Episode 23

After 8 weeks of non-stop works, Finally, we completed the whole construction project. The ugly and half-destroyed wall was now standing firm and solid With 3.5 Meter high and 4 meters thick off solid concrete and rebar, it was also altered and widen so that it covers the area of the 200-meter radius with the Keep as the center, The gate was made from a 1 meter thick of solid wood and steel fittings then completed with modern electronic locks and automated closing and opening mechanism made it very secured and easy to operates, this probably the first of its kind in this world. On top of the wall, there's a 3-meter wide walkway made it easier to perform patrol, every 10 meters a bright LED light was installed to illuminate the walls and its surrounding, Every 100 meters, patrol stations were placed with a platform installed especially for a high caliber gun and a spotlight, suffice to say with these modifications we can spot anyone as far as 300 meters, that alone made it quite hard to get past the wall. Not only the wall receive the complete makeover, The Keep also receive it, after the repairing was done I decided to install the complete plumbing and wiring systems, the interior now was painted with white paint after the whole walls were plastered with cement, as for the floor I decided to installed marble tiles to give it a complete modernized and high-end look.

Each floor now possessed its own complete purpose, Basement has changed to a power room, 1st floor becomes a service room with Hospital, Cafeteria, Briefing room, Storage room, and General administration room. 2nd floor becomes the Dorm for Maidens (Temporary), 3rd floor becomes the VIP area, which holds my room, the first 5 rooms, it's also fitted with a conference room and archive room.

The Courtyard also received a complete makeover now it was flattened and cemented, fully changed and decorated to a multi-purposed zone, 10 meters to the left side of the Keep was the warehouse and Garage, each building was 10 meters big and 6 meters high, it was made with a modern designed (Metals beam, Half concrete and Half zinc with a sliding metal door).

On the right side of the Keep, 50 meters away (Still inside the Walls) was a Common area, Instead of a normal house like any normal medieval houses. We build 3 modern apartment complexes, which is 1 apartment complex has 18 houses (2 LDK /Which every 5 slaves share 1 house), and 3 Floor high (Intentionally made this high, so the keep will still be the highest building). There's even a commercial building build inside the common area, 2 buildings with 2 floors high, 1st is for a market@store and a Public hospital(More like a clinic), 2nd act like an inn and a restaurant should there's any visitor coming.

In the midst of this construction project, I also enacted a complete overhaul of my governmental policy. 1st Thing I do was establishing a complete and solid organizational structure implementing a military-style chain of command, I'm no longer called Master instead, a President, The first 5 were no longer called sister instead, a General aside from Elijah who becomes the Chief of staff. 2nd was archiving and arranging socials order, As of now, I've decided to rename my country again to Independent State of Aeternum (I.S.O.A) so that like its name it will last for eternity, In I.S.O.Each resident was registered into the government archive, using Full extent of my Appraisal skill and T.A.S AI capability I have all the resident to perform full medical and background check-up, each record was stored inside the database (Of course the Slaves and Maidens don't know, all the knew was it was just like a normal census).

Every resident was given an Identification Certificate (Just like any normal ID on earth) the only difference was on the card there's a small detailed that differentiate the status, M is a full citizen with high priority (Given only to Maidens and Loyal Citizen with High Achievement's), C1 for Common citizen, C2 for Citizen with special Circumstances ( Slaves/ Property of the states), T1 is for a Temporary Visitor with High importance (Only a slip of paper given upon entrance), T2 for a normal visitor (Traveller/ Merchant, etc ). Depending on this small letter at the left end of the ID the treatment was different, (This also serves my attempt to water down the impression of slavery in this world). 3rd policies were the Resource management and Vision, to simplified and removed the over-dependency of my citizen to me, I decided to implement a currency for I.S.O.Amasses to use, it was Credit Point (CP), For a holder of M, C1 and C2 ID they will be given a CP for their works as a salary, they even can change any coins they had(Especially silver and golds) for CP, With CP they can buy their necessities and foods as they want. For T class holders should they want to buy or use some service in I.S.O.A, They also need to change the currency to CP.

As for the Public vision of my, Nations was Sustainability, Safety, and Sanctum has known as the 3 S, I want all to know that, I.S.O.A was a nation of opportunity and safe for everyone with no racism or divides towards races or gender, that no matter what race you are, you will be treated as equal. As for my own Vision, it was, of course, building an unstoppable money machine by trading and mercenary works, All I want (For Now) in A heck load of gold that I can swim in. Right now, after almost half a year arriving in this world finally, I can breathe comfortably, stability finally dawns on I.S.O.A, everything can moves normally even without me in the office, my nations can survive on their own (I guess?).

Common Area, C2 civilian.

"Morning Aunt Melody…". (Mica, Mico, Mici )

3 Dwarven triplets young girl, comes out from Apartment 1-1 dressed in a black overall and their blonde-haired tied up in a bun, chirpy comes out and greeted a middle-aged woman who also came out from another apartment.

"Morning girls…Heading to works it seems…did you 3 got changed to Machinery Department?…". (Aunt Melody)

Unlike the 3 girls before them, Melody was wearing a different colored overall which is Blue for Store Department.

"Yes!, yesterday our application was approved, By Major Juliet….We're sOOOOOO excited!!…anyway we need to get moving now…Bye Aunt Melody..".(Mica)

It's been 6 months since me and my sisters were sold from the Hive in Merrina town to this place, as a slave, we sisters, and the other slaves were never looking forward to being sold. Lives as a slave are the same as a living corpse, at any time we could die and most of the time it can be caused by the simplest outrageous reasons, even livestock was much more precious than ours. At first, when we arrived here, it was very scary. 200 people were sent to a run-down castle in the middle of the forest, all sorts of imaginations of death situations run inside each slave's minds here. But strangely for 2 weeks weren't touch or hurt or even put to work.

Only after week 3, we were being led to work, but the work was so light it mad us wary, fetching water, plucking weeds, cleaning the floor, removing debris, collecting firewood and timber, and the weirdest thing was we always stop working at sundown and being told to return to our camp outside the walls. 1 month passed, we always do the same thing, instead of faltering every slave began to look happy. We do our job seriously, then we finally know who we serve. It a group of women, They called themselves Maidens, they were very beautiful, Strong and kind, the Maidens were lead by 5 Sisters called the 1st Five and all of them serve the one and only true King of Old(?) which is a mysteries as no one ever seen him. There was a time where we were collecting firewood than a pack of 15 wolves attacked us, yet with only 3 members of Maidens, they managed to kill the whole pack with only sword in their hands, what even shocking they put their own lives in front of the slaves, which is very shocking and weird at the same time.

Since then, all of us slaves never doubted the kindness and finally, we all have hope that, probably the masters we serve this time is different than others, at the very least we finally be treated at least like a living being. Now 6 months later, all of us slaves were no longer slaves, but a proud citizen of the Independent State of Aeternum who working for The true king of old towards Sustainability, Safety, and Sanctum for our self.
