Getting a Technology System in Modern Day The Generals.
The generals, now left alone after enduring a series of unimaginable events within a few hours, sat in silence. They were still processing the astonishing turn of events and the speed they took place. Half an hour had passed since Aron and his group departed, and during that time, not a word was exchanged between the generals.The only remnants that served as a constant reminder that their recent experience was not a dream were their tattered clothes and the broken items scattered around the room. "I'm going to my office to thoroughly examine the contract. It's important for us to understand their contents in order to avoid any inadvertent violations, preventing a repeat of what we just experienced.Given his ability to swiftly heal us, any potential punishment from him would likely be more severe and could potentially last for hours, without the concern of us succumbing to blood loss or serious injuries," Nathan declared as he rose from his chair."We can't hide either, considering
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Meeting With the Regional Revolutionary Leaders
A week later.Aron strolled alone, making his way into the hotel, his steps purposeful as he approached the reception area. He carried a bag in his hand, having entrusted his car in the hands of the hotel's valet for him to go and park the car."Welcome, Mr. Aron," Alexander exclaimed, rising from the comfortable chairs in the hotel lobby. He had been patiently waiting for Aron's arrival, to accompany him to the meeting room they had scheduled."Oh, Alexander," Aron replied warmly, extending his hand for a handshake."How have you been?" Alexander asked, his tone filled with genuine interest."Quite well, although your regional leaders have been the only ones causing some mischief," Aron responded in a playful manner. Over time, their frequent calls had brought them closer, fostering a light-hearted banter between them."I apologize for that," Alexander replied, a hint of embarrassment creeping into his voice. Although he knew Aron was merel
Getting a Technology System in Modern Day Discovering the Limitations
Once the meeting concluded and they found themselves alone in the room, Alexander asked, "Are you absolutely certain that no one would be willing to exchange information with Adolf in exchange for financial gain?'"Aron posed the question, "Do you genuinely believe the greedy Adolf would be willing to offer monetary compensation to anyone solely for acquiring information?"After giving it some thought, Alexander responded, "I highly doubt it. He would likely make false promises of payment, but once he obtains the information, he would promptly proceed to apprehend the individual as well.""While that may be true, there could be individuals who perceive themselves as exceptional and entertain the notion that they can successfully demand payment from Adolf in exchange for the information." "Indeed," Alexander agreed. "Rest assured, I will receive immediate notification and swiftly resolve any such attempts before they even materialize. You need not worry. In the meantime, you need to

1 month later.Black site.Kassim could be seen pacing anxiously in his room, displaying visible signs of panic as he awaited someone's arrival.KNOCK KNOCKUpon hearing a knock at the door, Kassim swiftly moved to his chair, straightened his attire, cleared his throat, and then called out, "Come in."After obtaining permission to enter, Patric, the project manager, nervously entered the room and said, "You called for me, sir?'""Yes, I summoned you because there is only one month left from the four-month extension you requested to complete the program development. Is it going well? Are you on schedule?" Kassim fired two questions in quick succession, causing Patrick to tense up with each query directed at him."Sir, you know..." Patrick began, attempting to respond, but before he could finish his sentence, Kassim interrupted him, asking, "It's not ready yet, is it?""Unfortunately, not yet, sir," Patrick answered, his head lowered in embarrassment and fear as he averted his gaze towa

Somewhere in America."George, are you certain that the man you selected will carry out the instructions and not just give up midway?" asked Aubrey.They were the sole occupants of a lavishly furnished room, accompanied by a towering screen exhibiting stock market charts before them. They were conversing to pass time as they awaited the execution of the planned attack and for the results of it to be reflected on the large screen.All necessary preparations and instructions had been meticulously programmed into their systems, leaving only the execution of their prearranged commands."You needn't worry, Father," George responded assuredly. "If he still desires the safe return of his family, he will fulfill our instructions.""Remember, son," Aubrey imparted, attempting to instill a valuable lesson. "Do not assume that something will be accomplished until it is actually done. Otherwise, you may find yourself betrayed at the most unexpected moment. It

