Back at the Virtue Financial Asia Branch in Seoul at the 10th floor of the headquarter building, everything on that floor were currently operating at the full capacity. From outside the floor and in fact the entire building, everything seems like normal, very quite and peaceful. As a matter of fact, in these entire Virtue Financial Headquarter building, there is 3 floors that were restricted from access, one is the top most floor, which is the President office, second is the 40th floor and up as there were the office of the CEO of Virtue Financial Asia Branch, Ran Hyun Ok and the last one was the 10th to 12th floor, which where the Virtue Financial Risk Management team were based at.Not many can even ascend to these floor, so no body knows who worked there even for the normal Virtue Financial employee, only those that were at Team Leader levels know what in there and can set foot in that 3 floors. Still, Virtue Financial Risk Management team is a famous team inside of Virtue Financia
“Shutting Down site……Site had been shut down, fully…no complications detected…Ma’am…we are clear to go!..”. (Kim Yeon Seo)On the floor, in front of the most complicated computer and probably the most expensive hardware inside the entire office, Kim Yeon Seo, had taken the role of the Computer specialist for the entire Risk Management team. These roles is previously owned by Park Zuo yung in the team but since she is now a at a different level from the team, she was no longer in charged of such things. Kim Yeon Seo shouted from her seat, alarming everyone of her progress.“Stream Monitor, situations?..”.(Choi Jin Su)“.…All stream on the site is down and offline!…no one of our target is on streams on the site or even attempted to steam or post anything on the other side!…all clear madam..”. (Observation Staff)The leaders of the observations staff, pulled up the current situations on the large screen in the largest monitor to prove her findings to the rooms, and this had made sure tha
When the operations were started by Bang Dae Jung Team and Park Min Su, there were almost to no reactions to the entire neighbourhood and even the inside resident of the building itself. This not because the operations were done silently, but rather the entire building filled with people in it seems to not even cared about what is happening to the building right now. That alone were a large enough sign to say, that these building and in fact the entire neighbourhood itself were not safe. And such things, including violence and even police raids were a normal occurrence here.But still, the White Star Entertainment, actually made these dangerous community and these dilapidated building as the dormitory for their employee, especially to all the streamers under their agency, on top of that, these building, the females were just placed in a packed apartments, cramping to 10 people in a single apartment that only have 2 or 3 rooms. According to the information the team had received, the pl
The moment Bang Dae Jung and the rest of the Alpha team rushed into the apartment, every single person that were inside of the apartment were shocked and stunned. There were 5 gangsters inside the apartment, and all of them were gathered inside the living room. They were in the middle of their down time, all of them were caught lazying around and bantering with one another. Then suddenly a group of armed men busted through the door and on top of that, all of them were wearing full combat gears.“What the??..WHO..HUKK!!..”. (Skinny Gangster)“ON THE FUCKING GROUND!!..YOU SCUMBAG!!..move and I swear I will blow your fucking head!!..”. (Alpha Team Agent 3)There is no toleration given whatsoever at all, the moment Alpha Agent comes through the room, they did not wait, instead 5 of the agents, rushed and immediately subdued all the gangsters. All of them were handled roughly without even letting a single one of the speaks anything. Every single one of the gangsters were slammed on
On top of the bed, still tied to the bed post, were a bald fat old man, wearing nothing on him, but just a dog collar, a mouth gag and a leash. Bang Dae Jung and Agent 2 could only looked at the man with disgust and awkwardness, as BJ Miss Lady torture were grabbing the bags that she had prepared before hand and also changing her clothes at the edge of the room. The man were clearly still tied up and still processing what is happening inside the room before his eyes, he could hear and see the 2 Alpha team agent looking at him, and the miss were running all over the room gathering her belonging.“By the way, Miss..who is this person?..”. (Bang Dae Jung)Unable to withstand his curiosity, Bang Dae Jung asked in a lower tone voiced. Since all the agents the were participating in these operation wearing a full on gears, that includes the full face mask, they can be bold about anything without fearing of their identity getting revealed or getting find out.“This one?…he is this area police
Ever since from the start, when both team Alpha and Beta raided the building, all the inhabitants that lived inside of the apartment buildings didn’t dared to even comes out of their house. They heard clearly the shouts and also the muffled gunshots that rang on the entire building, still all of them acted like there is nothing wrong about it. This kind of reaction made everything even easier for the 2 teams to do their task, without even worrying that anyone would witness or even possibly testified about these matters.After all, when someone were living in these kinds of conditions and on this kind of places, it was natural for everyone to have their own history and problems, they definitely doesn’t want to get involved in it. Also this building were own by the gangsters, to them this kind of incident is probably the gang wars, or perhaps the drama that were created by the police and the gangsters. It was the usual drama in their every day lives. So who cares about what happened out
Just like what their been ordered to do, both Bang Dae Jung and also Park Min Su moved their respected teams following the said instructions, without delaying any longer. Just like they have been told, the extractions vehicles were already there waiting for everyone. Parked right outside of the building at the side of the road were 5 Black Van with dark tinted windows. With Bang Dae Jung second in command, Monroe organizing the extractions and leading all the BJ Streamers to get on the van, everything moving smoothly right now.“Looks like I will be off to work first..”. (Bang Dae Jung)Standing at the entrance of the building looking at the rest of his Alpha team members getting on the extractions vehicles, he speaks to Park Min Su.“Seems like it, Sunbeanim…now I understand why we have to take this kind of measures…at first, I thought this was too extreme…looks like we have to do this…because what we were up against..is no joke at all..”. (Park Min Su)Standing to Bang Dae Jung left
Since he was tasked to be the one that oversees everything that were left behind. Actually amongst those that were in the Beta Team only him and his second in command were the people that he knows about, the rest under him were unknown to him, but thankfully all of them were following his order without any problem at all, but deep down he knows for certain that all that were following under him were not from simple background at all. Because all of them were well trained, almost to even be a soldier like style.Even the ‘cleaners’ that just comes in doesn’t say much of anything to him, instead all that they do is asked him were the bodies were and if the building were secure and off the threat. After that they just went in and started their work without any questions at all, they were like an ant, working fast and hard without any delay at all. PArk Min Su and his team waited for the Cleaning team to be done with their work for at least 20 minutes or so, by then everything inside the
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
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
