[Russian Empire / Moscow Capital]
Third person POV
August 10, 1210
One month after the end of the conflict between the Aboriginal Union and the Russian Empire
With an overwhelming victory belonging to the Russian Empire, the work of territorial expansion was completely continued
This time with the lands captured, the Imperial agencies began to devise further plans to stabilize the economy and demographics.
The state also began to gradually appoint new officials in those lands to manage
Then began to focus on gradually assimilating the indigenous peoples by educating and propagating all sections of society, especially children.
This time Sergey decided to destroy their culture and language in order to make future generations forget their true origins.
Using the Russian Orthodox religion to enlighten and control those stupid natives
Beginning of the establishment of new transport routes along with the establishment of new settlements with a mixture of indigenous peoples and Russian emigrants.
As well as establishing regional security to stabilize and secure the situation as well as being ready to crush any opponents of the Russian Empire.
Prisoners of war will have the dual fate of having to work like slaves for three years before being released and recognized as citizens of the Russian Empire.
And thanks to a strong support system, he is confident that within a year those settlements will become modern industrial cities.
When Russian geologists evaluate this land as a land of abundance and rich in natural resources
Suitable to be invested in logging and industrial production for the country
So in order to do that Sergey needs to make the place attractive to Russian private companies
By quickly building infrastructure and transportation as well as using state-owned companies to invest in advance
Meanwhile in another development
The diplomatic visit between the merchant guild and the Russian Empire ended peacefully
When both sides reached an economic agreement that was beneficial to both sides and the Russian Empire profited from it.
Sergey, after finishing the diplomatic meeting with the merchant guild, he did not rest, but began to write an appointment letter to Charlette and ask his trusted butler to deliver it to her.
Let him explain all her doubts about what happened
The two quickly met at a secret location and he answered any questions she had as he took her on a tour around Moscow.
And he didn't hesitate to explain all the questions to her except the ones that shouldn't be mentioned due to undisclosed national secrets.
Both of them experienced more Russian food and culture and she was like a child entering the supermarket for the first time.
Curious and interested like a child in new things so that's what he thought when he looked at her
There, both of them attracted attention from outsiders due to their attractive looks and aura.
Both of them were secretly followed by agents of the FSB and the trade association to monitor and protect in case any bad situation happened.
Sergey and Charlette also use this opportunity to learn more about each other and she gradually becomes interested in him
The two have established a close relationship and for her he is C̶̶r̶̶u̶̶s̶̶h̶ a friend.
And for him, she is like a best friend
When Charlette and her merchant guild had to leave, she couldn't bear to leave, but due to her job and mission, she had to go.
And Sergey promised to keep in touch with her through the merchant guild branch here to reassure her
At the magnificent Kremlin is the workplace of the supreme authorities of the Russian Empire
And inside the tsar's office we can see Sergey lying on the table
Sergey: Finally done
Sergey said a short sentence when taking a break after a tiring day at work
Meanwhile around him were several approved and reviewed documents and reports that the ministries sent in
From a variety of things related to inquiries and reports from demographics, economics, research and diplomacy
And most probably start planning projects in a new land
Sergey: A new logistics network and making sure it works is a real pain
At present, a new expressway and railway logistics network is starting to be built
As part of the planning of the southeast lands but due to the need to stabilize the other territories
Therefore, the construction progress is expected to be slightly delayed compared to the original plan of the project
*Knock knock knock*
There was a knock on the door that caught Sergey's attention
Sergey: Come in
Dimtri came in with a document in his hand while still smiling friendly
Dimitri: Nice to meet you, master
Dimitri solemnly said
Sergey: I didn't expect you to be here anyway, what brought you here?
Sergey curiously asked while keeping his neutral tone
Dimitri: Well here is the document master requested
Dimitri gave the file to Sergey, which contained information about different countries as well as information about their technological level collected by the FSB
And it lists the countries that use magic and the countries of science
Sergey: So who did we send?
Dimitri: Master Sergey, it's Sergey Lavrov and Gunter
Gunter was one of the people summoned from the system that had established diplomatic stats and was an analyst.
He was also the host to Fritz who was both a noble and a diplomat from Avalus kingdom
It was also a visit to establish official diplomatic relations with Avalus, the first country established with the Russian Empire
Sergey Lavrov is a given character of the system after Sergey completes the mission
His stats and talents are quite impressive from diplomats, analysts and analysts
So these two were chosen to establish relations with other countries
So because this is a pretty important mission for the Home country in terms of economy and foreign affairs, every step must be done extremely carefully and without any mistakes.