{The Morgans, being the ones who came up with the plan, meant that they possessed the knowledge to prepare the most efficient means of maximizing profits. Despite benefiting from their actions, just like them, our main source of profit did not originate from their tactics.} Nova paused, allowing Aron time to digest the information she had shared.After taking a moment to process the information, he raised his head and asked with curiosity, "So, how did we manage to make profits in a way that outsmarted the Morgans?" His expression showed genuine interest.{When we finally had the complete plan from the black sites, I leveraged my computing power to simulate their strategy. Through conducting multiple simulations with different parameters, I was able to uncover something that had eluded them.} Nova paused, building suspense, prompting Aron to ask, "What did you discover?" He played along with her act.{blue-chip stocks} Nova responded with a single word.A

"What?" Rina exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing the staggering amount she had earned from the crash. Her surprise was evident in her tone as she sought confirmation. "Are you sure?" she asked, still struggling to grasp the magnitude of her earnings. Ava, maintaining her composure, responded calmly, {Yes, that's what Mother sent me,} she replied, displaying the impressive figure on the screen, leaving no room for doubt. As Rina's eyes remained fixed on the screen, her appreciation and gratitude towards Aron swelled within her. It was his ingenuity and efforts that had made this incredible feat possible. Overwhelmed by these thoughts, she reached for the phone he had given her during their first meeting and dialed his number, wanting to express her gratefulness. After a brief period of ringing, Aron picked up the call and greeted, "Hello." "Hello, Aron. How are you?" Rina asked, trying to maintain her composure despite the excitement bubbling within her, having been left thrilled

