I throw my coats aside since it was still have many fine shards of glass all over it. Hwa Young were still shivering in my arm, she never released her grip on the hem of my sleeves. Clearly shaken by everything that had happened but her real emotions does not appears on her face. Often times, rather admired her strong heart, especially at times like this. Not everyone can hold on like her, Due to my reminder there were numbers of people currently hides themselves away from the nearby windows.“What happened?..where are these shots coming from?..”.Choi Jin Su were quick to support me and Hwa Young, she took off her coat and draped them over Hwa Young Shoulders. Meanwhile, Park Zuo Yung just comes up from downstairs.“IT WAS COMING FROM THE BUIDLING NEARBY SIR!..there were people fighting in there…we don’t know the real situations..but from what we can see…it seem like 2 criminal organizations were fighting each others!!..”. (Park Zuo Yung)The first part of her sentence, rang loudly a
The seconds everyone heard, What Producer San Da Hee voices and orders, the reactions were divided into 2, the majority numbers of the crews, which mostly the veteran ones were all visibly excited by the order, but for the other small numbers, who is mostly the junior crews, all of them were just straight up bewildered of what the Main Producer actually ordered. Instead of canceling the show and went somewhere else for safety, she wanted to continue the filming and from the scales that she described this time, she wanted everyone to make sure to give their fullest for these effort.“What?!..San Da Hee PD!…what are you talking about?..are you crazy?..this is dangerous!!..”. (Hwang Hwa Young)As a person that were still shaken up by everything. As San Da Hee and the filming crew already pointed their camera on the other building and also some already positioned their camera even further closer to the windows and the glass door to film everything clearly. Hwa Young has instead become the
Just as the first camera director that actually set his camera near the balcony told everyone that the fights had already broke out and is right now in a full swing that even spread from the inside of the opposite building out to the street, everyone felt that this is clearly slowly getting out of hand. The fights was violence and graphic than everyone can imagine, the gangster fought with weapons in their hands, bloods and unconscious bodies started to littered all over the roadside, on the pedestrian walkway, leaning on the building wall. Still there is no stopping this, rather the fights even getting more intense.“This is insane!!..is this even the city that we know?…these people..is just…insane!..”. (Writer Cho)The writers were one of the crews that have the guts to actually peeked their heads out at the broken windows to see what is going on. Covering her mouth with her hand and gasp, she saw the violence and unable to face the reality of the violence that ins going on at the m
As Writer Cho mentioned that I actually got an injury on myself, everyone in the second floor, turns their attentions at me. As the all saw that I am actually bleeding from 2 large cuts, and it was really graphic to them, this is all happened to fast for anyone to actually get a grasp at how it happened. The cuts on my neck on the right side of it, is all thanks to the stray bullet I evaded, it just able to graze me a little bit, but it actually left a 3 inches straight cut and it was constantly bleeding, it wasn’t deep actually probably about just 2 or 3 cm deep. But the bleeding were real, it doesn’t injure any artery, it’s just a surface cut.“Mister Mies!..t..there’s a glass shard…in your hand!!..we need to take you to the hospital!!…quick!..”. (Writer Cho)The second injury to me, is actually my right hand, which I use to cover Writer Cho head, since she was close to the broken window and actually sit to take cover and leaned on the wall, when the stray bullet, hits, I noticed th
Rather than seeing the real life reenactment of a drama series that Hwa Young had famously stared in happened in real life, what everyone sees is a scene where I calmly teach her how to do a first aid using my own bloody hand. The scene were rather bloodied rather than romantic, blood dripping from my hand and when everything snaps back to reality, as my injury were rather big compared to what she actually thought. Hwa Young mostly just stunned and panic at this time.“If we just pulled the sharp object from a puncture wound…that would resulted in a excessive bleeding..like now….but if we left this wound…just like this…I can’t use my hand…”.While instructed Hwa Young while at the same time teaching her lightly, everyone were rather scared right now, afraid that I would make things even worse than it already was, even Hwa Young were panicking as she followed my lead and pulled out the shard glass as I instructed. As she did pulled out the shard, at that moment even more blood flows ou

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
