"How about it Mr. Mies, was it enough to satisfy your needs?..". (Lee Han Na)
She asked me as we both walk out of a large warehouse in her private secret compound."Yes indeed, looks like choosing you and Krawoski is the best choice…I'm gonna be paying all of this in gold...I also need you and Krawoski to turn my gold into cash can you do that?…"."We can do that, how many are we talking about here?..". (Lee Han Na)Paying in gold wasn't a rare thing in this field of business."About 2 billion worth of gold…just deduct the cost of everything here from that and transfer the remaining amount to this account.."."...Of course, consider it settle…you can expect the remaining amount will be transferred to the account in 5 days from now…". (Lee Han Na)Hearing the sheer amount of gold I'm telling her to handle made her perplex a little bit, but slowly smiles creep back on her lips, it's rarAs I reducing the amount of my paperwork, T.A.S still haven't give up my rewards for the quest completions. I was wondering what is that damaged magical observer."TAS…I'm still waiting though…".[Ding!….{Trouble Water Pt.1 Quest completed}…Rewards available for collections…Traveller Assisted System ready for upgrade…perform upgrade Now?..Yes/No..]. (T.A.S)"Postponed upgrade…now, where's that magical observer?..".[Your Soldier already obtained it…asked your staff for a Weird Cube..]. (T.A.S)Just like what T.A.S Said, I asked Elijah to have her Staff to look for a weird cube from the Bandits Loots, I only waited for a few minutes before Major Eliza from Resource department comes into my office with a 10x10 inch Silver cube in her hand. After putting the cube on my table, she left and leave me alone in my
"Is that all?…you've said it like it was going to be something extraordinary..oh dear me…".[it's quite an upgrade if you ask me…it's like having a Super A.I assistant in a fantasy world I'm basically an internet now…]. (T.A.S)Now back on earth, after I got back the next day I add another gold bar on top of the one inside the warehouse, right now the total weight of gold in there were already at 7 thousand tons which if converted into Dollar it would be around 295 billion.But the stuff that made me face palm myself right now was the outcome of T.A.S and MO-501 upgrade. T.A.S now have become an internet in Fantasma, it can made itself fused/appeared inside any electronic devices in Fantasma a super Skynet to put it into simple terms, but on earth it only can plant itself in my phone, acting like a A.I that never stop bugging me. As for MO-501, it simply got a system update and enhanc
The total combinations of my Dimensional Storage items of right now were 20 Platinum Ring (1 ton each = 20 tons), 290 Golden Ring (500 Kg each = 145 Tons), 100 Dimensional Chest (10 tons each = 10 000 tons), all this was the whole collections, I got all of them from bandits raids like I said robbing people certainly profitable especially the high profile bandits. I use some of the Dimensional chests to store a small machine and tools, as for the Materials and the heavy machinery, I just bought them along with my teleport skill, that's why The whole process took 2 days.After that, we fly back home which took only about 6 hours. The whole process was quite tiring for me, I wondered if I should tell Catherine to buy an airline company stock, I love to get pass the hassle in the airport. There's nothing much to do when I get back home, after washing all my clothes and tidying my house, I back on my PC to research and planning my next step of actions."I guess righ
Aeternum Keep, Meeting room.After Sai Mies leaves the room alone, the atmosphere in the room turned cold, silent, and eerie feeling crept up in every single of the Maidens in the room."Sareen, Selie….".(Elijah)Elijah finally opened her lips calling out 2 names, nodding at hearing their names, both of them disappeared from where they were standing and reappeared beside the main door blocking it from opening. Radian who sat beside Elijah also stood up and starts wearing her knuckle duster on her right fist."Juliet, Mot, Anna, Reven, Colleen...explain…".(Elijah)This five Maidens was the one that shows the tinge of loss in the meeting a few moments ago. Unlike their beloved master who decided to ignore their behavior, Elijah and the 4 sisters weren't thinking the same. The calm and loving elder sister's image was no longer there instead, a raging madness flares up in Elijah eyes glaring at the 5 maidens."Sister&he
5 days after the surgery, Aeternum General Hospital 2nd Floor VIP Ward."Try to move your fingers slowly…good, looks like everything is functioning normally as it should….Rafaela, make sure to monitor Elijah's conditions and developments as she comes for her regular inspections..".<CLAP! CLAP!>"Congratulations Sister Elijah!!…Congratulations Mr.President!..to gave birth to such amazing miracles, our Aeternum was blessed to have you!…". (Bar)The whole wards were full of Maidens and several other people in the hallway, waiting to hear and witness the full result of Elijah's successful limb transplant. The operations were successful, and the limbs working normally, also thanks to the healing spells the recovery process which is normally taken at least 3 months was shortened to 3 days. Everyone was celebrating, maidens were sobbing with tears of joy, civilian were singing and cheering from within the hospit
"Sir, I don't see why we have to inform the Duke or anyone for the feat we've done…". (Mina)Sitting inside my office, Mina appeared to be dissatisfied as to why I had to inform the duke and to delay the news that I have handled the bandit's situations."We don't have to…but, all this is just a politics...Noble like their pride so much,..it's wasn't news that the duke has been trying to exterminate the bandits for so long…but, we have done it almost effortlessly….if we just come strolling and say 'hey guys! it's done' that would rub them the wrong way….."."So all this just us doing them a favor of saving their face?…". (Mina)"Yes…remember, the duke has high approval among his subject….we need to use that, we need the duke territory for business…with this way, we not only say to the Duke's that we are not a force to mess with, but we also appeal to the public that we are a friendly
"I always thought flying were impossible..who would've thought it was actually this simple…". (Bar)"This is just one of the example Bar,….there's even a flight vehicles that capable to brought hundreds of people flying across a continent…."."Really?..that would be amazing to see, I can't wait to see them sir…". (Bar)After 3 days I've announce that I would be bringing a team to go dungeonering, we finally left the Aeternum capital. Using one of my Helicopter, 5 of us were flying across the large desert called the Big Nothing, Elijah said this desert were to deadly for anyone to wander in, and for thousands of years no one dares to enter it. Actually I already passed through the whole desert to reach Aeternum, it's true that it's dangerous. The last time I came across a scorpion mix with lion that as big as a 5 ton lorry, I still remember that it taste like shrimp."Sir w
<BANG!!>"Stay calm…take your time to aim and pull the trigger..just like that…BUKK!!!…".Dungeonering proceeding as swiftly as it can, we still have a few bumps here and there. But, it wasn't a big problem, instead, I take this time to further instilled my knowledge in using a firearm masterfully to my other teammates. The sword, I brought with me was rendered to be less useful in this expeditions, mainly because all the monster in this dungeon was undead, zombies, skeletons were all that roams in this dungeon, and apparently destroying the heads were extremely effective. I tried to use swords by cutting the undead to pieces, it works but takes a lot of works, even when I decapitate the neck clean it's still moving. That's when I decided to just either punch the head off or smashing them on the wall or floor, it's possible because the undead was deadly slow."I remember reading about these firearms in an old book about Dwa
“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
