the land on which we live.
In a metallic, dimly lit corridor, the technological atmosphere contrasted with the thick metal walls. Illuminated white bulbs gave the Earth a futuristic appearance. In the year 3002, an extraordinary conference is being held due to an unexpected event for most participants. Their last recorded event dates back 300 years, since the last great voyager.
Our young Axel Maldini caused a sensation that stirred the thoughts of the high command. A man with noticeable receding hairlines, along with a military cut, marked his forehead with lines, a result of the stress in recent months.
Our current general is the son of the Grand member of the Alliance party, previously the president and secretary of the party. However, numerous attempts to follow the family legacy left him with unbearable headaches.
The great general, his father, passed away 20 years ago. His young son has worked tirelessly, climbing the ranks to become the operator of the military center of the Alliance party, responsible for handling the major disturbances occurring on the coasts, as they were filled with leviathans and large sea monsters.
This morning, he was investigating the current events in the state of Castilla until an extraordinary meeting was called. Surprised by what might have happened, he thought to himself, perhaps Oceania fell into despair; his sources indicated a possible leviathan surge in the oceans of Oceania.
He will have to prepare well because he hadn't slept the night before. His wife asked if something was wrong, as bad news was abundant in these times.
The general tried to find calmness; the leviathans continued to lurk in the depths of the sea, becoming more aggressive every day. He ingested a medical pill to calm his sleep. Previously, it was said that coffee was the main element people used to counteract sleep, but everything was lost. Most plants were destroyed after the great acid rain nearly 300 years ago, at the worst point in humanity.
How are they still alive? It's all due to the great hero, but he only reached a thin line between stability and chaos. A dangerous balance, hanging on luck, chance, and quick responses from the coastal military.
For now, people lived under an almost comical austerity. He had grown up in a military environment, and they told him it wasn't much different from the lives of other children. He could even shield himself from the large waves of sun that engulfed the inhabitants or the harsh winters, the white snowfalls that appeared at an inopportune moment and froze everything in its path. The Earth was a walking catastrophe; only the force of survival had raised the lights for the people of the 3000th century.
The general shrank in his position, with thoughts that continued to consume him. But he was sad; his wife was pregnant. Despite it being good fortune to have children, the sadness of bringing children into this world where they couldn't enjoy the land, the desolate world, the heavy air, extreme climates, and pollution that slowly killed them. Not being able to deny them something was what every parent wanted.
However, one thing was clear: the previous generations, in their consumerism and machinations, had destroyed everything. Now only unity was the rigor of salvation for humanity. Those stupid games that the previous leaders of the countries played around ideal positions, seeking rewards for a class of people who only thought of immediate benefits, were extinguished after the many accumulated mistakes.
-Sir, we have arrived at the destination, - said the pilot.
-Thank you, soldier,- said General Lacroff.
The journey to the world system took 10 minutes. There was a room equally illuminated by white bulbs, a sterile white that dazzled the eyes. He was surprised to see all the great commanders from the regions of the Country of Freedom, the three commanders occupying the new Castilla, the rochet below Castilla.
The country of the savannah, the celestial countries, the countries of the white rose, all together. Ministers along with their engineers belonging to the world system, leaders along with governors, a total of the 70 most powerful people in the world, all seated, and some were still to arrive.
Took a seat, greeted some colleagues, shared a few phrases, and approached the chief engineer of Castilla to inquire about the event that could bring together so many important people in one room.
-Don't you know - said the chief engineer, from the world system, a former military companion.
-No, forgive me. We had a problem with disturbances on the coasts of Castilla, and I've been busy all week. The guerrilla group Losetas has been instigating war with the Country of Freedom and the Blue Rivers - said the general.
There are always dissatisfied people who complain about everything, never satisfied, whether they have a lot or a little. A few advocates are against sharing resources since the Castilla region is one of the nations with the most resources, both by sea and land. Even the former Amazon of America still has some water requirements, and there are mountains high above that survived the great rains, causing discontent among the population. Our children are starving, and we have to follow the Lopeck treaty.
There haven't been disturbances yet, but the atmosphere is chaotic. Unity is sought, as the constitution establishes, but politics is sterile in some cases.
-Excuse me, General, I didn't know there would be so many issues in the country of Castilla. Recently, a young Axel Maldini from the country of Castilla, born to parents of the White Rose, has been illuminating the world like a beacon. According to the reports we have, he has been signaling something significant to the world system. In about 6 months, we'll see what caused such a gigantic flicker in the world system. Meanwhile, a comprehensive study has been conducted on the possible conclusions drawn by the chief engineer and his study group. - said Cormna.
The results are perplexing, so an extraordinary meeting was planned because apparently, we don't know if it's good news or bad. - said Engineer Cormna.
A loud thunderous noise was heard, signaling the start of this meeting. The projectors turned on, and the white lights went out. Everyone could see, loud and clear, a young man with black hair smiling.