And this time the Russian Empire will have to rely on Avalus and the merchant guild to act as a bridge to establish diplomacy with other countries.
In case any bad cases happen, destroyers and cruisers will be sent to escort the diplomatic convoy.
Sergey: So...
Sergey said thoughtfully while thinking for a while and then continued
Sergey: Well I hope everything goes well... and do not make any mistakes
Dimitri: Yes master, everything will be fine
Sergey nodded satisfied
Sergey: Oh yeah, it's been a while since I've seen you and that girl hasn't seen each other, has it?
Dimitri then nodded and said
Dimitri: What do you mean my master Sergey?
Sergey: Anna?
Dimitri: Oh that annoying woman? It's also been a while since the last time we saw each other was a month ago.
Sergey: Interesting how do you feel about that Anna?
Dimitri: Well, master Sergey I must say that you are a rather strange person and a nuisance to me...
Dimitri: But to be honest she's also hardworking and kind as well as pretty
Dimitri flashed a warm smile when it came to the last part which caught Sergey's attention and he suddenly had an idea
Sergey: You seem very interested and like Anna are you starting to fall in love?
Dimitri: Not just-
Sergey: Oh don't worry I always consider you a friend and a comrade, so you don't have to hide it
Dimtiri blushed and became flustered and tried to explain
Dimitri: Wait-
Sergey: You two seem like a good match after you're not dating and when you get married I'll have to prepare
Sergey continued to say surprised and embarrassed Dimitri
Dimitri: What are you saying master, we are just colleagues!
Sergey: Really?
Sergey asked as he flashed a mischievous smile that Dimitri's hunch told him to leave the room.
Dimitri: Excuse me master but I have work to do
Dimitri said as he quickly left the office leaving only Sergey in the room alone
Sergey: Heh looks like he ran away really fast but it's not over yet
Sergey said with a wicked smile as he looked out the door while a conspiracy was forming in his head and it would be fun as well as entertaining.
(A/N: Same too)
Then he took out a photo from his pocket and looked at it with warm eyes for a long time.
It's a picture of him with Liliya and Angela when the three of them went out to the park
Sergey: Didn't expect we are create such a good memory in such a short time
Sergey said as he flashed a rare genuine smile before putting the photo back in his pocket and opening the system monitor.
Liliya and Angela are currently attending school and are kept under wraps by the FSB on his orders because he wants both of them to have a good memory that won't be affected by fame or anything else.
Sergey POV
Sergey: Okay, let's see what we have today...
I said when opened the system and showed the system screen in front of me
From the status board, inventory to shops to buy items
Sergey: It's been a while since I checked it...
I muttered while looking at the status board
Name: Sergey Sokolov
Age 19
Level: 63 lvl
Rank: Tsar
Alignment: True Neutral
Title: Tsar, Strategist, Protagonist, Chick Magnet, Punisher with Fist
Sergey mind: (It's still the same except for a few points what's the title of the fist-puncher?)
I think about what I did to get the title
Sergey mind: (I must have done something nice right?)
I wonder then click on the store section of
To show different categories of items and it's nothing special except new stuff
Sergey mind: (Now this is getting interesting)
I thought while looking at the list of items related to magic and then spirituality
Sergey: Strengthening physical strength, increasing intelligence and exploiting spirituality
Sergey mind: (These are quite interesting and useful when described as strengthening the body will help the body become stronger, more perfect although I don't know if it is useful.. .)
I think about its benefits when it will help me increase my stamina, energy, health and reflexes. If in terms of work, it is completely useless but having to deal with these situations. If a dangerous if someone or some assassin force wants to assassinate me, it will be useful
Sergey mind: (Strengthens intelligence? Well it seems to help me on the work side as I improve my political skills, paperwork and even I can become a home. science)
I thought about it for a while and then said
Sergey: It will definitely be necessary
Sergey: And what the hell is spiritual exploitation?
I wondered because this strange name and reading its detailed description for a moment startled and amazed me.
Sergey: This thing is completely broken
I was a bit surprised when I looked at the description
Guide to unlocking psychics from basic to high level
Allows to read other people's thoughts, control the mind, move objects with the mind depending on the person's potential
It will greatly help the Russian Empire in diplomacy, even its military potential is great when it can control the minds of high-ranking officials and thereby gradually destroying the enemy country of the Russian Empire from within is a huge potential
Sergey: This mind control is the same as Yuri's in the red alert
(A/N: Does anyone know Yuri on red alert?)
