"RUN!!.I SAID RUN!!..YOU IMBECILE!!..".

Thanks to that, I am now comfortable enough to move forward to my new goals, which is Spreading fame and opening business in new area. But before that, I need a trained professional workforce a skillful business employee and professional soldier.
"CLIMB THAT WALL CADET!!!..CLIMB IT!!!..".
"Hic..SIR! YES SIR!!..".(C2 cadet)
This scene was quite normal in the training, a 20 years old C2 cadet struggling to climb the 4 meter walls that was part of my training course. Due to lack of Maidens, I can only take 14 person to become the backbone of my newly form armed forces (Minus Elijah and 5 Original team leader, as they were in positions t
[I agreed that some kind of entertainment was crucial to the general public….but do you really have to sing and said that the song was yours?…]. (T.A.S)"Well I do though…on earth yes, It was someone else song, but in Fantasma it's mine since I'm the one who perform it first…entertainment was a multi billion industry you know…".The graduation ceremony is already end. So as the finale I sang a few ballad song while playing a piano, of course it was a hit, after that moment I realized that I'm not only a genius but also a remarkable singer. Since then I've been recording a few cover videos for my Gram account, getting rich was one thing, but recently when I saw that my Gram account reach 100k follower, it's kinda addicting.<Knock! Knock!>"Mr. President, Captain Bertha already arrived...". (Elijah)Elijah has her own office right beside mine, e
After a week of collecting information's of the bandits, I recall the Intelligence team back to I.S.O.A. and after reviewing the intel, I surprise that they actually did a very good job, I guess letting them watch the Bourne movies and the spy documentary was right after all.Right now all the Department of Defense were pack into the Main Hall at my Keep ground floor. I was also here listening to I.S.O.A very first military briefing, Bina was on the front carefully stating the information's regarding our operations."Our Target was number 15 on the list, Widely known as Wide storm band..made up of approximately of 30 crew..Their Leader was this man Mongadee Lopus, 43 years old, a deserter from Alemia Kingdom 2nd Knight platoon, extremely cruel and savage..Their M.O was raiding nearby village and capture the citizen there to be sold in slavery..they usually operates near the border of Alemia Kingdom an Our I.S.O.A…...Intelligence team
The day was slowly getting dark as the sun setting on the horizon. Deep hidden in the Rock Valley near the river bank, was Wide Storm bandit hideout. The Hideout was an abandoned dragon cave, after their leader Mongadee Lopus establish the band they have made this mid size cave their home for 7 years. Over the time they gain prospers, from just empty cave they amass fortune and altered the surrounding to their at advantage, making them more hidden and strong from any attacks.The cave entrance was fitted with steel bar and thick wooden gate, makeshift walls from wood surround the cave perimeter, guards tower with lookouts, from afar this place look impenetrable. As darkness finally covers the sky, the bandits start going around lighting the torch, Richie was one of the bandits that lighting up the torch on top of the wall, he start from the left end and slowly making his way to the middle where the gate was, a posted guards currently yawning while chugging a bot
As simple as we go in, that's how easy we got out. The whole assault and subjugations only took 1 hour to finish, with only 20 soldier's we managed to take down the bandit band with a size of 150 men. General Bina was able to rescue 80 female slaves amongst the 80, 60 was badly wounded ( critical but not life-threatening), 20 of them were severely malnourished. Major Colleen squads have striped the whole base bare, amassing a fortune of 100 000 gold coins, 300 000 silver, and 50 000 bronze coins, 1500 magical instrument (Armour, weapons, and accessories). 2 tons worth of gold and silver products (Trinkets, utensils, etc.), 10 platinum worth of various valuables and stocks (Foods materials, alcohol products, Skill tomes, Books, monsters material and monster cores).We also managed to detained and disabled 15 of the high bounty bandits member alive, this includes Wide storm bandits leader Mongadee Lopus who's bounty stood at 10 platinum coins. Since we don't have secure mag
General Hospital, Independent State of Aeternum.After the 1st operation of Justice launch, The department of defense returns triumphantly with success. But another thing that came along with the victory was 2 blue goblins that Mr.President brought along, who he claimed was not a monster but a sentient race, the discovery shocked I.S.O.A since then both of the goblins have been treated inside General Hospital Intensive Treatment Centre Unit, guarded 24-7 by guards."Ughhhhhh…..Ah!…BROTHER!!". (Bob)2 days after they have been rescued(?) Bob who's gravely injured finally regained his consciousness, as for Bar who isn't in bad conditions as Bob, already awake after a few hours being treated inside the hospital."BOB!!…. Calm down brother, calm down…we're safe..please lay back down…..Doctor!..Nurse!!…". (Bar)Seeing his brother suddenly prompt up, Bar grabs his brother's shoulder and tried to set him b
"GODDAMN!!…You attack a bandits base?!!..Damn dude, that's awesome!…well, given at that era such things was kinda normal…Still, in my opinion I think not all the monster looking race were actually monster, just like the goblins you saved….in D&D and WOW they were quite a civilized race...and the civilizations they had comparable to even human kind….". (Ken)"That's exactly what I thought so, unlike the other goblins the 2 were much more civilized…I wonder actually happened to them…"."anyway, you should take in anyone who had similar conditions as them from now on…you know, preserving rare species kinda thing...". (Ken)Once again I left for earth, and as usual I met with my trusty confider Ken, his confidence and knowledge in fantasy things were always helpful for me. I came back this time not only for that but to buy supplies and to look about Ken progress on
"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 rar
As 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
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”B
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternum’s growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexist—that magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
Madeline, another single mother, found herself equally overwhelmed—but for an entirely different reason. Back in the Empire, food was a luxury.If you were lucky, you had stale bread, old vegetables, or a tiny scrap of meat to share with your family. Shopping for food was never a choice—you simply took whatever was available and prayed that it would last.But in Aeternum’s markets, things were completely different.One afternoon, she stood frozen in the middle of a supermarket aisle, staring at the endless rows of fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and even exotic spices from other parts of the world.She could hardly comprehend what she was looking at.It wasn’t just that there was food available—it was the sheer abundance of it. She felt anxious. Lost. Uncertain.She turned to the store worker nearby, a cheerful young woman dressed in the green uniform of Haven Mart, the government-affiliated grocery chain."How… how do I know what to pick?" Madeline asked hesitantly.The
Beyond just housing, Project Haven was an ecosystem of opportunity.Officer Calloway continued explaining the many opportunities available to the refugees:Public schools were being built for their children, where education was free for all—boys and girls alike. Aeternum-funded hospitals offered medical care without cost, something unheard of in the Empire. Job training programs had already started, helping former farmers, craftsmen, and even soldiers find new roles in society.And, most importantly—There were no nobles.No ruling elite to oppress them.No forced conscription, no tax collectors stripping them of their hard-earned food, no death sentences for speaking against a ruler.For the first time in history, these people were citizens, not subjects.As the tour ended, Calloway clapped his hands together and smiled."Any questions?" he asked.The refugees remained silent, overwhelmed.Mara stepped forward, her heart pounding."How can we repay this kindness?" she asked.Calloway
