"Take everything, kill everyone that related to Legro family..".
Nodded at my order, Xing, Alehandro and Lucas spreads out and entered the mansion. 24 out of 30 guards were already dead, the rest were unconscious on the ground from blood loss, I could care less about them, if they live, they live, if they don't then I got nothing to lose, the whole scene needs to look as horrendous as possible. Emotions is useless at time like this, as Xing and the other's started the 'cleaning up' process, I entered the mansion as well and headed for the second floor to find a library or office of some kind.
All nobles everywhere have the same lifestyle, owning a personal library or a collections of books is a symbols of wealth. This mansion were no different from others, in fact Legro Family was known to be boasting that they were a long generations of wizards, also in the inner circle of nobles, Legro family have a knack for anything that was taboo.

"So you were saying that, they look interesting that's why you give them your ring?..I'm sorry sir but that was just too random…but still for Elven Tree Watcher to come into Human territory…are they wagging a war?..". (Elijah)"I don't know…but it's kinda interesting to see where this is going…..oh right, is the Duchess Confessions going well?.."."It is…it cause quite a stir yesterday..Sebastian said, the public has begun to sway from the church…they avoid, and try to questions church….the only reasons why there's still people in the church was because of their healing business..". (Elijah)"Hmmm…then continue with the pressure, also make sure Paul announce the news as usual, and have the Duchess to reassure her husband territory by saying that Duke army already hunting the bandits…it's better that they heard from their own people after all..".
In a few weeks the ever so high Church of Light popularity has been smudge, their unruly and dirty act was exposed every day on the radio broadcast. The pressure and the discovery of their heinous act made by the local lords investigations all over the central continent, made the public belief wavers.Holy City of Selenia is Principality of Light main capital, the place where the pious and the holy army resides, the holy land for the church of light follower, the supposed land where the gods set foots to deliver his divine commandment, in the middle of the city was the continent Largest cathedral, St. Monical the place were the Pope of Light, the revered Pope Leonardo von Elyuise resides. On the top floor of the Cathedral lies the biggest room in the building, it's the most heavily guarded room in the whole Principality. Though the outside of the room seem holy and pure, in the inside it was filled with wild stench, sour and the sweetness of arousing aroma. Sitt
After 3 weeks 'Operations Undead' has been successfully implemented, and already entering it's final phase which is the defeat of the horde. The Church already made their move to suppress the horde, but they only managed to reduced the damaged by 20%, though it's a bit slow, but still they were able to hold on. Complete annihilation wasn't really my aim at the first place, I wanted to weaken them by, wavering the belief and reducing their numbers, both army and their citizen, so far both objectives already being achieve. Then it's comes to the final stage which is Aeternum debut to the world stage.Today was the day I will announce in the radio Live to the whole world that Aeternum is exist and were actually powerful enough to be recognized by every major power in Fantasma. Sitting in the studio booth with Paul, the Clock already pointed at 10 am in the morning."Good morning to people of Fantasma, Ladies and Gentleman, humans or demi-human.
"Base, this is Airforce 2, target captured success, confinement procedure complete…you are free to move in..I repeated you are free to move in..".The call that just came in was a confirmations that the abominations has been safely extracted, Elijah, Mina and Rafela were the one who fly the helicopter and retreive it personally and send it into the Secret Prison in the Military base basement. As for me and the 500 Aeternum soldier already stationed in temporary refugee base or Foerward Operating Base at the Tri-Nation Valley, about 1000 tents complete with all kind of necessary equipments for the operations already being set up for use. 10 helicopter already up in the air, heading to all the participant, sending phones and map to where they supposed to convened and send to. Right now the participant only way of communications to me was radio broadcast that was playing the whole thing live.This operation mainly was to show the power of Aeternum, through our mili
At 5pm all the coalitions top member already gathered in the Tri-Nation Valley, Forward Operations Base. Duke Merrica, Earl Canran Von Masvit, 5th Prince Sladin Abraham, Princess Angela Seraphim of Dukedom of Angela, Grand Wizard Lionel Alkord from the Coalitions of Wizadly and Shcolar, and Elder Carrn Furry from Free Nation of Triangle Guilds. All of them can't help but marvelled at how prepared Aeternum at the whole situations, from the part where they were pick up up to the place where the operations was held, it was otherworldly to them."Right now we were expecting a large attack which most likely to be aiming at all the borders..all the rescues missions already and still being carried out, by the end of today, we aiming be bringing in at least 5000 survivor from 50 villages and 20 towns…". (Bina)Bina and Andrea was in-charge of briefing the leaders about the current situations, using the real time map on the monitor and precise number and ca
The whole battlefield was under control, all plan already proceed swiftly. All 3 points already finished building their temporary Wall, and only waiting for bathces of undeads to come in for them to kill. In this operations I also see first hand how a medieval fight were fought, and honestly they were quite a spectacle, for a professional army like Duke Merrica Knight troops, their movement was steady and disipline, they followed formations and order quite well, but on the downside they quite easily agitated and to proud, sometimes there's one or two wiould break formations , tried to show off, which served no point at all.The Mercenary, Adventurer and volunteer on the other hand were much more calculated, they never took risk more than they can handle and they only act in a small unit of their own. They were quite hectic, and easily broken, but there's nothing to blame them for, in the end they were nothing but a group of individuals that only there for their
At Dukedom Angela contamination wall, the fight already entered it's 12 hours periods. It was as intense as it has been from the starts, but the wall still remains tough while the undead numbers was slowly cut down.Every 5 hours Aeternum Army who's been firing non-stop, had to replenish their ammunitions for 30 minutes (including a bit of rest), and in that window the Black rose Knight, Spear Vanguards and The Wizards will took over to kill the undeads that slowly piling themselves to climb the wall, this scene never happended when Aeternum Soldier were the one firing their weapons, it's clearly shows that, even though Aeternum Army was small in numbers, they still were the most effective forces in the operations.Resting after killing the Undeads just 2 hours ago, the top ranking officers from Dukedom of Angela, Battle Star Empire and Coalitions Of Scholar and Wizardly, currently leaning over the ledges of the wall and watching the massacre on the
Point A/ Hallerus Border Contaminations Zone."Do I really have to do this?…".[Well..that's the quest thou….if you want the reward, then you have to do it…].{ Optional Quest : Kill 10 000 UndeadsPerquisite: Melee Weapon only. :Must be Accomplished Alone.Rewards: Oath of a Elder Dragon }In Just a few minutes away the Napalm would be here, all of a sudden a quest prompt up in my view. Not that I really mind but, actually I wanted to show all these medieval people a little fireworks, now that this happen, I had no way of showing that, Also knowing me, I'm kinda curious what the reward is. Perhaps I should burst out my annoyance on all these undeads."Colleen..Cancel the airstrike…"."Huh?…but sir…why?....wait
“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
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternum’s growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexist—that magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
Madeline, another single mother, found herself equally overwhelmed—but for an entirely different reason. Back in the Empire, food was a luxury.If you were lucky, you had stale bread, old vegetables, or a tiny scrap of meat to share with your family. Shopping for food was never a choice—you simply took whatever was available and prayed that it would last.But in Aeternum’s markets, things were completely different.One afternoon, she stood frozen in the middle of a supermarket aisle, staring at the endless rows of fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and even exotic spices from other parts of the world.She could hardly comprehend what she was looking at.It wasn’t just that there was food available—it was the sheer abundance of it. She felt anxious. Lost. Uncertain.She turned to the store worker nearby, a cheerful young woman dressed in the green uniform of Haven Mart, the government-affiliated grocery chain."How… how do I know what to pick?" Madeline asked hesitantly.The
