the Army Branch of 02 Army battalion under the commander of General Lucas, and also to Special Force Branch, Dungeon Exploration and Extermination Division as well as the Eternal Night Division, The Special Force Branch were leads by the newly appointed Colonel Alessia Di Gianna. All of Aeternum forces were under the lead of High General Bina Murook, the Aeternum High General Military and also the Minister of Defence.“Madam…Is it the call from the Black House?..”. (Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)A few days back they have received the news of President returned, and at the same time of his arrival, the Kingdom of Eloesa
Kingdom of Eloesa were a warrior states, a country that believes in the way of fighter, of blood and steel and war. In the midst of Aeternum soldier wearing their combat uniform, there were also Eloesa Soldier in the midst joining their camping spot, watch post, patrol rounds and even the group of D E&E teams that just returned from Dungeon raiding. For 2 months already Eloesa Soldier has acknowledge Aeternum Soldier as the same as them, honourable, strong and prideful. “..Hmm…this Beefalo curry rice..is very delicious!!..no matter how many time I eat them…I just can’t get enough of it…(Sigh~)…I just wished that in the future…we Eloesan can enjoy this delicacy…”. (Knightess Tier 3 Despina) “...Well…I don’t think that it wasn’t impossible…Queen Aqeesha has already signed the Small Nation Coalitions with My country…certainly there will be a lot of stuff will be bought here as a trade…oh yeah, when will be the next horde coming?…”. (Cap
“Is this our new Air Craft?..”. (Elijah)“Yes…more like this were only available for our use..specifically…us the ministers and also the cabinet members…Though this might looked like it can be mass produced..but was actually very hard for me to obtained it…maybe in the near future..we can have the R&D department to manufacture one…”.Right now, we are inside of the latest air craft that I have bought from earth, I bought this from Manganese Arms Manufactures, it was one of their trialled air craft. It was the largest Quad Copter, kinda looked, with its 4 propeller powering it’s flight, this Quad Copter were 2 times faster than any carrier helicopter, also, it’s carry capacity were naturally larger, as the size of this Quad Copter is actually the same size as 3 Carrier Helicopter parked side by side.So, the inside of the Quad Copter were very comf
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
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
