It was a tense situation. Daniel watched nervously as Lucy let out a low sigh, calming her anger. After all, it was true that she had allowed Frien to handle the order and hadn’t specified that she wanted anything else. ‘But still…’ From Lucy’s perspective, who had wanted to try the éclair that Daniel had praised so highly, there was no denying the lingering disappointment. Half-closing her eyes, she stared down at the mint chip ice cream in front of her. The bright turquoise color gave no hints…- 2.2 M • Ongoing
- It was a tense situation. Daniel watched nervously as Lucy let out a low sigh, calming her anger.

- After informing Lucy of the dessert shop’s location, I left the headquarters and boarded a jeep, heading toward the munitions factory that Lieutenant McCall had reported. Roughly 30 minutes into the drive, the driver gently pressed the brakes. The jeep gradually slowed down before coming to a complete stop at the entrance of the ruined munitions factory. “We’ve arrived, Commander.” I gave the driver a nod, opened the door, and stepped outside. Passing through the partially collapsed gate, I spotted…

- There were no signs of riots or protests in Nordia. More than that, it was completely peaceful. Looking out the window of the office, I could even see a few citizens smiling and chatting with the garrison soldiers on patrol. ‘…Shouldn’t they be scared of us?’ It had already been fifteen days since I was appointed as the interim garrison commander. And yet, not even a hint of trouble had occurred, leaving me feeling somewhat deflated. I shifted my gaze away from the scenery outside and examined the…

- Ten days later. I was patrolling the outskirts of the city under the pretense of inspecting security, accompanied by officers and soldiers. Why the outskirts? Because I figured it was the best place to hear the raw complaints and dissatisfaction of the citizens—far from the center where the garrison was stationed. But there was nothing. I walked carefully, straining my ears, but no one voiced complaints about the garrison. At most, a few citizens gave me strange looks before bowing their heads slightly…

- Being promoted to Major in occupied territory felt like a dream. To be more precise, it was closer to a nightmare. What was even more horrifying was that the series of events I was currently experiencing weren’t a nightmare at all. This was reality. “Congratulations on your promotion, Major Daniel Steiner.” Lucy’s voice echoed hollowly within the office. “As you know, the General Staff has entrusted you with the position of interim garrison commander. The division commander is leading the unit…

- Lieutenant McCall carried out Daniel’s orders, tying up the enemy leadership and soldiers with the help of their men. Some of the officers grit their teeth in humiliation, their expressions dark, but no incidents occurred. Daniel’s earlier command—“Shoot anyone who resists.”—hung over them like a blade. These cowards, who had prioritized their own survival by blending into the evacuation, weren’t about to risk their lives now. After securing the prisoners, McCall ordered the radio operator to…

- Orders Are Absolute As a soldier, orders must be followed. That included me. Refusing wasn’t an option. And so, with no other choice, I led my company—who had arrived late—forward as the rear support unit for the brigade, advancing toward the enemy base. We marched through the dark tunnel, relying on flashlights, until we spotted light filtering through cracks in the ceiling. Emerging cautiously, we found ourselves in the middle of the enemy’s supply base. It was a massive warehouse packed with…

- Early Morning Lucy entered the tent at dawn. “Captain Daniel Steiner. I have urgent news—” She halted mid-sentence as her eyes fell on Daniel, who was lying on a cot near the edge of the tent. His blanket was haphazardly draped over him, and his exhausted state was apparent. It made sense. While the other soldiers and officers had taken the opportunity to rest upon reaching the forward outpost, Daniel had been dragged to the operations command center at the division commander’s orders and had only…

- Daniel arrived at the divisional headquarters of the forward base, leading the captured prisoners. After sending his wounded soldiers to the medical unit, he began unpacking his belongings. He had barely settled in when he considered pouring himself a glass of the officer’s supply whiskey to ease his fatigue. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right time. “Captain Daniel Steiner? The division commander requests your presence.” Without even a moment to rest, Daniel nodded and followed the adjutant toward…