The Zelvora Scapegoat
“Would you like to test it?” Masimbia asked, his tone calm and measured. There was no point in further explanations, he knew their minds were already racing with doubt. Instead of arguing over the validity of the technology, he would let the results speak for themselves.Silence.None of them answered immediately. Their hesitation was obvious, their expressions guarded. Trust between them and the Empire was at its lowest, this was nothing more than a transactional relationship, devoid of any real goodwill.And with what they knew of the Zelvora’s capabilities, both in offense and defense, some from firsthand experience, how could they be sure this wasn’t a trap?What if, the moment they put on the devices, the Empire activated them?Trapping them in an illusion. Brainwashing them. Shattering their minds. Or, worst of all, extracting their memories, laying bare their governments’ secrets, their personal vulnerabilities, handing the Empire an undeniable edge.The risk was too great.
Dreznor II
For hours, Dreznor spoke, recounting every memory that surfaced. His voice wavered at times, thick with emotion, but he pressed on. He told Little Protagonist about his past, the life he once had, and the chains that had bound him ever since he was fifteen.His civilization had lost a brutal war against a neighboring power, and the terms of surrender had been merciless. Anyone who had played a role in the war—whether as a soldier, a medic, a logistics officer, or even a mere clerk in the government—was stripped of their freedom. Families of these individuals were not spared either. Some were forced into indentured servitude, while others, like Dreznor and his mother, were outright sold as slaves. His father, being a valiant General who had fought to the very end and perished on the battlefield, sealed their fate. Yet fortune intervened, as Dreznor and his mother found themselves purchased together by a single owner.For thirty years, Dreznor had known nothing but servitude. He had gro
Dreznor
He didn’t have much time to think. The sudden appearance of the hologram had momentarily halted his descent into unconsciousness, but it was only a brief reprieve. The weight of his injuries and exhaustion soon resumed their pull, forcing him to act quickly.His gaze lingered on the lifeless forms of his family, their bloodied bodies forever frozen in time. He had nothing left. No reason to hesitate. If revenge was possible, then he would seize it. And if this was nothing more than a hallucination, then so be it, at least he would soon be reunited with them.Summoning the last embers of strength in his battered body, he lifted his trembling, bloodstained hand and pressed [YES]. The moment his finger made contact, the darkness claimed him entirely.Yet, he was still aware.‘I’m pretty sure I lost consciousness… so why am I still here?’ The thought echoed through his mind as he found himself suspended in a void, weightless and without pain, yet utterly disconnected from any sensation. I
An Offer
"Although the suggestion is good, unfortunately, I cannot make a decision on this matter. I will need to report back to my government so they can decide before I can provide a conclusive response," said the Elara representative the moment Masimbi concluded the introduction and explanation of the first agenda."The same goes for me," added the Valthorin representative.As if a dam had broken, nearly every other representative echoed similar statements, citing the need to consult their respective governments before making any commitments. Only a few, including the Xor’Vak representative, remained silent.Masimbi, unfazed by the predictable response, simply nodded. "Then we will postpone this agenda until you receive decisions from your leadership." He didn’t even wait for the silent ones to speak, already anticipating that they, too, would say the same.With everyone either nodding in agreement or remaining passive, Masimbi wasted no time and moved on to the next topic on the agenda: bu
A Dilemma
Over the next two days, the Astral Conclave representative and their entourage found little excitement, spending most of their time within the space station. Workers meticulously organized their inventory, transferring cargo from their ships to storage, while those with free time explored the station, some out of curiosity, others to analyze the empire’s design philosophy and compare it to their own.Concerns about being spied on had been dismissed early. Upon arrival, their security personnel conducted thorough scans for surveillance devices, only to discover that the empire had taken extreme measures to ensure privacy. The station's walls had a unique structure, two parallel layers filled with mana in its gaseous form, separated by a mana-free void. This design effectively blocked both conventional surveillance methods and mana-based detection techniques. The sheer level of effort and resources invested into guaranteeing privacy was almost unsettling, signaling just how far the empi
Trade Hub
"Now that's strange," the Yrall Coalition representative thought as he reviewed the basic information about the Trade Hub, which had been included alongside the docking details shared moments ago.He was certain that the empire hadn’t possessed this space station during their last mana stones exchange. That left only two possibilities: either construction had already begun at that time, but the station had been too small to be detected from their previous vantage point, or, far more astonishing, it hadn’t existed at all, and the empire had managed to construct this massive facility in less than a year.Although the Yrall Coalition had the capability to achieve such rapid construction, it was far from cost-effective. Completing a project of this scale within the same timeframe would require nearly five times the usual resources compared to a standard construction timeline. Their ability to pull it off stemmed from their vast and highly efficient industrial production systems. However,
The Second Coming
Time waited for no one, moving forward unbound by the events of the universe. Finally, the day of the second mana stone exchange arrived.A welcoming fleet stood ready in an empty patch of space, patiently awaiting the arrival of the representatives. This was both a customary gesture and a security measure, though this time, the fleet was more than four times larger than at the last exchange. The reason was simple—the exact number of arriving ships remained unknown, but the empire was certain it would be at least triple the previous turnout. The increased mana stone quotas required a greater volume of materials for exchange, and, in addition, the Conclave representatives were expected to bring their own products to sell to the empire.As the agreed time for arrival approached, the crew aboard the welcoming fleet remained on high alert. There was always the possibility that the Conclave forces would emerge from the wormholes with weapons blazing, and until both sides knew each other we
A Quest
"Anything you're seeing that I’m not?" Aron asked, turning to Henry, who was closely examining a piece of the FOL material inside a transparent box.Henry, having already discovered some of his ocular abilities, focused on the material, his enhanced vision revealing details beyond normal perception. Even with his abilities, the most distinct feature he observed was the presence of ultra-thin mana threads weaving through the FOL material, holding it together."I don’t know what you’re seeing, but from my perspective, I can say with certainty that the reason the FOL material shifts between liquid and solid states is due to the mana threads binding it," Henry said, his voice filled with intrigue.As he spoke, a holographic projection appeared, sharing his vision with Aron. Through Henry’s eyes, the mana threads pulsed subtly, shifting from a neutral yellow to a vivid green—the color representing the esoteric mana of life—whenever they detected an unshielded person nearby. The moment this
Heading to the Lab
With the next two weeks included, this month had been one of the most chaotic for them. They underwent numerous procedures, followed by deeply emotional reunions with their families and friends. These reunions were further highlighted by the emperor’s welcoming speech, delivered in their presence alongside their loved ones, just hours before their return home. The program was carefully scheduled to conclude mere minutes before their ships docked at the space elevator, allowing for long-awaited physical reunions to finally take place.Yet, while they reunited with their families and embarked on their well-earned vacations, the agency responsible for their return showed no signs of slowing down. The last of the exploration fleets were still expected to arrive in the coming months, keeping operations in full swing.At the same time, the Joint Task Force was conducting its final checks in preparation for the upcoming mana stone trade, as well as the commencement of permanent stays for Ast
