"Why are they still leaving?!" roared King Osvald of Ferent.

His advisor paled but answered, "Because, Your Majesty, their stomachs cannot eat words."

Even as they doubled taxes and restricted border crossings, even as they posted more soldiers at checkpoints, the people still vanished. It became an open secret. Guards would glance the other way for a handful of silver.

Minor lords would falsify departure records, their own pockets lined by desperate families. Even the soldiers tasked with stopping them dreamed of slipping away someday.

In the Black House, I reviewed the migration reports with a calm, measured eye. Selie stood by, patiently awaiting my remarks.

"How many more?" I asked, not because I didn’t know, but because I wanted to hear it out loud.

"Estimated tens of thousands this month alone, sir," she replied. "The migration waves are growing. Many of them don't even care which UNA nation they reach. They just want to get away from the decay."

    The ANS Dawnbreaker, one of Fleet 02’s destroyers, locked on immediately. Two missiles streaked across the sky. The first hit the creature’s midsection, blasting through muscle and bone. The second struck its eye, detonating deep within its skull.The explosion rocked the waters and the beast thrashed in agony before finally sinking beneath the waves, never to rise again. The sailors aboard the Dawnbreaker let out a unified cheer, whilst locals aboard their small escort boats wept openly.The unconquerable beast was dead. As the fleets pressed on, they encountered pirates, sea raiders, and rogue militias who had long dominated the river networks and coastal regions.But these medieval marauders, armed with rickety ships and iron cannons, found themselves utterly outmatched. Against Aeternum’s modern destroyers, missile systems, and naval infantry, they were no more than pebbles before a landslide.The pirates who dared approach were blown out of the water before their cannons could ev

    As part of the Project Water Highway charter, Aeternum would construct modern harbors in each participating UNA nation complete with cranes, dry docks, cargo zones, and living quarters for joint naval patrols.The harbors would not belong to Aeternum alone, but would serve as shared hubs for all UNA nations. Each would fly both the flag of its host nation and the blue-and-gold banner of the UNA. Local dockworkers, merchants, and sailors would be trained to handle the coming surge of trade. For many small nations, this was the first time they would have direct access to global commerce.A revolution. A chance to rise. chance to finally connect. In his office, I—President Mies Sai—watched the early reports roll in.Selie, my ever-reliable secretary, stood by with a tablet in hand. "Fleet 01 and 02 have made initial contact with multiple monster nests along their assigned routes. Combat reports suggest high resistance, but no casualties so far.""Good," I muttered, sipping my tea. "And t

    "You can really start your own business after this?" Jason asked, his voice cautious but hopeful.Garth chuckled. "Here in Aeternum? Of course. There’s paperwork, yes, but it’s doable. Especially if you can read the contracts yourself. And believe me, that diploma? It tells people you’re serious. They respect that."Jason’s dream, the one he thought he’d buried long ago, slowly resurfaced. Back in his homeland, his family had been shoemakers for generations. His father, his grandfather—they all made and repaired shoes by hand.But war, taxes, and the crushing weight of poverty had ground that dream to dust. Now, in Aeternum, it seemed possible again. Jason began talking with his classmates, asking questions, seeking advice. Many of them had connections—a cousin working at the tannery, a neighbor who sold tools for leatherwork."Start small," one suggested. "Open a stall first before dreaming of a shop.""Be sure to register properly," another warned. "There are government offices that

    "Ladies, you’ve all worked well today. But remember, sewing is not the only thread you should weave. You must also weave knowledge."She passed out small flyers. "This is the Night School schedule. Six months. Three hours each night, from eight to eleven. Low fees—ten credits a month. The government supports it."Mara read the flyer carefully. Mrs. Jenner continued, "When I first came here, I was a slave from Alemia. I had nothing. But Aeternum freed me. My husband, a kind Aeternum soldier, gave me his trust, and when he passed, his pension allowed me to start this shop."The room grew silent, every woman listening intently. "My son married an immigrant like you, and now we run this shop together. I hire immigrant women not out of charity but because I know you all work harder than anyone else. But work alone is not enough. You must learn. You must read. You must count. You must write your names proudly. The nobles used to be the only ones with knowledge, but here, in Aeternum, knowle

    “They know, sir,” she said one morning, placing the latest file on my desk. “They see our success. They see the Peacekeepers. The trade. The security.”“But they won’t do anything about it,” I replied, sipping my coffee.“Correct. They talk. They grumble. But ultimately, they’re paralyzed by their own fear of failure.”“They want our results,” I mused, “but they don’t want to take our risks.”I tapped the side of my mug thoughtfully. “And their people?”“Still slipping into UNA nations in waves,” Elijah confirmed. “It’s not just workers now. Entire families. Craftsmen. Young scholars. They’re coming to study, to work, to live. They want what our cities offer.”“And we will let them,” I said with a slow, deliberate smile. “Every hand that crosses into our lands is another piece added to our machine. They will strengthen us. Their kings will remain blind until it’s too late.”Elijah chuckled softly. “Do you think they’ll ever realize?”I leaned back in my chair, gazing at the peaceful s
