By now I am sure that to those that watched the news they all probably knew that I am injured while the fights were going on. Then when I got to the hospital, somehow the news got more traction and perpetuate even more that it have to. For some reason, in the news and tabloids, my injuries had somehow worsened from just a punctured hand, and not people actually believe that in the midst of the fights that weren’t shown on the camera, I somehow got shot in a chest, then there were some news that were saying that I am now limbless and in a critical state.“.…I’m not going to say anything about this…but somehow I felt bad about myself…for some reason, I am in a critical conditions…and probably going to die…”.I put down the papers that I’m reading and chuckled to myself. I am right now, inside my Private Suite, in Haneul University Hospital. No one were here, as right now, it was the second day after the incident. I have send everyone to do their task, and I am sure by now every single o
After getting to know what the government reactions going to be and their plans of actions. It only left me rubbing my temple in annoyance, I can’t believe with all the bread crumbs that I left them, this much were the only thing that they can do. I have set the stage for them, to actually become an entity that will shoot them straights to winning the elections if done right, but they actually went and shoot themselves on their foots. Thinking that by doing this they can pacify me and Virtue Financial and also wine some brownie points for the elections.I thought those old fogies on the government will know what to do with the clues I left for them. But no, they were so caught up in the moment that they just go right in and act in a single motions like a brainless chicken. The moves to catch Byeon Seung Min were already correct, but with the rest of the arrest that they done, this will only do one thing. That the old senator will walk away unscathed like always. In fact, he even walk
The last few days has been hectic for everyone, and now entering the third day after the incident. Even Hwa Young had already felt better of herself, naturally after the incident, with Mies getting himself hurt, and subsequently she herself had a little scratch here and there and also shaken her mental state, Hwa Young and to be admitted to the hospital. After treatments, she is getting better and healthier that before, when the morning sun is up, Hwa Young were getting ready to meet with the love of her life again, it’s too long for me to meet with him again.“Oh~aren’t you Miss Hwang Hway Young?..the actress?..”. (Coffee Shop Cashier)“Ah…yes, that’s me..um, can I get a cup of Chamomile tea, and also a Cup of Hazelnut Coffee, extra strong..and also, one of those croissant and that strawberry pie and that strawberry shortcake, please?…”. (Hwang Hwa Young)By now, thanks to her celebrity status for so long such things no longer fazed her. Still even though she were wearing her Hospita
Often times, when I am in my working environment, I tend to lose myself in the focus. Also, on top of that, I had a rather peculiar ways of doing my job, and that is I am rather an organized person. So, naturally the situations last night called for me to brainstorm myself for a new solutions. Right now, there’s 5 large white board inside my Private ward and they were all filled with writings, and pieces of paper on them, I have listed all the possibilities of everything that can goes wrong on the plan, and how it would panned out for me and also the enemy.“This…is just infuriating…no matter what, I do…none of the possibilities will fully favour me…in fact most of the plans will jeopardize Virtue Financial…and put me on the spot….which is something that I have always trying to avoid..”.[Well, Master…it seems that way…I also have made a calculations…no matter what…at the end of the day…Virtue Financial will be linked to all of these…also, thanks to this..we cannot erect a justice th
As both of my morning visitors have a very keen interest at the whole things that I wrote all over the room, I on the other hand were enjoying my warm breakfast, Coffee and pastry that Hwa Young bought tasted more delicious than the hospital foods. Then again, just her company already able to make my day bubblier, that is just how she is. Both of the ladies went all around the room, each times were exclaiming in a gasp as they read the information that were in there. A few minute later both of them had enough with looking everything and comes back to sit with me at the Coffee table. Choi Ji Soo, being one of my personal medical experts, went and performed a check on me.“Oppa..is that all….this….every single one of that report and writings..are they really true?..”. (Hwang Hwa Young)Hwa Young pointed at the whiteboards fulled with information. She looks a little bit worried and also unable to really believe everything. At the same time so does Doctor Choi Ji Soo as she sat down after
Of many of the information that I had plastered on all the whiteboards, there were actually numbers of pressing issues that are happening that need concerns, but then again, I understand Hwa Young pleads, after all, those teenagers were easy to manipulates by White Star Entertainment, they were big companies and certainly harm them the fastest if we look away for them for a minutes. This has happened a lot of times already, now that we knows it, time had made us wanted to help them. And most certainly the case for Hwa Young.“...I understand you worries, Hwa Young…but…unfortunately…I am afraid as of now..we can barely do a thing to the White Star Entertainment…thins has been rather to hot right now….I can’t and unable to just reach at them…”.That is true, Virtue Financial, at the moment cannot at openly against White Star Entertainment, because if we do, by then they would already knows who had cause them the damage all this time. Beside the issues that I know, was rather something t
Although to others the sight of a private company, or in fact a company in nature somehow have the power to be able to interfere in an elections of ones democratic elections seems not likely in the old days, but as of now, in the modern world, such things can happened in fact, in politics it plays a rather significant roles. As a matter of fact, a lot of elections nowadays operates that ways, even though such actions were despised by the public, that does not means that it cannot happened. Even though the people hates it, but still these kind of hidden transactions happened and cannot simply be denied.The truth is, I believe that every political elections, moves and issues were mostly driven by 2 factors one is the issues that attracted a lot of concerned for the mass. And second, is when something were correlated with a lot of money, of the 2 reasons, the reason number 2 always get a lot of movement and debated rather intensely most of the times. So, if and when Virtue Financial, wh
I for one, not really care about family connections or whatever it might be, to me what is more important is how they were going to be valuable to me and how they will achieve what I wanted if I were to invest in them. The fact that Minister Choi Han Na were related to Doctor Choi Ji Soo, is not an issue to me at all, after all, before her name comes out of Doctor Choi Ji Soo mouths, Minister Choi Han Na already made it into my shortlisted of potential candidates. Her name were on the top 3 because, unlike any other candidates, she was young, intellectuals, radical, steadfast and the most important thing of all, she is viciously opportunist, frighteningly so, that she were almost an uncanny resemblance of Catherine.She is someone that isn’t afraid to do anything to get the result that she wanted, one of the famous known issues that made her well known is how she were able to get VH-Serum universally certified as a legal treatments, she actually saw the benefits of it, and since then
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
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
