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
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
Beyond just housing, Project Haven was an ecosystem of opportunity.Officer Calloway continued explaining the many opportunities available to the refugees:Public schools were being built for their children, where education was free for all—boys and girls alike. Aeternum-funded hospitals offered medical care without cost, something unheard of in the Empire. Job training programs had already started, helping former farmers, craftsmen, and even soldiers find new roles in society.And, most importantly—There were no nobles.No ruling elite to oppress them.No forced conscription, no tax collectors stripping them of their hard-earned food, no death sentences for speaking against a ruler.For the first time in history, these people were citizens, not subjects.As the tour ended, Calloway clapped his hands together and smiled."Any questions?" he asked.The refugees remained silent, overwhelmed.Mara stepped forward, her heart pounding."How can we repay this kindness?" she asked.Calloway
The rolling plains of Alemia Region had once been battle-scarred and ruined by civil war. The lands, once soaked in despair and ruled by corrupt nobles, now thrived under Aeternum’s governance. The change was nothing short of miraculous.And at the center of this transformation was Project Haven—Aeternum’s most ambitious infrastructure project yet.Stretching over hundreds of kilometers, Project Haven was designed to house, rehabilitate, and integrate the 500,000 refugees who had fled from the oppressive grasp of the Battle Star Empire.What was once empty land was now a vast construction site, bustling with workers, engineers, and military personnel overseeing the rapid urban expansion. Tower cranes reached toward the sky, steel beams framed new residential buildings, and hundreds of machines worked tirelessly to create a city unlike any other in the world.This was Project Haven—Aeternum’s gift to those seeking a second chance.Among the many refugees was Mara Elise, a former citize
"Project Haven is now in full swing," she announced, satisfaction evident in her tone. "As planned, my Ministry has allocated seventy percent of the project to public bidding."That immediately caught my attention. "Good move. We need to expand the private sector’s capabilities in large-scale infrastructure development."Andrea leaned back in her chair. "The response has been overwhelming. Many companies are eager to participate, and some are even willing to work for lower profits just to secure a spot in the project."I grinned. "Competition breeds excellence. That means we’ll get high-quality results at a faster pace."Elijah nodded in agreement. "We’re not just building infrastructure—we’re fostering economic growth."Andrea smirked. "Exactly. Project Haven isn’t just about housing the refugees—it’s about creating jobs, expanding industries, and ensuring that Aeternum’s economy flourishes."With half a million refugees now inside Aeternum, the next challenge was integration.Elijah
“How… how does this place exist?” she asked hesitantly.The woman smiled kindly, but there was a hint of amusement in her golden eyes. “This is Aeternum,” she said. “And if you think this is impressive… just wait until you see the capital.”Marie and Madeline found themselves in a crowded plaza, where refugees were being processed for temporary housing and work permits. A man—a former Empire soldier—stood beside them, his arms crossed and eyes dark with unease.He had expected harsh treatment, possibly execution. Instead, a polite officer handed him a form and simply said, “You’ll be assigned to manual labor duty in the city cleanup effort. After three months of good conduct, you’ll be eligible for a new job.”He stared at the officer in disbelief.“Just… like that?” he whispered.The officer raised an eyebrow. “What, did you think we’d cut your head off?”The soldier didn’t answer. Because that’s exactly what would’ve happened in the Empire. Marie watched his expression crumble, as i
That night, Aeternum Special Forces operatives moved swiftly.At the city granaries, timed magic explosives were discreetly planted, set to ignite just before dawn. The city's key merchant houses received false messages, each forged to appear as if their rivals had plotted against them.Two high-ranking commanders of Velkan’s security forces were silently assassinated, their deaths staged as an internal betrayal. By the next morning, Velkan descended into anarchy. With food supplies mysteriously destroyed, merchants at each other’s throats, and security forces crippled, riots broke out across the city.The Empire’s forces stationed nearby? They were too afraid to step in, fearing yet another noble feud.As the fourteenth and final day of the operation arrived, General Xing stood on the hills outside Velkan, watching through his binoculars as the city descended into madness. The streets were filled with smoke from burning buildings, merchants clashed violently, and governors had begun
-New City – The Presidential Office-In the heart of New City, the capital of Aeternum, President Kaiser Mies Sai sat in his office, listening intently as Vice President Elijah outlined the current situation. Ministers Andrea of Resource Development and Rafela of Health, Education, and Science were also present, reviewing projections and risk assessments."With the sheer number of refugees arriving, we have two immediate concerns," Elijah stated, placing two documents in front of the President. "First, food and medical supplies. Second, permanent housing and employment. Without a clear plan, we risk destabilizing our own economy."President Mies skimmed the reports before nodding. “We’re already in the process of integrating Alemia Region, and now we have to build an entirely new infrastructure from scratch to support these people.”“That’s where Project Haven comes in,” Andrea interjected. She pulled out detailed blueprints, rolling them open across the large conference table. "We’ve
Alessia smirked. "Then it’s a good thing I’m here to help."Rose raised a curious brow. "Help? How?"The vampire turned her piercing gaze toward the director, a sly smile forming on her lips. "The President wants the Battle Star Empire to plunge into a massive state of confusion."Rose blinked. "Define 'massive confusion’?"Alessia placed a gloved hand on the table and leaned forward. "Aeternum has been extracting refugees under the Empire’s nose without them realizing. But it’s only a matter of time before they start piecing things together. Before that happens, we need to make sure they have bigger problems to worry about."Rose smirked. "Sabotage?"Alessia nodded. "Exactly. If the Empire is preoccupied with internal chaos, their forces won’t have the manpower or resources to focus on hunting refugees. I’ve already mobilized several of my best operatives from Wasteland Command. Our objective is to destabilize key areas near the border—supply chains, noble estates, military outposts.
