1021 - Surprising Discovery

The Zelvora mental network was currently chaotic as they watched one imperial attack after another without the ability to do anything about it, as all of the attacks pointed to the empire having planned and preemptively dispatched them years ago, and were only now being brought online.

With each attack that the empire brought online, causing devastation on the scale of a solar system at most or a planet at the least, they combed their systems f...

1018 to 1020 (more coming tomorrow)

1018 - Moving Ahead

The moment the top ten started receiving updates of what was happening in one of the Yrall Coalition's star systems and saw it with their own eyes, they were shocked. After they recollected themselves from the surprise of both the empire's capability and the horror of the realization that the empire had such a means of attack in place for who knows how long, they issued orders for all robots to be collected and dismantled in all of their star systems to ensure such ...

1013 to 1017

1013 - Eyes Open

Bip. Bip. Bip. Bip.

The man on the bed could hear the rhythmic beeping that engulfed the room as he tried to fight his mind, which was trying to force him to wake up. He wanted to sleep more, as it was something he had missed quite a lot and didn’t want to cut short.

But that was only momentary. The moment the line of thought finished forming, and just as he was about to try and make it a reality, a blue screen spread in front of him des...

1010 to 1012

1010 - Eye of the Storm

“Everything is clear. You are free to enter the sector. As a reminder, the curfew will soon be implemented. To prevent any complications during these sensitive times, those landing in any ports without special permission will be required to remain on the planet until the situation with the Empire is dealt with or our preparations are completed. Will you still resume your journey to the sector?”

1009 - Logistics Wins Wars

John J. Pershing once said, “Infantry wins battles, logistics wins wars,” and the Terra Empire had taken that to heart in everything they did. No matter how minuscule it was in the grand scale of things, they used VR’s time compression ability to take a long and detailed look and come up with a logistical plan for every event, as all possible variables were taken into account.

However, humans have a tendency to reduce their vigilance and focus during these meetings, and at some po...

Announcement

A few days ago, there was an election in my country which many argued was fraudulent. As a result, people took to the streets to protest, and things eventually turned violent on both sides. In response, the government shut down the internet for the past five to six days, until the president was once again sworn into office after her win.

Access was briefly restored a few days ago, but only for half an hour. Before I could update you guys—like I did on Discord—they shut it down again...

1006 to 1008

1006 - A Week Into the Month-Long Campaign

Total domination. That is what the empire's forces could be described as, the moment the main forces started attacking and targeting the lower-level civilizations.

In a single week, the imperial forces had successfully taken over all of the civilizations below the top fifty. They had faced heavy resistance at the start, but after each civilization had one of their military bases, parliaments, or one of their military s...

1005 - Humanity's Horror Inventions

FWOOOOM!!!!!

A mini-fleet made of fifteen ships appeared in the capital of the hundredth-ranked civilization without even trying to hide their arrival, as they came through the connection from the VR tower. Although many, if not all, of those in the top ten and some of the top twenty civilizations had destroyed them, those in the lower-level civilizations didn’t have enough firepower to overwhelm the shields in a single period of time. This resulted in them just sendi...

1004 - Operation BOOMERANG

“Okay, guys, let’s do our final system checkups. We are five minutes from rollout,” the ship commander of one of the ships in a mini-fleet said, sending final inspection orders to every part of the ship.

The empire, having finished assessing the threat level of their planned target, had adjusted their fleet structure so that they had just enough ships to take over a star system as fast as possible before they sent absolute coordinates on the planet for the wormholes to be opened, ...

1003 - Don't die before Fu*king it

The video played in sequence, starting from the wormhole opening, the Shadari delivering the bomb, and its explosion, the same way it was posted through the Conclave channel. But then it was rewound in a fast-forward way before the camera moved from the Shadari team's perspective towards the planet. As it got closer, it went through a bubble that was made obviously visible through edits, revealing the real situation on the planet. The camera then turned to look in the direction of the Shadari...

1002 - !Despair

Moral superiority is something many countries fighting a war want to have on their side, as it makes their situation slightly easier.

