Although the invasion had initially sparked widespread panic and desperate escape attempts, the immobilized ships floating helplessly in orbit served as a grim warning: there was no way out. The message spread quickly, and no one else dared try to flee.

Life under a near-feudal leadership had taught the populace to adapt quickly to shifts in power. So, when it became clear the invaders weren’t targeting civilians, the general panic began to fade. Still, the people remained wary, choosing to stay hidden. The invading forces had made their intentions clear by targeting only military and leadership structures, but that didn’t guarantee that the civilians wouldn’t be next once the bigger threats were dealt with.

It had now been seven days since the fighting started, and the sounds of battle had nearly vanished. The once-frenzied skies were now calm. Yet, no declaration of victory had been made, no broadcasts, no announcements, not even rumors. The silence weighed heavily on everyone. No o

  • Addressing the People II

    One of the humanoid dolls stepped forward, its feet softly pressing against the ground as it advanced toward Ukubun, the former planetary leader and Conclave-appointed representative. With each additional step, its body began to shift. Its limbs shortened, its skin darkened, and its features morphed into something all too familiar.Within moments, it stood not as a doll, but as a perfect replica of a man Ukubun and nearly every viewer across the planet instantly recognized.“Your very first victim after rising to power,” Dreznor’s voice rang out, steady and cold. “Your own brother. Burned alive. Publicly executed to set an example... for a crime you framed him for. A crime he didn’t commit despite having committed other, real crimes you could have used.”As Dreznor spoke, vivid, undeniable scenes appeared above the field, projected like living memories:Ukubun ordering the evidence to be planted, dismissing his aides’ warnings, his final private conversation with his brother confessin

  • INVASION

    Not even a second after Dreznor uttered the word surrender, a bullet shot toward his head, fired by a guard who had descended from a hidden panel in the ceiling, exploding it.At least, that was the outcome the leader expected.Instead, what he saw defied belief: Dreznor was still standing, completely unharmed, as if nothing had happened.“Haaah,” Dreznor sighed. At least I tried, he thought, clutching a fold of his clothes tearing it as the torn piece started reforming into something else. He aimed and fired at the guard who was still midair, plummeting helplessly toward the floor. The shot struck him before he landed, ensuring he wouldn’t feel the pain of the fall. What a thoughtful man, Dreznor mused inwardly.“Thanks for the answer,” he said coldly, and fired at the leader.BAM!The leader’s head slammed against the table, scattering a few items across the surface.“Let’s take a look at your crimes before passing judgment,” Dreznor said, walking calmly toward the unconscious lead

  • Offer

    Nova, who had been silently observing Aron as he went through documents related to the empire for approval, couldn’t help but notice the persistent smile on his face. It had been there for quite some time and showed no signs of fading.“What is it?” Aron asked when he looked up and saw her standing there, just staring at him.{I was trying to deduce what made you smile,} she responded, her gaze unbroken, clearly indicating that another instance of her was continuing the deduction in parallel.“So, did you find it?” he asked as he signed the final document, finishing his empire-related workload for the day.{I’m down to the final few possibilities, but I’m leaning toward either the joint project with the Conclave going well or a developmental update from one of our little protagonists, Dreznor, specifically,} Nova replied, her tone confident as she added, {So, which one is it?}“You’re half right about the joint project,” Aron said, sliding the final folder aside. “But the reason isn’t

  • Graduation

    “At ease, gentlemen,” Dreznor said, his gaze sweeping over the group of former pirates, now standing in disciplined attention like seasoned soldiers with years of experience.In just one month of intense training, they had transformed. The first real-world week had been entirely theoretical, an immersive and assimilative crash course to fill the gaping holes in their knowledge. As former pirates, most of them had only received the bare minimum education necessary to survive in society. This time, they learned more than just literacy or basic navigation. They learned systems, ethics, tactics, the value of structure, and more.Only after their minds were tempered did the physical training begin. It escalated quickly, growing in intensity until they were finally thrust into the Trial by Fire: a series of immersive mock scenarios crafted using real-time geographic and cultural data harvested through the VR systems. These simulations reflected the environments, military doctrines, and soci

  • Topic-Specific Imperial Council Meeting

    “Within the last month, we have managed to reach 172 billion Conclave users, with over fifty billion being concurrent,” Sarah reported, addressing the Emperor, the heads of the three ministries, and the directors of the imperial agencies during a topic-specific Imperial Council meeting. This session had been called to review the progress made in the first month of the expansion campaign.The room remained quiet, but their expressions betrayed the storm of thoughts behind their composed façades. Although they had expected the Conclave to hold staggering numbers, no one had anticipated a figure of this magnitude, and worse, it wasn’t even ten percent of the entire Conclave population. They had only deployed VR towers and wormholes across roughly eight percent of the total territory during the first phase. And that figure didn’t even account for the people in already-covered zones who still hadn’t received their VR devices, either because the allotted free units had already been claimed