An old gray-haired man with a cane walked slowly onto the stage. He slurped his lips, swallowed, adjusted his suit, and used the static system to maintain better balance without a cane.
The Leader of the World System, Einzmer.
-Welcome to the extraordinary conference called by the world system. -
-We will proceed with Protocol 650 - exclamations echoed in the room.
A roar of indignation crossed the entire room. This protocol means special protection inverted only to scarce and selective individuals. It is given to great intellectuals who have changed the Earth's surface with their experiments to great heroes who have returned from the world system, and to the families of the great heroes who have achieved unconventional feats on their journeys. Living with such protections, only two people and one is sitting in front with his cane, and the other member is his wife.
-For Mr. Axel Mandini, for his mother Catherine Mandini, and his twin siblings Lupa and Luo Mandini. They are granted the status of protectors under the lineage of the world's work, head of the family Axel Mandini. The small two-room house in the arid suburbs of the New Guinea Bay is paid for and granted by Axel Mandini's achievements. The medical service for twin Lupa is granted for a lifetime. - said the old man with a slow and unquestionably powerful voice. One of the world's best inventors.
>>We will present the reasons why Protocol 650 has already been implemented. Young Axel Mandini initiated his first and last session. Initially, we considered it impossible to retrieve achievements from the hidden world of the impetuous sea. This world has a double SS classification and is one of the most dangerous worlds, even the leviathans of our sea seem like simple sharks, sea creatures kilometers in length that could eat islands. Unpredictable climates where current tornadoes and even heavy snowfalls can occur at any time. -
>>Do not be surprised; great natural disasters plague that world. So far, this young man has been in this world for five months and 20 days. You might say that's very little; however, the last records we have of someone lasting 2 months were 200 years ago. -
The old man started to moisten his mouth again with saliva.
>>This young man has managed to surpass the stay rank in one of the most dangerous worlds presented to us. His feats in the world system have been illuminated in green four times, meaning there are four great rewards available to us in five months. As you well know, the colors light up depending on the degree of reward. An orange-colored reward implies food resources for three months, which are the most common and are usually given every four or five years. -
The yellow color was last lit 50 years ago when there were no acid rains for a year, followed by the green and blue colors. The last time the green color was lit was by our great traveling hero, the Angel of Langell. With a total of five green lights, he managed to bring some organization to this world, preventing leviathans and large animals from entering cities. He also minimized attacks on ships. -
>>At this moment, four green lights have been lit, and we await the fifth green light. The Maldini family is now under the protection of the world system, and anyone who interferes with their lives will face the full weight that the world system can impose. Their security is the maximum security protocol 003. -
>>Therefore, we request cooperation. We have studied New Guinea Bay, which has a total of 60,000 citizens, and has installed a special military security team for protection, a police station in the neighborhood belonging to Axel Maldini. We work from the shadows, and we hope that the generals in charge of the country of Castilla will follow our specifications. -
-In approximately 6 months and 10 days, the year when the rewards will be distributed will be fulfilled. - He paused for a moment and took a sip of water that was resting just to his left.
>>If Axel Mandini dies, all the provided information will be handed over, and the world will unfortunately be reset. However, if he manages to endure two years in the hidden world, he will transmit to us the best moments of Axel. During those two years, which we will guard carefully, we will provide a major worldwide television event in a condensed video of 10 episodes, each lasting 2 hours. -
>> We will broadcast to those who wish to see the live broadcast about Axel Maldini's actions, delivered with a one-day delay after the world system removes brief parts of Axel Maldini's daily life. We have a new hero, a hero who could even be the most important person of the millennium. - said the old man.
-Any questions from the members of this extraordinary meeting? - Einzmer.
There was a deathly silence. Any word or action that could be misinterpreted would almost be an all-out war with the world system. The meeting was confidential, so the methods for transmitting to the people of Earth about everything discussed in this extraordinary meeting were not yet disclosed.
Our General Augustos from the country of Castilla, responsible for the security and protection of the Castilla Guinea Caribbean zone, sat stunned for a moment. First, there was fear, and in the next moment, there was joy. He would have to make some adjustments to the locations of the arid neighborhoods in Guinea Bay, and although they were not hot zones, there were prevailing dangers in the area to address.
He could initiate a few public policies with the President of Castilla and the corresponding ministers to improve the entire New Guinea, the entire great mountain range, and the forests belonging to the Amazon. These were the areas bordering the Air Bay in New Guinea.
His home was nearby, about 200 km away, in the case of what was once Venezuela, forgotten for more than 1500 years.
In the Bumblebee Mountains, one of the best living properties in Castilla. He would have to establish safe zones in New Guinea against leviathans and possible lawbreakers who, although reduced, would always exist.
He arrived as he left, with fatigue on his face and a present discomfort.
