120. I am just a dust in the grand scheme of things

September 30, 2023

Different aircraft from all over the world began to arrive in North Korea. Of course, this was not an easy deal. Prior to this, teams from several nations were dispatched to guarantee the leaders' protection. It had been a while since there would be so many world leaders in one location, so the security teams from various nations would need to work together as well as with North Korea to ensure that everything was in order.

The teams that had arrived earlier found the logistics setup to be somewhat of a nightmare. Every country in the globe had roughly the same rules and regulations as well as the same technology, but in this country, the more people saw and understood, the more terrified they became.

The logistical staff came close to rejecting requests from world leaders at times. They weren't sure if everything would proceed according to the norm for the world leaders given the current circumstances. Naturally, their request was turned down. No matter what, the international leaders would show up. Here, greed was the driving force.

Everyone lusted after some North Korean beef. The fact that the most powerful people in the world agreed to attend meant that they would exert pressure on the leader of North Korea to hand over part of their technology. Surprisingly, the Chinese didn't say anything.

They made no mention of the fact that North Korea had developed gravity control, that there were advanced AI androids, or how terrifying their military was. It was simple to comprehend why China had remained mute and had bowed its head before North Korea. They had suffered a loss from North Korea so why would they stop others from suffering the same tragedy.

What North Korea displayed was maybe technology from 50 or 60 years in the future. The actual technology was still under wraps and hadn't been shown to the public yet. China was aware that they had been chosen as the scapegoat and that the other "goats" would soon put their heads on their cutting boards while they watched the jokes.

The world leaders eventually arrived after a busy ten days of work by several teams. The airport has several runways, so it didn't take long for the majority of the world's leaders to arrive by evening.

The world leaders, like everyone else, were astounded by the city and the surroundings. Although they had watched numerous videos, seeing it in person was different. Like USA, many other countries who were capable of huge firepower had sent aircraft carriers, submarines to the borders of North Korea.

Additionally, North Korea made no protests against the naval vessels amassing on its borders. South Korea had also multiple super long range missile launchers in the borders. North Korea remained silent and kept its mouth shut. It appeared as though North Korea had accepted its risky situation. But only China was giggling in secret, the more he saw the situation around, the more he laughed.

Today was the day where the world convention would take place. With the exception of a handful, most of the world leaders had arrived. Smaller nations like Tuvalu, Seychelles and Palau did not make an effort to attend. They did had some greed, but not enough to compete with the big boys. Among the major countries, the one who didn't come was the President of Russia.

It was understood because Russia was in a war with Ukraine. (I'll do my best to approach this topic impartially. Almost no research was done, and my opinions are solely mine. Politics is more complicated, but I'll do my best here.) At the moment, the President was despised by many nations, particularly those in the West. Of course, there were other countries too who had been in war situations like Sudan.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

North Korea had invited the heads of the two competing factions in Sudan, which was experiencing an internal conflict between the two. The similar thing happened in Somalia, where three leaders stepped up to represent the nation and were nearly at each other's throats when they saw each other. They had to be separated from one another by the police, who arrived.

Along with the other world leaders who attended, some of the CEOs of sizable multinational corporations also made an appearance at this convention.

11 am, Earth Palace.

The main hall was constructed similarly to the one at the UN General Assembly, but it was larger, more opulent, and more aesthetically pleasing. Everyone smiled as they settled into the seats they had been given. The only thing that many of the world leader didn't like was that main chair which sat at the start of hall had a much bigger chair and more flair and on the table, the name North Korea was written boldly.

This tiny act indicated that North Korea's leader would sit there and would be accorded greater respect than other nations. The other leaders, who were also world leaders like the North Korean leader, didn't like it very much. Despite their mild indignation, they chose not to express it out loud and instead quietly recorded this minor detail. Some of the world leaders could be really petty.

It was time for the leader of North Korea to arrive, so everyone took a seat. Robin pulled back the curtain from the side of the Hall and walked forward carefully. Cathrin had chosen the whole suit for him. Rita had also come for the convention though they wouldn't attend it like Robin. They came only for emotional support. "You have been working tirelessly for this. Show them what you got." Cathrin said as she kissed him.

He was dressed in a black suit, black slacks, a white shirt, and a black tie.The mask covering his face was the only odd aspect of his disguise. This surprised the world's leaders. At first they thought, that this masked guy was some kind of security for the ruler of North Korea but when he went and sat at the main chair, did it occur to them that the ruler of North Korea had been hiding his face under his mask.

This offended all the world leaders.

"Respected Leader, Good morning... I am Germany's chancellor. Don't you think it's a little inappropriate for you to be hiding your face under a mask while being the representative of the state?" – Germany.

After sitting down, Robin slightly cocked his head to the side and peered at Germany. He was silent for a second before speaking over a voice modifier.

"Good Morning.. First of all, welcome to a new North Korea. Being visited by so many world leaders at once makes me feel honored. This has been nothing but a grand success story of North Korea. And the reason I'm hiding my face is that, in addition to being the leader of North Korea, I also lead a typical daily life, spending the majority of my time outside of North Korea. I cherish my solitude and my small world. Running a country isn't so difficult for me as I have many helpers to do so. Moreover, does anything change when you look at my face? There is only a name and a face. If I pass away, someone else will take my place. When I die, a new face and a new ruler will take over, and everything else will simply crumble to dust. People place an excessive amount of value on being alive. When compared to the vast universe, we are nothing."

Germany felt a little awkward after the final remarks. It was true that humans were nothing in the vast cosmos and could be wiped out with a single universe sneeze. The world leader, however, has never witnessed someone conduct themselves in such a demeaning manner in public.

Even yet, the other world leaders still thought it was incredibly disrespectful of him to hide his face. His words carried weight but it also showed that the ruler lacked basic professional manners. Other countries also wanted to say on this topic but was stopped by a small country.

"Excuse me, Good Morning. I am representing Sudan. I would ask North Korea to kick out the other leader that has been invited. He isn't any leader of Sudan, he is just an imposter. I am the real one. He needs to be thrown out."

"Hey.. Who the hell are you tell that you are the leader of Sudan. You have been killing and exploiting the people of Sudan. You are merely a despot. Sudan has enough of its rulers."

"Who the fuck are you to tell me...,"

"..."

A huge verbal altercation between two people seated across from one another suddenly broke out. It was good that they were given those positions. It would have been bad if it was close to each other. None of the world leaders stepped forward to stop the two as Robin calmly observed them. They said nothing at all.

Robin groaned. This could not continue! He made a little hand motion while raising his hand.

Both of the world leaders experienced an unexpected dark red stain on their foreheads, and a split second later, their lifeless bodies fell to the table.