I think of Yuri, the main antagonist in the game Red Alert 2 that I played
Sergey: I wonder what it would be like to combine psychic abilities with magic...
I wonder when I think of the enemy soldiers and civilians suddenly betraying their own country
Sergey: It's both terrifying and very potent...
I also think about the opposite side of it
Sergey: It seems that its range is quite limited as it only works within the influence glasses of the psychic and it will be more difficult to find someone with the ability to control psychics than magic.
I then kept quiet for a bit and then whispered
Sergey: I'll think about it later...
(A/N: This time Sergey's choice will be up to the readers, comrades and remember you guys think carefully about it.
Do I continue to see any objects that are interesting to me and the country?
Sergey: Basic magic theory book?
I was amazed when I saw it
Sergey mind: (This will definitely be needed for research purposes and it will help in explaining how magic works)
Currently, the research on the theory and operation of magic has not progressed much
Due to the unknown theory of how magic works despite the help of mage prisoners along with Nigreosland's magical documents collected after the war
Sergey: *sigh* Maybe I should just buy it...
I said then buy different items in the store and even buy more for something else like military doctrine books
The basic magic theory book is extremely expensive compared to those items
If it weren't for the large amount of money I had accumulated in the system after completing the previous quest as well as the decent amount of money I got from the number of aboriginals my soldiers killed
Sergey: My cash will drop quickly for those Items

[Russian Empire / Procyon]
Third person POV
At a complex of weapons factories and laboratories located in the Titan Mountains
It is a place that in the future will be one of the famous military factories that produce scary and dangerous weapons.
It is also a weapons research center owned by government company Imperial Russia
It is also where a group of senior scientists live and work there and including Arkadi working here.
Currently Arkadi and his colleagues are recording and observing a special experiment
Behind that glass is a machine with a specially designed structure that has a bright blue core inside
It emitted small white lightning around it creating a small penetrating curtain
Arkadi: Do it
Arkadi used the radio inside the connected room to signal a few people outside the glass to do something
Then a person holding a Panzerfaust appeared and aimed at that white curtain
His squeeze also caused the Rocket from Panzerfaust to launch quickly into the distance of the white screen
When the bullet hit the curtain, it brightened up a bit for an instant then broke like glass and disappeared
Arkadi was surprised to see that even though the curtain was destroyed by rocket of Panzerfaust
But it was able to protect that penetrating curtain generator with only extremely minor damage
Arkadi: It seems that my theory of magic is partially correct...
Arkadi said thoughtfully while thinking about his theory of magic that he came up with and it was also quite sketchy and rather vague.
When the advent of magic and Magic Stones was announced after the end of the Russo-Nigreosland war, it created a wave of confusion and curiosity in the Russian scientific community.
When the spoils that the army of the Russian Empire obtained were not only resources, gold, and money, but also stones that glowed dimly.
They didn't know what it was at first, until several mage prisoners explained that it was a stone that contained a special energy called mana.
According to research by Russian physicists and chemists, Mana is like a unit of the magic and according to magicians, mana is produced in people, animals, and magic crystals or magic stones that create
(A/N: Yeah is big brain time)
But that was still not enough for Arkadi and the scientists to fully understand it, the nature and workings and origins of magic.
Therefore, it is necessary to try to study more about it and its results will help to improve the civil-military technology but also serve as a stepping stone for the future.
But magic not only attracted the attention of the scientific world but also the Russian Eastern Orthodox Church
That created a great controversy among the Russian Eastern Orthodox about the appearance of magic
A large number of people consider magic to be evil, scary from the devil and there are even people calling for a hunt for those who are considered witches.
There are also many others who think that it is Jesus' blessing for people
That creates an internal contradiction in the views of the current religion of the Russian Empire and Sergey does nothing but observe things.
(A/N: Wow I'm surprirsed I can write those lines)
Arkadi: I'm missing something but what is it...
Arkadi tried to think about what he was lacking in this theory
Magic it was a whole new and mysterious field for him and the Russian experts
There are even some scientists who want to create a special material that combines the properties of magic stones
And in the future how will the magic progress... well let's see what the future will be

[Russian Empire / Kosmos]
Third person POV
Currently at the port of Kosmos one can see a large number of workers transporting goods onto a giant ship
SS Normandie:
(A/N: Honestly, I don't know what kind of ship I should use to carry diplomatic staff, so I might need your help for reference)
On the deck one can see Sergey Lavrov enjoying the beautiful surroundings of a flourishing seaport
Sergey Lavrov: So it started?
Sergey Lavrov mutters as he thinks about what awaits him next on this trip