When a nation has moral superiority, it allows them to show how righteous they are to their citizens, who, knowing the sacrifices they were making, will want to support their nation or civilization, reducing the need for propaganda that is usually required to receive the same amount of support.

Although most of the support is not monetary, it is psy...

1001 - Misdirection of the Century

Minutes from the detonation of the bomb, the entire planet was already covered in radioactive materials. Spending even less than ten minutes was enough to guarantee death, which essentially sentenced every living thing on the planet to death and would sustain that life-denying level of toxicity for at least a century before people could return and be able to spend a few hours without dying.

This could be accelerated if a civilization invested a huge amount of resources, but most of the ...

1000 - Let There Be Light!!!!!

FWOOOOM!!!!! The space surrounding the Nymari capital star system trembled as a wormhole opened a few hundred thousand kilometers from the capital planet, which looked very peaceful from the current distance.

There were no ships that swished in space; only the satellites in the planet’s orbit remained, as if it were just a planet on the verge of reaching the first Kardashev scale and entering the space exploration age.

“I’m sure I don’t have to repeat this...

999 - The Crown Prince

“What is wrong with him exactly?” Henry, Aron’s younger brother and the crown prince, turned to Nova, asking her as he stood in front of Aron’s mana-filled medical pod.

Due to the set line of succession that had been maintained for decades since the founding of the empire, he was still the first in line despite not wanting the position at all. He considered it a formality required by the imperial constitution to remove the possibility of instability should something happen to th...

998 - The ALMOST Perfect Prison

“AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!” Rina shouted amidst rapid acceleration as she tried to reach him. Multiple magic circles appeared around her as she injected them with as much mana as possible from her dedicated reactor, which was connected to her through an accessory with a miniature wormhole. However, by the time they were ready, Aron had already retreated, and the doppelgänger had gone through the wormhole shortly after, causing a pit to form in her stomach.

“Nova, tell me he is safe...

997 - A Mess

Mars Central Command

Inside the center of the empire's military surveillance technology central command, a screen wide enough to allow for every important sector within the empire to be shown simultaneously was currently operating under wartime mobilization. All of the screens were now covered with footage live-streamed from avatars who were still wreaking havoc in the Conclave.

However, that footage didn’t last long, as it was instantly replaced by the imperial solar system sen...

996 - The Horn

{Veins of the Soul? Is he trying to counter mana poisoning by changing aspects of his soul?}

Ayaka didn’t have any energy to answer Nova, as her eyes were now fully focused on the Soul Veins near the Emperor, her face still covered in horror. This was a result of her finally accessing the full knowledge of what was in front of her and knowing what the possible outcome would be if things went wrong, and based on the complexity of the knowledge, she knew that was the most likely outcome...

995 - Soul Veins

From the data that Nova could gather and share, they could see Aron floating silently in the middle of the tank as the materials in his surroundings were undergoing a reaction, with the central controlling and uniting aspect being the Fountain of Life. It was leading the reaction, making many connect it to alchemy, which didn’t really seem too far off.

Other than that, his tainted mana still kept being ejected from his body, but unlike previously, where it was allowed to go everywhere...

994 - Preparations

PSSSSSS! Seconds after Aron entered the cylindrical tank, it locked, and two shields, powered from the outside, activated to their maximum capacity. It was clear that they were preparing for the situation to go beyond their expectations. After all, the Emperor himself didn’t know the possible outcome; he was trusting that the system still had his safety and improvement as one of its paramount objectives.

{Please create a distance of at least ten kilometers,} Nova said in a serious ton...

993 - Reinforcements

The moment he clicked [Yes], a large amount of information was dumped into his mind forcefully and as fast as possible, unlike all the previous times that he had bought knowledge from the system. With the soul pain he was feeling, this additional pain disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean, not leaving any trace of its existence.

The moment he finished digesting the knowledge amidst the continuing pain, he raised his already-risen eyebrows even higher as he wondered what this rea...

