"It's the right time to opened them now..who should be handling the Temptations?..".
"I suggest Serena…that girl has experience In the gambling scene..beside she was quite crafty..and that kind of skill set is best put in the temptations.. ". (Elijah)
Serena was from The Maidens, M20 was her code number, she's a fox-kin that falls to slavery after becoming the scapegoat for her previous gambling den boss, she was quite crafty and mischievous but still a nice girl.
"Then Serena it is…I want the sole only to the nobles or the runaway citizen from Alemia nation that possessed lands be allowed to enter the Temptations....our citizen can also entered but they can only enter when they have no debt...Resource Department and Police Department will be working together in controlling the Temptations..Understood?..".
"Yes SIR!..". (Mina & Andrea)
Temptations, the casino na
At the Military base conference room, Mina and her staff were currently busy running all over the place. Since the new order was given out, the Army was in high spirits since they only have a 3 months before the Monster Tide Month, this missions need to be accomplished as soon as possible."Locate Eye of The Beholder den, preferably a dungeons…issued the request for materials on the Mercenary Guilds and Adventurer Guilds..I want all the Special forces and Aeternum 1st division move out and head to the marked locations now!…move it people!!..". (Bina)The day after the meeting with President Mies every department has been completely prompt up their activity, Everyone knew that probably something is going on. In The New City there's also a new fervor going on, the new Casino has already being opened, it attracts many of the Visitors but the only people that spent their time there was mainly the tourist/the richest, Aeternum
Eye of the Beholder is a threat level 4 monster, it's a being of terror to be exact. In Fantasma a single of this monster able to flat an entire large city in a single night, Eye of Beholder was just a oversized single eye with a thousand tentacle around it. The reason why this is monster so highly feared wasn't because it was physically strong, in fact it was quite weak, but it has a whole arsenal of Curses, status attributes ailment attacks and a whole bunch of magic spells. Certainly due to it's annoying abilities, it was ranked as a disaster level existence.Still due to the difficulties and the threat of this monster, people rarely want to fight it, if they were discovered in a dungeon everyone would just evade it and the authority would just close the dungeon entirely. Thanks to that, there's basically unlimited supplies of it all over the central continent, this is one of a reason why Mina Suggest using the skins of Eye of The Beholder rather than D
"HOLD OFF!!..STAND YOUR GROUND!!..".(Xing)It was a chaotic battle in front of The Eye Of Abyss the Level 6 Dungeon, the Dungeon was found about a few months ago by the Dungeon Explorations Division, according to the record it was the most difficult dungeon from in their list, it's all because of the Eye of The Beholder. 3 days ago the subjugation's of this dungeon were given out by the Black House with a top priorities, among the other dungeons only this one were given special attentions with 50 Special Forces were deployed to it.2 days ago when Sergeant Xing who leads the Soldier's arrived at the dungeon, noticed that the Dungeons were already at Stage 3, it immediately shocked him and made him called the HQ right away, which then send a few reinforcements, about 100 soldiers and 200 Mercenary and Soldier who's in the nearby dungeons were rerouted to his place instead of going to their targets. Today despite Xing constantly sending teams
"HAHAHA!!…COME!!!..<SLASH!!!>..".'"<BUSSHII!>..KUAAARRGGHH!!..".I'm really enjoying the adrenaline right now, just like a fish in the water, every swing of my sword there will always be something dead. As I was diving forwards like a bullets through the flesh, I swung my swords horizontally and cut 10 monster to half.[Incoming Cursed attack from the front..]. (T.A.S)"<BOOMMM!!!>…SREEEEEEE!!!!..".Using a pebble that I picked up from the ground as a projectile, with a full power I throw it on The Eye of Beholder 20 meter on my right, the sheer power of my throws penetrate it's entire eye and comes out from its back instantly killing it.It was a hassle to be honest, I don't have any ranged attacks which hinders me from easily killing the oversized eye. I also can't detect their cursed attacks as it doesn't have any sign, not even
[Don't you want to create more technique?..]. (T.A.S)"Not really..I don't find any need to do so…. I just want this Thousand Cherry Blossom, other than that…nahh, what use to have hundreds of techniques when you barely use them..".I'm not like any average human that greedy for dozen of stuff, I'm someone who loved having the things that I need and the thing that I can use, the technique that I have chosen, is best suited my style and I rather want to be proficient at it. Sitting inside the tent that was just erected, I revised the squad roster as there are too many injured men in the medic tent, I need to enter the dungeon fast, for that, I decided to enter the dungeon with Corporal Alehandro the dwarf. I exit the tent and walk towards Sergeant Xing who in the middle of the campsite, busy arranging the work."Sergeant Xing, you handle the situations here..wait for the reinforcement to come and send back the injured to the New City..after
The Flash grenade goes off as we entered the Boss Room, A Single Alpha Minotaur stands in the middle of the room carrying a large crude stone ax, with a towering height of 3 meters and a robust muscular body, certainly, the Alpha Minotaur stood at the league of its own despite being a Threat Level 3 Monster. Still due to the surprised attack, instead of the normal troupe where it's going to bellow in anger, instead the Alpha Minotaur was screaming in agony and confusion as to the sudden overwhelming flash from the Flash grenade temporarily turn it blind."GGGUUOOOAAARRGGGHH!!!..". (Alpha Minotaur)The steroid cow was puzzled and angry at the same time, using its left hand to rub both of its eyes whilst it's right hand swinging its oversized stone ax around."Move to the right..aim for the vital area..go...[BANG!!]".I said to Corporal Alehandro who nodded at my command, we both move to the opposite directions while firing
"Anything?.."."The trail leads further..they stooped a few times probably encountering some monsters..". (Corporal Alehandro)Kneeling on the ground checking on the blood trail that comes from the boss room."Well looks like we found them...Still alive, Alehandro prepares for first aid…Damn that got done pretty bad..".After walking for about another 20 meters, I found 2 body huddle together on the side of the wall. As I got closer both of them were female adventurers, injured, one got a puncture wound on her left shoulder and the other one with silver hair loses her hand. Promptly after hearing my order, Alehandro put on the Barrier Stake covering all of us. I also moved the 2 adventurers and lay them apart from each other, then perform on the spot treatment to prevent their conditions got worsen than it already is.30 minutes passed, I was finally done treating both of them, seeing they got their Adventurer badge on them I run through the
"Boys we going deep and fast!..we are to re-supply on me every 2 floors!!..picked up the pace!!… Sergeant, what are the situations outside?.."."Everything is in control of sir...The Maidens have taken control of everything, Major Collen is the commanding officer..she also going to deploy the Soldier's inside..while, I brought all the Special Force with me…". (Sergeant Xing)It's true, right now we were actually advancing really fast, about 100 special force mowing through the floor killing every monster in sight. Honestly right now, we basically already got this dungeon under control, it doesn't matter if it's a boss or a normal mob, the firepower alone bore a hole to everything in a matter of seconds. I could just leave everything to my boys here, but since this is a rare chance for me to enjoy a few moments of hunting I actually wanted to see the final boss of this dungeon.After one hour we already on the 14th floor, right now all 100 members o
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
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
