Year 2851 | Month 8 | Day 26
The meeting ends up going pretty well as we all decide on several different laws for the entirety of the abandoned continents to follow. All of which are pretty simple.
First, slavery is outlawed everywhere in the continents.
Second, murder is illegal. Regardless of it it’s a magician doing it or a non-magician. Since there were at least a few nations that had murder being legal if it was a magician doing the killing.
Third is for a council to be set up with one representative of each ‘state’, which are the former nations that now make up the continent under my and the skeleton’s rule. Alongside Natra, of course.
But Natra agrees to these laws as well so it’s fine.
The council will pretty much be those states’ voices. Except with my final vote and decision on everything alongside Juan’s.
Oh, and the skeleton just straight up ditches all the ruling onto me, abdicating the throne to make me the king publicly mid-meeting.
The fourth law is making thievery outlawed as well for both magicians and non-magicians. Because, again, there were nations that allowed magicians to straight up take what they wanted from non-magicians without any consequences.
As for the fifth law? That one was a bit harder to get every nation to agree to during the meeting. And by that, I mean we had to use some force to make them. With threats.
Even after that though, I doubt they’ll all follow the law willingly. Not everyone, at least.
With the law itself being a law against discrimination towards non-magicians. Which was a massive problem in my opinion just from seeing how my mother was treated my entire life before entering the academy.
Most nations weren’t incredibly obvious about it, and only a fraction of the magicians did it in those nations like the Republic, but there were plenty of people who discriminated against non-magicians.
Especially in war.
Which is another thing.
Mandatory conscription of soldiers is no longer allowed either.
Not that there should be anywhere near as much war anymore now that the entire continent is under one rule.
But mandatory conscription of soldiers, both magicians and non-magicians, was a thing in all nations. With the non-magician soldiers even being used as cannon-fodder. Sacrifices to help protect the magicians when needed.
We pass several other laws as well, all of which are meant to finally catch the abandoned continents up to the rest of the world. Both in morality, ethics, and even economy. With plenty of laws and agreements made with Crimson over this time to help develop the continents.
And last but not least, the very name of the continents.
At Crimson’s suggestion, a vote is taken to change the name of the continents. Since the old names for the continents, the Continent of Giese and the Continent of Ariel, have pretty much just been linked with the moniker ‘the abandoned continents’ for ages now. Making a new name necessary for a new place.
As for the name itself? Everyone agrees on a name based around my Magic Tower’s name.
The Eternal Continents.
And I have to admit, it is a rather simple name. Plus it’s easier to remember and nicer to say than ‘the abandoned continents’.
Of course, after the meeting, I already hear people outside spreading the word. With some of them joking about the Eternal Continents also being known already as the Undying Continents.
Obviously named after me.
It doesn’t bother me though. And just like that, months begin to pass in relative peace as I focus hard on training my mana arcs. Pushing them all the way up to over a thousand arcs at last.
Enough for me to begin work on designing my very first Tier X spell.
Juan helps me in this as using a Tier X death magic spell would be far more dangerous than a Tier X fire magic spell.
Not that either of them are particularly safe to use.
I still spend more time working on training my mana arcs than on the Tier X spell though. Simply because I need as much mana as I can possibly get to fight against the doctor when he arrives.
And after the fourth month since returning to the Eternal Continent, The Eternal Tower is finally finished. Standing tall at nearly four hundred meters in height, with numerous defenses to protect it from all kinds of attacks, and even a core to power the tower with mana.
It’s absolutely beautiful.
And it doesn’t take me long before I move into the tower. With all of my family and friends moving in after me. Pretty much abandoning the Undying Caverns. At least, as far as higher ups of the Eternal Tower – the name for our new organization – that is.
We still have people stationed in the Undying Caverns as well. It’s just turned more into a lower ranking location for the Tower’s members now. Not to mention for more residential areas. Since a lot of people lived down there.
And still live down there.
After the tower’s completion, I begin to greet guests at the Eternal Tower. Guests arriving from all over the world. Both from other continents and from the rest of the Eternal Continent.
A lot of them come to congratulate me on my Magic Tower, while others come to develop diplomatic or economic ties to the Eternal Continent.
But all of them come here for me and my tower.
Which feels rather nice to see.
That said, I still leave most of the diplomatic and economic work to others to handle. Since that’s not really my forte.
My forte is battle.
And after four months and two weeks after returning to the Eternal Continent, my time for battle finally arrives.
As the device on my wrist finally begins to let out blood mana in an arrow pointing in a single direction, with a GPS appearing on its screen.
Signaling the return of the doctor.
