1 week has passed since I let Bina lead the Alemia southern region to conquer mission. She was able to complete every single mission there successfully, which shocked even me. She actually bulldozed every single target with sheer power, thanks to her, the Southern region has fallen to Alemia Royals controls. Ultimately with Alemia gain full control over the region, the possibility of other nation's influence in the war can be eliminated.
"We obtained and confiscated all the slaves in the southern regions…but, it is not possible to keep it under the radar if we used the same conquered city as the transport points….". (Andrea)Of course, at the same time as the conquering phase was undergoing, the Resource Department was task to acquired all the slaves in the five regions. But to my shocked, the number of slaves in those five regions was counted for over a million people."I agree…then we should transport all the rescued to a safeAlemia Capital, Alemia Nation.Following the suggestion from Aeternum ruler, President Mies, Queen Romella, and her minister cabinet have agreed to fully take control of all of the regions from east, south, and west. South Region was already 80% subjugated, all the regions which were bordering the rivals nation have been fully brought under control by the glorious savage demoness red general herself General Bina Murook of Aeternum army.Due to her appearance in the region alone made every noble coalition member shivers in fear, her achievement even instilled awe and fear amongst the Alemia military commander. According to the Alemia official reports who act together with her division as a settlement soldier, She actually just personally bulldozed her way in on each stronghold they encounter, slaughtering every enemy that crossed her way with her large black and red double war axe. But despite her seemingly demonic way in war, she wa
"Well there's nothing wrong with them tries to handle their own problem…we should just let them do what they want…".After Queen Romella said that she will be conquering Count Drakul territory in the West region, Elijah and the other went sours, as for me I just let them be. There's nothing to be upset about, she clearly said that everything will be on their own expenses, and nothing of it will implicate on us."But…this war was built on an alliance, even if they tried to do it on their own..at the very least they should include our men in it..". (Bina)Bina was the only one who in the meeting via video conference. In a sense, she does have the right to get angry at this decision, at this point every battle was vital to her men, as it all will be served as a valuable real-time battle experience. Although my Army can be considered at the top tier in the central continent, a battle experience was something that we lack, a real sold
The region where the Dynasty Alter were found was in the territory of Count Miller, to be more exact the forest it situated at was Long Bark forest. Long Bark forest was a fairly secluded forest that were known to be a home to a Undead species monster’s, it encompassed of 3km2 right in the edged of Miller county, next to the forest village that has been turned into my Airship temporary port.
"Seriously boss, a Lich?…are you sure just us three were enough?..". (Alehandro)Unlike Sasu who just silently sharpening his short sword, Alehandro, on the other hand, was fussing all over the place. He was actually scared for his life and was questioning my sanity to dare to challenge a Lich."It is…I'm sure, besides if we somehow can't handle it..we simply just retreat and come back with a reinforcement..".I just said that to calm the panicked dwarf, deep down inside I'm not sure if the Lich we even are able to pose a threat to me, even if it does, I just wanted to fulfill my curiosity about Lich, I wondered if it looks like in the game and movies where it was just an intelligent skeleton."Sasu..have you ever seen a Lich?..". (Alehandro)"..no, but I have encountered a lot of undead monster…the Beaver clan has been fighting against the Undead kinds for so long…I'm sure it's just the same as anoth
Whilst Aeternum was busied down on the southern Alemia, Queen Romella in the Alemia Capital City were busy arranging their campaign to conquer the western region of Alemia on their own, although through their calculation such campaign was certainly hard, it wasn't impossible to do. Determined to show not only to the Aeternum but also to Alemia citizen, Queen Romella herself will lead the conquest wanting to make a statement that even with their own, Alemia can rise to the power and emerged victoriously.At first, when Queen Romella informs President Mies about her intention, she and her cabinet members were afraid that such intention at this time will offend Aeternum. But on the opposite, President Mies, as well as the entire Aeternum, approved and encourage their moves, stating that ' if you think that is the best for you, then, by all means, do so, should you encounter any problem just tell us, we will surely help, after all this is the true meaning of alliance, which i
The day after we arrived at the Forest Village, I and my team have already started our adventure. Today unlike usual, I've decided to take a much more normal method of transportation, which is using the horse-pulled carriage, though Bina insisted on giving us the jeep, I declined, it just that I wanted to spend a bit more time relaxing and immersing myself in the adventurous setting"once in a while just casually strolling in the wilds is kinda exciting…". (Alehandro)Alehandro was the one who drove the carriage and just like what he said, it's not only me but Sasu and him were also enjoying the relaxing time we had."who would've thought that other than our Aeternum, another place in Fantasma was always like this…". (Sasu)Little that they know, compared to the modern earth this kind of experience was almost hard to find, with the modern stone-paved city all over the world, the relaxing and evergreen sight of nature panorama
Fighting against an undead monster certainly has it's own dangers. In video games or movies, defeating an opponent which comes from the dark side a holy attack is required to make the fighting much more easier. The method of attacking a vital point also effective, such as bashing the heads, although I had my prejudice at how effective the movies and game method are, apparently the application in real life was effective.The other thing needs to be addressed was, a real-life undead monster is really deadly, for example, a wraith or a specter, although the can't attack physically, the attack mainly affected their target mentality and soul, this ghost monster is very efficient at casting dark elemental magic and high-level curses. As for the zombie monster, their attack was a bit stronger also whenever they bit their enemies there's a chance a curse called [Turn undead] will be affected ton their victim systems, which mean the victim that affected with this virus will be dea
{New Quest!!}{ Friend Of Wisp }{Deep inside the millennia-old Long Bark forest the Wisp of Spirit has always lived and dwell in peace. But recently there's something that disturbed the peace of this peace-loving being, find and eliminate the source of the disturbance.}{Reward: Flying Land plot.}{Penalty: Full wrath of the Lich & Curse of the Undead cast on your soul.}I carefully study the new quest that I gained a few seconds ago. It has been a long time since I got a quest issued to me, it is kinda exciting to get one, also the reward is something called 'Flying Land-Plot' which no matter how it sound, it was more than enough to pique my interest. Up until now, to be honest, I already have different thought of rewards, money wasn't something that can move me, I am more keen on receiving another ty
“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
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
