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 all began when Noxora's president discovered a new energy source—an element called 'Neuronium'—at one of Noxora's mining sites.
__
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 condensed form of energy created by Taesin himself, which he had named 'Neutronic energy'.
Taesin never revealed his real identity. Nobody knew him because he never showed his face, yet he had created massive machines—mechs, cars armed with weapons that could drive on water and air, human-like robots, even spaceships and aircraft.
His technology was far more advanced than anything in the modern world. But no one knew, because he never revealed it.
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 mature, calculative nature.
The second was Ayano – Black-haired with bright amber eyes that sparkle with curiosity. Playful in her expressions, she often carries a mischievous smile.
The third was Akino – Almost identical to Ayano, with the same black hair, but her soft brown eyes give her a gentler, more innocent look.
The fourth was Eun-ji – Brown hair neatly tied back, paired with cool blue-gray eyes. Her serious face and quiet presence make her seem distant 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.
The sixth and last was Luna – Small-bodied with 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 didn't think much about Noxora finding a few crystals of his energy, but he was concerned about the war. He knew Solaria was destined to win with allies like the Novara Union (NU), Hanrei, and Sundara.
Arin came up behind him, wearing 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 switched off the massive TV in front of him.
"Send an invisible battle drone. I want to see the deal live."
Arin smirked. "Already done." She connected the TV to the drone's camera feed.
On the screen, a round table appeared. Around it sat the presidents of Solaria's allied countries—and Noxora's president.
Taesin listened to every word exchanged, every order given to assistants.
According to the discussion, Noxora's president was about to hand each country a fragment of neuronium crystal in exchange for betraying Solaria and supporting Noxora.
Taesin didn't react outwardly, 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. 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."
Later, when drones were sent to track Noxora's president, the truth came out—they had five hundred grams and were building a new weapon with it.
Taesin had an abundant supply of Neutronic energy, since he was the one who 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 finished his coffee, grabbed a choco stick, and rose from the sofa, heading toward his room.
Eun-ji followed quietly. Once inside, she asked, "What should we do next?"
Before he could answer, there was a knock. The door slid open automatically, and Amagi entered.
"Boss," Amagi said, "every one of Solaria's allies has backed out. They've accepted Noxora's deal. The transfer of neuronium will take place at 2 PM tomorrow."
Taesin paused, then ordered, "Prepare Chopper for tomorrow."
The next morning, Taesin sat on the sofa for breakfast. Ayano and Akino brought the food.
"Chopper is ready," Amagi reported.
Eun-ji greeted Taesin, then explained, "Rumors and strange theories about neuronium are spreading everywhere. There's even a video linking Nexera to it. It's not viral yet, but it has many views."
That could create suspicions about him later. He decided to handle the problem soon.
Casually, he asked, "Luna, are all the mechs ready and in top condition?"
Luna, lying on the sofa, opened her glowing eyes. Screens flashed in rapid succession.
"They're all perfect and ready for combat," she replied.
Taesin thought for a moment. "Ok."
It was rare for him to check on everything, but today his tone was different. There was hesitation in him.
He stood and sighed. "Arin," he called, and then explained the plan.
"Among Solaria's allies, the ones betraying are NS, Sundara, and Hanrei. The neuronium will 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."
