A couple of dozen minutes have passed since the interview had started. Kant had asked Carl a lot of questions. Some he prepared, and some he made up on the spot. All to which, Carl gave a satisfactory answer. However, not all was good. As the secession progressed, Kant noticed a few things while he questioned and interviewed the candidate. Whenever he asks Carl a question from his list, Carl will provide a very long and detailed answer to it. However, when he asked a question that is his own, his answers…-

"Alright, he is your first question. Can you tell us about your experience in leadership and management, particularly in a high-pressure environment?" Kant asks Carl, who sat on his chair straight up, locking eyes with Kant. He tilts his head and thinks for a minute, before giving a reply. "Pretty well, I assume. I have had a long period of working with many kingdoms around the world, dating back to the early 70s, when I began my career. Though, there is this one case that is etched into my mind," Carl…

24th of Procidens, 5018. It was an unusually dim morning in the city of Hoverdam. The sun had not just risen up to the fullest just yet. The birds, which held on to the branches of the trees with orange leaves, chirped along to sing a song. In his office, Kant sat straight on his comfortable swivel chair, ready to start the interview. He had prepared everything; his outfit, the list of questions he was going to ask, and his cup of coffee, which was extra caffeinated for his occasion. All he had to do,…

Over the week, the Mechanical Engineers at the SELT project had been hard at work, finding and fixing any issues regarding the steam engine locomotive. So far, they had managed to find and fix a lot of issues, such as a faulty throttle system, inaccurate gauges, loose bolts, and a broken fire door, all because they were either lousily put into place, a few components missing, or for some other reasons. Regardless, once they find the points of mechanical failure, they fixed it up and tested it once again.…

16th of Procidens, 5018. It was a bright, sunny morning. Kant was found in his office, with an open book on his desk, a sheet of paper on his table, and a pen in his hand. He was finally learning how to read and write in cursive. He had previously struggled and even refused to learn it. He blamed the teacher, who his child self classified as to be the Devil incarnate, for wanting to torture him for fun, by punishing him for every tiny mistake he made. Even though they did get rid of her, he was…

"What? What do mean?" Marco questions the receptionist, confused by what she meant. The receptionist grabs the patent and flips a few pages back to the beginning. With her index finger, she points to the section of the inventor's name. Right there, written in black ink, was the name 'Kant Icurus Maybale'. A name, only possessed by the king of Hoverdam, King Kant Maybale himself. "Oh... We uh... We didn't know..." Vice muttered, upon seeing the name. The apathetic receptionist lady, however, calmed the…

12th of Procidens, 5018. It was a little late at night. Marco and Vice were walking down the near-empty streets of Hoverdam. They can see businesses closing down, as they were preparing to go to sleep. Marco was seen carrying a briefcase with a bunch of silver coins safely stored in it, strapped to his hands with a pair of steel handcuffs, to ensure it won't get stolen. Recently, they had been getting harassed by a few notorious individuals, who appear to want to take them down by one means, or…

12th of Procidens, 5018. The Imperial Queen of the Aceaton Empire could be found sitting on her fancy wooden chair, inside of her office. Holding her head with her arm on the desk, she looked onward at the map of her empire, that she had commissioned and placed on her wall. It featured all the cities, and towns of her empire, big and small. It also featured her puppet states, which she had managed to take over with the help of Salvator Humat, which was now more of a fractured organization. Though, that…

Over the past few days, the Mechanical Engineers had their hands full in assembling the locomotive together on a testing track, which was a special track that allowed them to test the locomotive, without it being needed to move. Before they can put it on an actual track, they had to make sure that all the mechanical components can work effectively without it breaking apart. That way, they can fix up anything that IS wrong before an actual test could happen in front of his majesty, Kant Icurus Maybale the…

"From what I have managed to gather from the texts, a lot of things that we knew about the demons were... slightly incorrect, to say the least," Jonus replied. "Like what?" Rose questions. "Well, for example, the origins of the demons. Although they do appear to come from a different world, they come from within our own universe, like those creatures, I mentioned." "Really?" "Yes. When one usually thinks of demons, one assumes them to be a sort of evil entity, spreading across many worlds, and…
