Aeternum Black House, War Room.
"Point A secured, hostile subdued..requesting to proceed to point B..". (Platoon A leader)Inside the War Room, all officer was busy fully dedicated to doing their job, Mina, Elijah, and me were silently watching the whole mission under progress. Point A was already fully controlled, no casualties on my soldier, not even injuries, everything was perfect."Platoon Leader, permission granted you are clear to move out…also dragged the bodies and prisoner along with you..". (Major Juliet)"Roger that Judgement..". (Platoon A leader)Of course, there's a prisoner detained, not all the knights on point A fought, they have been caught in a surprising attack, naturally, due to the sheer firepower from Platoon A and B, it was enough to make them get PTSD."Dragon nest, this is Judgement do you copy?..". (Major Juliet)"Judgement this is Dragon nest..proceed copAlemia Nation, Alemia Capital City.Alemia Capital city has finally entered it's peaceful and stable state after a long time of silence and defiance from its citizen, all of it thanks to the Aeternum Radio broadcast that has shed the light on the truth of Queen Romella actions. Still, the city was far from safe, as the city itself was under attack by the Noble Coalition several times in the course of the past 6 months, now thanks to the Stampede Months, the invading attacks have slow down but the monster attacks was still a concern.The public views on the current monarchy have change 360 degrees, the citizen has now admired the Queen that they once show hatred for, Queen Romella was different from the previous King and other noble who ruled the nation before, during the time of Stampede Moths she has personally attend the wall to personally battled the stampede that attacks the wall of Alemia capital city.Just after the siege battl
Alemia Capital City, Alemia Castle.After the Prince has safely arrived unharmed to the capital city, the previous palpable tension atmosphere in the castle was lessened. Everyone was happy and in a festive mood, to them who have tasted defeat so many times, just the safety of their prince was already qualified to be celebrated. A small celebration dinner was hosted by the Queen inside the castle, she invited all the noble that supported her and the guest of Honor Director Mot."Today we celebrate the arrival of my precious Crown Prince..also the Successful collaboration with Aeternum!!..Cheerrss!!!…". (Queen Romella)Happily presented her toast to the whole room."Cheerrss!!..".(Nobles)Her good mood was shared among her avid supporter, though the environment was definitely merry, the attendee was merely in 2 digits number. Unlike the whole crowd, Director Mot who originally a
WARNING R-18!!!!As both us were the only people in the Office, with the scenic views of the starry skies outsides and the dim light inside my office, everything was perfect and romantic for both of us. Andrea was standing right beside me, and, I am in my seat next to her, Suddenly with the coffee in my hand, my body started to heat up and my eyes which enjoying the view of the starry sky moved to the woman next to me.Andrea was wearing her usual uniform, a tight collared white shirt and tight pencil skirt with a high cut, showing her white thick thigh. Although she was in her mid 30's, her figures and beauty were top notches, she was the embodiment of a perfect sexy MILF, her brown hair was tied into a bun, seeing how her clothes stick to her skins made me who's curse has been acting up, glued to her back view.No longer able to contained myself, my hand finally touching her white thigh, as our bared skin contacted each o
I spend the whole night together with Andrea, The action was, of course, continue from the office to my private room at the mansion. Now I'm already on Earth, though I give the situation for Elijah and the others to handle, for now, I'm sure they will do just fine without me. I had to get back since I needed a lot of stuff to proceed with the war smoothly, Weapons and machinery is a must.Moreover, I wanted a Fighter Jet, simply because I want to make a statement that will make every single one of my enemies or possible enemy think twice before making move on Aeternum. After getting back to my mansion, the first thing I do was to contact, Lee Han Na and Derek Krawoski, at first they were shocked about my request, even with their vast underworld connection, obtaining a Jet Fighter wasn't something that easy to do, as the thing was very tightly regulated.I Understood their point of views since they need a little bit of time to prepare for it, I decided to let th
Being popular was kinda feels like a dream to me, I do want to feel them, but I definitely don't put it in thought too much. The work that I've done and my past life would be better let buried in the shadows. With the whole security staff guarding the path for me, I can safely walking with ease, but, since there's apparently people shouting my name, I have to reply to them by smiling politely. There's no need to be an ass when there no reason to, Ran Hyun Ok were already waiting at the end of the line for me."Sir, good morning..". (Ran Hyun Ok)Politely greets me as she walks beside me."Morning…how's everything?…good?.."."Yes…our stock continues to rise as always…Virtue Cosmetics has also managed to broke through the Western market…Also, we have stopped purchasing new stock and continue our efforts to stabilize and strengthen our acquisition of every company that we invested in…". (Ran Hyun Ok)
"Miss Song He Yun, Please have a seat…".As soon as the door was opened and she entered, the sight of me and my line of lawyers shocked her. For sure she does not anticipate having a meeting with me, Considering as to Ran Hyun Ok has been delaying her request, she was prepared to beg to her again today, but now the tide has somehow changed for her, Probably."Mr. Mies, It's my pleasure to meet you, I am Song He Yun, President of Meteor Dynamics…". (Song He Yun)Greets me with a handshake and sits at her chairs on my right."It's quite a predicament that you are in right now…yet, you are still able to preserve until now…such caliber is hard to find nowadays…".I do find her admirable, it's easy to give up but harder to keep it together when the difficult time comes. I understand her to be exact, a company that you built on your own was something that akin to your child, no matter how bad it is, It wil
"I normally don't even care what the company does…because I respected their opinion, but still, since my money was still in their hands…at the very least I don't want to see it got to waste…".The meeting was already ended, so does the mind games between both of us. We currently inside Virtue cafeteria, having our lunch, Song He Yun was pleased to accompany me and seems eager to get on my good side."That's is understandable…but, one thing that struck my thought…why would you willing to spend so much for Meteor Dynamics…". (Song He Yun)"...Because I need it…I want to buy stuff from you…from Meteor Dynamics…".As I said, she stopped her spoon and look straight at me."…off record?..". (Song He Yun)Instead of rejecting, she seems to know what in my mind."Yes..large amount, and fast….I know what you were thinking…this stuff won't
"Yes I invested in it…Don't worry it's only for my personal use…nothing will come out of it that will potentiality affected Virtue.."."[It's better be that way, if any smokes come out…you handle everything yourselves…].". (Catherine)Apparently, she caught wind of it, Catherine knew about the meeting and the deal I signed with Meteor Dynamics. She was very furious about it, but since I told her that I will be handling everything, she let it go, ultimately she knew I'm good at what I am doing and after all, it's my money that I spent."Is something wrong?…". (Hwang Hwa Young)Carefully read my face, as I talk to on the phone for a few minutes."Emm?…no, it's nothing, just some work stuff…By the way, is 'this' normal for you?…".I pointed out at the outside of the windows, where there's a bunch of fans and reporters just sat outside
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
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
