Sharp Progress...

"This is quite a sore joke… if any… with these beasts the only capable creatures… to fight." Amelia felt restless after fighting the monsters bred within the wild of the Spatial Ark Star World.

She wasn't alone out hunting with May and Layla fighting beside her.

Amelia wore a pantsuit ensemble matching the tone of her platinum white and rich golden hair-colour, which still appeared fresh and clean without a drop of blood on the clothes.

She moved fast enough to stop any drops of the monster blood from splashing onto her clothes or those around her.

The three girls became as swift as the wind and sharp as a blade that they couldn't be handled by anyone normal in the Space besides those who started practising cultivation.

For the last 17 days they worked on improving their skillset and abilities within the Spatial Ark Star World.

The three of them Levelled Up to 21 in just over a fortnight, making each of them powerful compared to anyone on Earth.

James and his wife noticed the differences with their daughter, but Amelia simply replied that Esmond would eventually explain it to them.

Julia heard the same sort of excuse from Layla but was assured she would learn about the process soon enough.

Esmond wanted to invite them into the Space at a later date and ask Igdra to help with their evolution but right now wasn't the perfect time.

May's father couldn't understand the changes to the same level as the other parents who were beside their daughter more often but based on what the servants told him; Zhao believed his daughter awakened a part of their hidden past.

Similarly, James felt the same thing as did Julia who all heard stories about their history and past but after seeing their children once they completed their transformation, it felt like the stories of legend were possibly true.

Of course, James tried to learn more from the horse's mouth, but Esmond wouldn't explain a single thing, just stating they would find out in the coming months.

Esmond's reason to not evolve their body, mind and soul related to the pressures on the Aeternus Curatio Group and Phantom Security Services.

.

Pressures from western powers like the United States of America, England, France, and Canada were trying their all to bring the group over to their nations.

From offering land to help hasten government processes and regulations, the western powers saw the value in the many different companies under the Aeternus Curatio Group.

The Australian government eventually stepped in and started setting up some deals and offers with the Aeternus Curatio Group to help kickstart the establishment of their own new city within South Australia.

Compared to the issues faced by the Phantom Security Services, the Aeternus Curatio Group had a blissful life.

Africa finally started to cause numerous problems for the Phantom Security Services, with spy agencies trying to interfere with their operations.

China believed the Phantom Security Services were responsible for the death of their Operatives and started their attacks with Russian FSB Agents helping them.

While their actions weren't enough to cause any deaths yet of the Phantom Security Services, there had been plenty of close calls that nearly sent Esmond up a wall.

America tried to communicate through official channels but also used the remaining operatives within the region to gain some sort of relationship with the Phantom Security Services.

Unfortunately for all of them, the Phantom Security Services were too focused on the next stage of their work.

All the nations under their protection and maintenance required a large sense of assurance the past wouldn't return, especially with the purging and arrests of warlords.

Criminals found themselves being held accountable with startling amounts of evidence which Carter collected and helped push their cases along.

A makeshift prison through the help of Capsule Pods quickly established an inescapable prison which locked up the worst offenders together from all the nations taken under their wing of protection.

Vita Primus BioTech quickly became a leading figure of health and welfare across the African continent that saw Malaria, Tuberculosis, and Measles become an issue of the past.

Other health problems like HIV and AIDS were being treated at a rapid pace, helping ease the work of the U.N and other charity organisations.

Forbes and other media groups wanted to understand how the company could operate so freely but the Aeternus Curatio Group Spokesperson just explained Vita Primus BioTech focused on developing the people of human society.

But to do that, we first needed to focus on helping elevate the baseline of humanity across Earth.

With help from Vita Primus BioTech, the African continent could easily become the leading figure across the world for healthcare.

Theranos, a health technology company saw itself drop in valuation once its main piece of technology design and product was easily created by Vita Primus BioTech.

Eddie saw this moment to start the takeover of Theranos and change them into a research institution while using members of the Spatial Ark Star World.

Only certain individuals were kept like Ian Gibbons and Rakesh Dewan who were instrumental in making the first demo for Theranos, even if it didn't work.

Edmond Ku was brought back onboard by Eddie, while also providing him a generous package and bonuses.

Raqsa the Us'Theraei Clansman scientist's sister found him while doing her own research on the company leading Aswahi to take over the company as CEO.

Carter created her backstory to say she studied in Cairo before moving over to the United States at a staggering height of 6 feet 8 inches.

Her powerful body stance and demeanour easily caught the attention of anyone who saw her which quickly garnered her the name Elite Queen by the media fans since she wasn't one to take crap from anyone.

She used Africa as an opportunity to market the success of the company even though it had a difficult past with its management leading to the tough questions posed by the journalists.

She refuted them when they accused Aswahi of marketing a product that didn't work but after the live demonstrations showed a test result within a couple of moments, it sent the price of the company skyrocketing.

