stubborn higherup post "war"
SH ended up killing the other nations higherup and used their body as a resource for the research, same with all the other ones who were executed
due to there being so many deaths, many bodies were used as mere fuel for the machines
but what exactly do they even want to archive? they never clearly explained to anyone actually, not even during the discussions
their original goal was literally just to get to this point, to have gone through a difficulr journey with many sacrefices
but theyre not standing there, having nothing to do: they did plan in advance to change their world, visually mainly
they were "inspired" by how hell was depcted in a few stories, not really caring for the implications of what hell means to differnt people, a kingdom is a kingdom to them
they want the sky to be dark grey during day and black during night with speciffic star assortments
the bodies burnt blood will be used to add that constandly dark effect
have every enclosed space be differnt inside from outside
they also want all the architecture to be rebuild, a new city plan and everything
while that happens, they think of what else to go after, one of their ideas from far back when they didnt know all the limits, they wanted their world to be isolated, not out of fear or anything, but to make time irelevant
if theres no outside influence and planned events and whatever: they can take their time as much as they want, without anyone batting an eye
they randomly thought about how sleep should get ruled out
after a few days from the "war", they decide to hire an asistant, theyre starting to grow uneasy while alone, not because they hate being alone, but because they noticed that the ideas come a lot slower and more muddy: aka they want some asistant to discuss things with (secretly they just want company shhhh)
after getting an update on how things go, they look through all current residents to see if anyone already had made a job request, there were a few ones but they decided on one, they didnt really decide much tho as they can just execute whoever doesnt end up fitting
which ended up happening, that asistant was far too chatty and annoyed them
SH then just took whoever was second in line, this one
SH and SHA seem to get along decently, but its very obvious to SH that their asistant isnt there for just any reason, they seem to have a goal of their own
SH someday plainly just asks them if they have any speciffic goal
SHA thinks for a bit, "to see how things go, what the true limits of reality are" (which is technicaly true)
SH knows that thats not the full truth, but they accept it for now
its imidiatly visible how much faster talking about ideas being better is for SH, soon enough
one thing they came up with was to "stop time" for speciffic aspects (the sky darkening process), they managed to extent the system thats used to keeping track of residents to the whole world
they also managed to speed up the rebuilding of the place, [taking inspiration of ancient rome and darksouls, just more concret, no plants and more hell-ish]
some time passes [probably about 10 or so years if we wanna count the non moving time]
SHA hasnt come any closer to their goal sadly, but they dont get discuraged
SH is basically vibin, they still wanna advance, but theyve come to a point where everyone who can know, knows about them, the few "spies" they sent out confirm that
SHA is aware that theyre never mentioned anywhere, its all about SH, but they dont mind, someday they will have the spotlight
but is it all actually true? is SH really ruling over a kingdom? is anyone else actually there to whitness anything?
