The morning air was crisp, carrying the scent of freshly brewed coffee and the lingering warmth of the silk sheets Alberto had just left behind.

As he strode across his opulent chamber, the polished marble floor beneath his feet radiated the coolness of the morning. He turned on the sink, letting the cold water cascade over his hands before splashing it onto his face. The sensation jolted him awake, a stark contrast to the golden glow of dawn spilling through the towering windows.

Just as he began brushing his teeth, a sharp, digital chime echoed through his mind.

「Ding! Quest Completed!」

_「You have successfully ended the war on the Ostra Continent. Harnas has surrendered! Your banner now flies across all major territories. The world acknowledges your rule.」_

Alberto froze. Then, a slow smirk stretched across his face.

"Looks like we won faster than expected," he muttered, spitting into the sink.