992 - The Emperor

{Any development, whether positive or negative, doesn’t matter?} Nova asked as one of her nanomachine bodies materialized next to Ayaka and Lee, who were analyzing the Emperor. He had been in a meditation position for more than seven hours, enduring excruciating pain.

“Although I might be the embodiment of Laifu, the knowledge part of it is still a mystery to me, something that I have to slowly discover through my own effort. I am yet to be at a level where I can find a solution to ...

991 - Pressure Points

‘What are we doing? We have an enemy we are actively at war with who is currently attacking quite a few civilizations that are losing ground with each passing minute, but you are now gathering fleets to go attack a former member who was forced to surrender?’ Bogu the Fifteenth, the leader of the Bogu civilization, asked himself as he looked at the leaders who were now discussing what to do to the Nymari and Elara civilizations, who had just withdrawn from the Conclave a few moments ago. 2025-09-27 04:47:43 +0000 UTC View Post

990 - Final Hit

“I dare any of you to try and leave the Conclave,” the Grand Xor’Vak said as he looked at all the leaders present. It was one of the few times that he had made a direct threat. Most of the time, he preferred giving implied threats that left the recipient to imagine the horror he would inflict on them, which was pretty scary for these people, as they always imagined the worst possible things, in turn working in the Grand Xor’Vak’s favor.

“Before I returned here, I contacted t...

989 - How to Threat and Bribe 101

Many leaders had assumed that with increased access to mana, face-to-face meetings between civilizations would become commonplace. Previously, such gatherings were nearly impossible, requiring either years of conventional travel or the exorbitant cost of mana-fueled wormholes. They yearned for these secure meetings, fearing that their long-distance mana communication nodes could be tapped, preventing them from speaking freely. With travel now a moderate expense, they hoped for deeper conversa...

988 - Divide and -

“They have broken the sacred agreement that united us, and we need to set an example so that no one dares to sully the agreement like they did,” Grand Xor’Vak said, looking at the expressions of everyone in the room, noting their reactions.

“Are you not thinking of leaving this door as a possibility so that if things don’t go well for you, you could surrender as well?” he asked when he saw the reactions of many leaders to be the opposite of what he expected, a quite rare occ...

987 - Hindsight is always twenty-twenty

With the surrender agreement already signed and binding, Hogu was released to coordinate the imperial army's takeover and the securing of the planets. To do that, he started by providing the entire civilization's absolute coordinates to allow the empire to send personnel as fast as possible.

“............,” Hogu watched, speechless at the massive wormhole that had opened in the orbit of his civilization's capital planet, followed by a fleet of massive ships coming through it before ...

986 - How to Make a Threat 101

“Thank you for the effort and sacrifices you made to reduce the number of casualties,” Youssef said as he collected the pieces of paper on the table, tapping them neatly together while keeping his eyes on the person on the opposite side.

“The things we do for our people,” Hogu, the leader of the Nymari civilization, said with a bitter smile on his face, having just signed the unconditional surrender accords of his civilization to the empire.

As the weakest civilization in ...

985 - Le France

If someone watched the situation in the solar system from above with all the Conclave fleets highlighted, they would see that a majority of them were slowing down, not going forward to complete the pincer maneuver they were initially planning at the start of the war.

The only Conclave fleets that were still moving were those now trapped inside the Oort cloud, locked from attempting to enter FTL travel due to the spatial blockers preventing any and all attempts. But remaining still was n...

984 - Feared by Allies

“I’m pretty sure I would have attacked the towers and destroyed them the moment I realized what they were being used for, but why are you still connected to the VR?” Seraphina asked. It had been hours since the war started, but she still maintained communication with some people of her faction who remained behind, continuing their presence in their home civilization.

More than half of them had already moved to the empire, with the empire being generous enough to create a super-lar...

983 - "Oh shit"

“FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!”

The leader of the Elara shouted in anger as he walked at an increasing pace, surrounded by his family with royal guards flanking them on both sides, being very vigilant as they hurried through the underground tunnel towards the escape location.

Everyone else was extremely silent, with only their steps contributing to the noise, which grew calmer and calmer the closer they got to their bunker.

This corridor was created and constantly upd...