Because the working prototype was deemed safe for use in African hospitals, the Phantom Security Services decided to focus heavily on protecting the prototypes from theft or espionage mishandling.

.

Some of the socio-economic issues of the continent started improving the educational system, reducing unemployment by hiring people to take care of the major construction sites once they had gone through the relevant training.

Somalia, Sudan Uganda, Kenya, Ethiopia on the eastern coast of Africa and Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali Burkina Faso Nigeria, Cameroon, and Niger on the western coast saw the biggest improvements.

Chad helped connect the two coasts together to set up a railway network that kickstarted the layout of the Great Trans-Sahara-Nile Highway which also laid down the foundation for several cities and connecting smaller expressways.

The Necthea Institute and the other academies within the Space also started developing schools across the countries tightly in the Phantom Security Services grasp.

Starfleet looked for new recruits by creating their educational institutions, already dragging in several tens of thousands of new students into their vast academies.

To Esmond's surprise, some of the students had radical ideas and design plans in their minds which found themselves on paper once the students under the basic fundamentals in all subjects.

One student created a gaming engine to help the systems of the game operate without any problem, but his teachers believed it could vastly improve with the right guidance.

His professor, a G.A.E Human helped the student create a gaming engine that ended up becoming a foundation of the Gloomy Shadow Games.

When Carter came across the information, he decided to let Louis and Felix know and hoped they could take him under their wing in the future.

Starlight Entertainment Division would be the future of Esmond's gaming brands as it would work similar to a publishing house for the finished products while the developers would be Gloomy Shadow Games.

Certain species from the Space had already found themselves in the possession of an illusion Amulet to help give them a human appearance even though they kept the main characteristics of their former look.

In the case of the Arch Primordial Elves, their tall bodies and exquisite appear meant they looked like superstars before everyone.

One of the Arch Primordial Elves called Ohin found himself joining a meeting for the establishment of Starlight Entertainment Division.

Acting as creative manager and supervisor, Ohin helped increase the efficiency of his department by using his imaginative nature and skills to help those around him to excel.

During the meeting, Ohin hoped his work would prove to those around him that he could take on greater responsibility.

Much to his surprise, this meant making him the star model of their future game and voice actor.

This kickstarted the introduction of new stars and models on Earth through the Space.

.

Esmond felt like the last fortnight had been a wild dream that past by before he knew it.

Helping the girls improve their strength while making their relationship closer drained Esmond to the point he didn't have much left in the tank with his power locked.

With the girls increasing their Level at a decent pace, Esmond found himself spending his nights in the company of his women instead of focusing in the Virtual Labs.

He didn't mind it one bit but after Igdra allowed the Primordial Genealogy to activate, the three girls went through a startling transformation that put them on the same level of elegance as Igdra.

Though as a Primordial Áine Spirit her beauty was a step above the rest.

The three girls still possessed an allure that set them apart from others, close to establishing them as Goddesses on Earth.

They also started wearing half-face masks like Esmond, but even then, their eyes could steal the hearts and minds of those around them.

This led to the three girls creating a storm at the university campus everyday but with Esmond beside them, nobody dared to say a word.

The girls also went on a small trip to Stovi and learnt about nobility from Angela who'd already started work on creating the foundational system to manage the education and etiquette of nobility.

Angela got in contact with her father, the Grand Duke Morbarth who started organising a cooperation between the two lands.

When the three girls went hunting down in Wicked Grove near the unexplored forest Esmond first summoned in, they annihilated all of the large monsters in the region that weren't taken care of by the Sicarius Clan or Frigus, Rath, and the Four Direwolve Kings.

They all missed hunting with Esmond, but they also enjoyed fighting on their own as a team that easily wiped out most creatures but left a few behind to grow and become stronger.

They girls joined Esmond's beasts while hunting and found themselves venturing deeper into the unexplored forest at the end of Wicked Grove.

Amelia found herself absolutely stunned by the sight of Frigus, the Ice Dragon, which only left her wanting a tamed dragon of her own.

Even Frigus could understand her pains and cries deep within her soul that was reminiscent to a dragons own.

Rath kept close watch over May and preferred to rub his head against hers, while the four Direwolves who'd turned into a massive giants listened to Layla's calls without any issues

For some reason they connected with her heartfelt desires for war and battles, even though those thoughts only just developed, they resonated heavily with Layla's core dire to be strong enough to not need her mother's protection.

Rather she wanted to be the one to give her mother a safe environment to live and breathe.

Jones, the Kraken also participated in the hunts since the battles had come to an end mostly across Africa.

The ships of the Spatial Ark Star Station and Phantom Security Services quickly set up enough docks and ports for themselves that they couldn't be removed easily from the region.

Some Kraken Younglings were keeping a watch over the seas and still cleaning up the mess left behind by humanity.

Most of the deep areas of the sea were cleaned up and turned into heavenly sections within Earth's deep sea.

Certain parts of the sea were revitalised and energies by the Krakens but the more Jones increased his Level, their work produced a better result.
