"So you were saying in return for your Oath of Protections.. you want me to take in your kin?..".
"Yes…they have been asking me for years…it broke my heart to see my kin were hunted down like animals..". (Griksu'um)
His only request was for me to take in his Kin, which is the Lizard men race, according to him for decades his kin were hunted by human, killed, enslaved like every demi-human on Fantasma. He once tried to interfere, but the human interpreted he's act as a larger threat and an omen to a disaster, and started to form a coalitions and launch a war on him and the lizard men, which resulting on him nearly being killed and hundred thousand of his kin were killed and forced to flee their homes.
"Well I don't see any problem in doing that…sure tell your Kin to come into Aeternum…But, they all have o follow my nation rules and law…just because you asked for it..I wont bend the rules
"So..in conclusion, we now had the protections of an Ancient Dragon..in exchange for sheltering his Kin?..". (Elijah)"Yes..you should have our side ready for the Dragonkin...I tell him to hurried his people to come in before the next year...Just treat them the same as any citizen..".I revealed the news after the meeting with Griksu'um were done, the old Dragon already left to his new hill and probably mention the news to his people. Apparently, Elijah had deployed the entire Army to My mansion, but the Protective magic shield was cast by the old dragon that encompassed the whole mansion preventing them.At first, everyone was worried about me, but after explaining everything, whole Aeternum back to normal, Elijah and the ladies were also delighted with the unforeseen fortune. Apparently having a dragon as an ally was a big thing, In the end, everything is great."Mina, is there any movement from the Church?…"."There's
As I back on Earth, there's nothing much happen, except for the fact that Virtue Financial is now listed as the top 50 most profitable company in the world, and Finally, Catherine had her face print up in the Times Magazine, Which is her dreams.No one knows that I already start to read and study every report for the last 2 weeks, and thankfully everything was alright. T.A.S also has stopped purchasing stocks and started to reinforce the stock of all companies that
Hearing my ridiculous suggestions, instead of refusing, Hwang Hwa Young agreed to it. Actually I'm just saying suggesting it because I know it will annoy Jang Ye Gum, and at the same time it will certainly thwart my stupid ambitious staff plans. Needless to say Hwang Hwa Young even though she's a decent and gentle person, she's also an opportunist, Having a public relationship with me surely will boost her popularity.In short both of us gain from this move, she got her foothold stable thus repairing her tarnished reputations and I got my the Jang Consortium off guard and disciplining my staff at the same time."Dae Jung-Ssi….have our people relocate Hwang Hwa Young to one of our House and tighten the security..didn't you say that you have cousin working in the entertainment industry?.."."Ah yes..my second cousin work at a small entertainment agency..".(Bang Dae Jung)"Wait..does Virtue own t
As the Elevator reaches the 39th floor where's the meeting was taken place, the 1st person that I saw as the door opened was Catherine."Mies..". (Catherine)Clearly short on breath, she's obviously running to greet me.
After the spectacle ended and the crowd already being dismissed, I head to CEO Ran office along with Catherine and Ran Hyun Ok. Her office was definitely the best place in this building 1/3 of the floor was her office, it was as luxurious as it can be. Right now, i'm the only one who sit on the sofa in her lounge, whilst Ran Hyun Ok and Catherine were standing up in front of me."There's a reason why I put you on top Catherine…it's because I believe you can handle the job...when you decided to put your apprentice this position..I agree because you guaranteed it…I won't make this long…this is your 1st strike…..2 more and you're out…Understood?."."Yes Sir..". (Catherine & Ran Hyun Ok)Friends or not work is work, I won't be lenient for anything. Nodding at my seriousness, both of them finally heaved a sigh of relief."Good, next time when something like thi
"Ken, I remember that you said before that you have some friend that are really good in designing a fantasy world technology..can you let me see them?..".At one time I remember that Ken actually said that he got some friend in his club that are very good at designing a fantasy world technologies, what's more interesting was their design is actually really good and practical, also they were actually a professional engineer and designer."Ohh..them?..well of course, but all of them are back at the states....why? You need someone to design stuff for you?..". (Ken)Still chewing on his food, ken look at me."Well yes…I need a lot of thing to be done…"."Why them?….". (Ken)"Because if they were just like what you describe, then everything is going to be simpler for me…because they actually knew what they will be dealing with…I want to develo
True to their worth, the design that I bought from Ken friends was really practical. The design was meticulously done, the details were even outstanding, honestly, if I just brought back all of them to Fantasma it could be built by just following the print.I bought everything in the thumb drive that consists of thousands of blueprint, I also offer to buy any blueprint or idea that they may come up in the future, as long as it were a fantasy fusion technology simil
As always in the entertainment industries, a fabricated love story was common, so Hwang Hwa Young openly saying she's in a relationship was quite normal, but the fact that she was a C list celebrity and a high profile entrepreneur like me, that fact alone made everyone suspicious. Hwang Hwa Young was basically pushed into a corner by the female MC who asking for her to call me."he's quite a busy person..so…". (Hwang Hwa Young)
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
In the heart of New City, the nerve center of Aeternum’s military operations—The Black House War Room—was abuzz with activity. Communication officers called out coordinates, screens lit up with battlefield updates, and every second was accounted for as the final stages of the Alemia campaign unfolded. Vice President Elijah, seated on the imposing Command Throne, presided over it all with her usual steely composure.But then, a phone rang—a call not routed through the usual secure military channels. The sudden interruption brought the entire room to a halt. All eyes turned to Elijah as she picked up the receiver.“This is Vice President Elijah,”she announced firmly.A familiar but timid voice greeted her.“Vice President Elijah… this is Queen Romella of Alemia.”The room fell into complete silence. Every officer present held their breath, straining to catch any hint of what was being said. The weight of the unexpected call hung heavily in the air.Elijah’s voice turned ice-cold, her t
