Somewhere in the vast universe, there was a planet named Earsl. Similar to Modern Earth in Milky-way, it was habitable and dominated by Humans.
On the east of Asia equivalent of this planet–Seris– existed a beautiful nation, Solaria. Peaceful for living.
But now it wasn't, since the president of Noxora had made a strange decision to start a territorial war between Noxora and Solaria.
It began when the president of Noxora discovered a new energy source in an element called 'Neuronium' at one of Noxora's mining sites.
There is just one thing that I want from you: don't be afraid of taking up space.
Inside a large mountain villa, a boy sat on a sofa. He was around twenty—Kim Taesin.
Huff…
That so-called new element, neuronium, was actually a kind of condensed energy created by Taesin himself and which he had called 'Neutronic energy'.
Taesin never showed his real identity. Nobody knew him because he never showed his face, yet he had created massive machines—mechs, cars armed with weapons which could drive on water and air, human-like robots, even spaceships and aircraft.
His technology far outstripped that of the modern world, but none knew it since he never exposed it to the world.
He started at the age of three, and in seven years he had achieved all of this.
Taesin created only six human-like robots with emotions built in. Each was unique.
The first was Amagi – a tall girl with long black hair and sharp gray eyes. Her calm gaze and composed posture reflect her nature - mature and calculative.
The second was Ayano – black-haired, bright amber-eyed, sparkling with curiosity; playful in the expressions, often carrying a mischievous smile.
The third was Akino - almost a carbon copy of Ayano, with the same black hair, but her soft brown eyes gave her a softer, more innocent look.
The fourth was Eun-ji: brown hair, combed back in neat order and cool blue-gray eyes. Her face is serious, and her quietness makes her seem standoffish but reliable.
The fifth was Arin – Striking red hair flowing down her back and piercing green eyes. Her cautious stare hides a protective side that emerges only for Taesin.
Sixth and last was Luna: with a small body, short silver hair, and glowing violet eyes. Though she looks like a 10-year-old girl, she controls Taesin's Mechs and several of his luxurious spaceships, balancing her tsundere attitude with the confidence of a genius pilot.
Taesin also had multiple satellites, battle suits, defense drones, and much more.
He wasn't worried about Noxora finding a few crystals of his energy, but he was concerned about the war. He knew Solaria, with allies such as the Novara Union, Hanrei, and Sundara, was destined to win.
Arin came up behind him, in jeans and an open jacket over a tank top.
She stood near him.
"Noxora has a secret deal with all of Solaria's allies," she said.
Taesin turned off the huge TV in front of him.
"Send an invisible battle drone. I want to see the deal live."
Arin smirked. "Already done." She hooked up the TV to the drone's camera feed.
On the screen, a round table materialized. Around it sat the presidents of the states allied with Solaria—and Noxora's president.
Taesin listened to every word exchanged, every order given to assistants.
In this discussion, it has been said that Noxora's president is going to hand each country a piece of neuronium crystal in exchange for betraying Solaria and supporting Noxora.
Taesin didn't outwardly react, but he knew even one hundred grams of condensed Neutronic energy could power all of Noxora for a day. The problem was, he didn't know how much neuronium they truly had.
Ayano entered with a cup of coffee, while Akino followed with snacks.
Taesin took the coffee. Arin said, "One hundred grams will be given to every country that betrays Solaria. Noxora will keep the rest."
Only later, when drones were sent to track the president of Noxora, was the truth revealed: they had five hundred grams and were building a new weapon with it.
Taesin had an ample supply of Neutronic energy, as he was the one who had created it, and all his inventions ran on it. But now to prevent a crisis, he had to reclaim the neuronium.
That night, Eun-ji approached him. "Evening, Boss."
"The news of neuronium is going viral," she continued. "It's also a problem for Nexera. Every engine we sell comes with a sealed bottle containing 0.1 grams of Neutronic energy. It boosts performance by up to 250%. But if research continues, the secret could leak. Other companies will copy us."
Taesin drained his coffee, plucked a choco stick, and stood up from the couch to go into his room.
Eun-ji followed him quietly. Once inside, she asked, "What should we do next?"
Before he could reply, there was a knock. The door slid open automatically, and Amagi entered.
"Boss," Amagi said, "all of Solaria's allies have pulled out. They've accepted Noxora's deal. The transfer of neuronium will take place at 2 PM tomorrow."
Taesin stopped and ordered, "Prepare Chopper for tomorrow."
The next morning Taesin sat on the sofa for breakfast as Ayano and Akino brought the food.
"Chopper is ready," Amagi reported.
Eun-ji greeted Taesin and then said, "There are rumors and weird theories on neuronium everywhere. There's even a video that connects Nexera with it. It is not viral yet, but it has many views.
That may raise suspicions about him later. He decided to get the problem sorted out soon.
Casual as ever, he asked, "Luna, are all the mechs ready and in top condition?"
Slumped on the couch, Luna opened her radiant eyes; screens blazed in fast motion.
"They're all perfect and ready for combat," she replied.
Taesin thought for a moment. "Ok."
Seldom did he check on everything, but today his tone was different; there seemed to be some hesitation in him. He stood and sighed, calling out, "Arin," then explained the plan. "Those betraying among Solaria's allies are NS, Sundara, and Hanrei. The neuronium shall be divided in a 1:1:1:2 ratio. One hundred grams to NS, Sundara, and Hanrei each. Noxora keeps the remaining two hundred grams." Taesin asked, "What are their presidents' schedules? Arin's fingers danced across a holographic keyboard. "Hanrei's president will leave immediately by private jet after receiving the neuronium. NS's president will stay at Noxora's most luxurious hotel-tight security. They've cancelled all bookings, but for us, it's nothing." "As for Sundara's president…" Arin paused, smirking. "He'll be visiting Solaria in his private yacht."
