âCould you not, appear like that?âŠcanât you just appear normally..like walking here?..â.âNaturallyâŠ.I couldnât, SireâŠon these merry occasion thereâs need to be a beauty in itâŠsince no one here can do that..then it is my duty to do the job~âŠBut still, I am pleased to see you again sirâŠit has been rather mundane without you hereâŠHohohohooâ.(Alfred Monticello)âSureâŠhere, is the list for all the items hereâŠ.hand it over to the Transport supervisorâŠâ.âAs you commanded, Your HighnessâŠSupervisor!!âŠHereâs the list!..hurry up and check the content!âŠâ. (Sasu)Alfred as always, appear like these especially at the moment where he deemed that making a spectacle appearance is a must, and the occasions of me arriving here after being away for sometimes is something that he deemed worthy of such flashy appearance. As we were talking, the transport staff, that were always here in waiting at the Teleport Zone, already started to flooding in, and immediately starting to do their work of inspecting al
As soon as the news of my arrival were spread, naturally one by one of my trusted follower arrived to the Teleport Zone, First it was Alfred, then followed by Andrea and Elijah, after a few dozen minutes, it was Mina, Bina and Rafaela also arrived. We do not immediately leave the area, instead we took out leisure times, to relaxed and talked with each other as we observed the Resource Department Staff, moved all the items that I brought. The scene like what happened before me isnât something that can be usually seen on Earth. Instead of using forklift to haul these boxed and crate. Instead the staff would mixed the effort. Some were using magic to hover the items and moved them around, and there were also, the large sized Demi-Human using their strong physique, Bear Demi-Human and Elephant Demi-Human can lifted and shouldered hundred Kilograms of weight on their shoulders without any problem at all.âIt seems that there were quite an array of items these timeâŠ.I can see that there wer
Spectating the worker moving the crates and boxes at the Teleport Zone, does not takes us very long, after about 40 minutes as the items started to dwindled visibly, all of us are heading back to the Presidential Mansion. Along the way, I can see that New City has started the changes that I have planned before I went back to Earth, at that time, my order is to reorganized the entire city so that It can accommodate the designed for the new looks as soon as I brought over the new plans. Not that a lot that has been changed, rather as per my instructions the roads has been enlarge, so does the sidewalks, on top of that, several buildings has been demolished to make some space.âHowâs the rearrangement of the city has been going?âŠis the entire New City has been completed as I asked?..â.Inside the car, seeing the visible changes as we passed by the Governmental District heading towards the Central District, I can visibly sees that for these part, mostly the part where the car passes, it i
âOh yeah!âŠI forgot about thatâŠwith Alfred around, I doubt that such things would an issued at allâŠâ.âThat is natural, My lord..HohohoâŠafter you went awayâŠI canât just bring myself to muddled around in the mansionâŠaside from taking care of Her highness Princess YgdrasilâŠthese old man has nothing to doâŠso why not I give out a little assistance to your highness visionâŠand surely seeing you these delightedâŠHohoho~..my time is simply well spentâŠâ.(Alfred Monticello)I forgot that I have an Arch Lich as my own butler, he actually find something useful to do with his abundance of Magic and also his horde of undead skeletons. With an expert in necromancy in Aeternum, instead of using it just to cause massacre, using the tireless and hunger less skeleton for constructions and labour is another way of correctly using an gifted magical ability.â...But..is it okay?âŠI meanâŠyou showing your power in the open these whole 2 monthsâŠwouldnât our people have some complaint?..â.No matter where it is t
Arriving at The Presidential Mansion, the entire mansion were in a festive atmosphere. All the Mansion staffs, the maids and all the butlers and Knights were happy to see their lord coming home after a long time. Not to mention all the Maiden members were also here celebrating my arrival, the only person that I canât see in the midst of these celebratory moment Duchess Kolarova and also Yggdrasil. It was rather odd not to see both of them here. Seeing my rather inquisitive looks, Alfred were fast to take the cue.âSire, Duchess Kolarova has already went back to Kingdom of EloesaâŠshe were there to lead the Aeternum Navy as you ordered..recently the Sea Beast has been rather active in the surrounding area of the islandâŠso she was calledâŠâ. (Alfred Monticello)âIs that so?âŠI guess it canât be help..then again, itâs good that she were doing somethingâŠhaving her here all the time especially now..would be a headacheâŠhahaha..â.Officially although Duchess Kolarova is designated to be my futu
As I revealed the first design of the many that I brought, I presented to them the new looks of Aeternum capital city, New City future looks. These design were not only just a plain architect blueprint, but there were also the full sketch of how it looks when it were finished in both painting, and also the 3d model presentations videos. I spread the blueprint on my Study desk and then played the video presentation on my Desktop computer, or rather since my desktop screen has now been modified to have the Magic Technology in it. The 3d model were shown on a special display mechanism that were developed by Research and Development Department. It was a thing called Image Projections Device. Essentially it was a working holographic projections that were on another level.â.âŠDear meâŠ.these,âŠthese is so otherworldlyâŠ.so outstandingâŠ.soâŠbeautifulâŠâ. (Rafaela)Rafaela were the same as everyone, the Image Projections Device that showed the 3d model of the finished modified and beautify New Cit
The way Alfred put his words, is rather straight forward ominous.I know that in these world it just worked the same as Earth, whenever you got some plans there will be some people that would always try to object it. What assuring to me is that all the Aeternum government were together in everything that it does, and when it comes to my command for them, they always put it above anything else, perhaps even more important than their lives. I am sure that those that were providing resistance and tried to exploit the plans were clearly those that were not Aeternums.In New City, 20% of itâs populations, were all non-Aeternums. And of that 20% half of it were all wealthy class of people, be it merchant or nobles from outside the country. And these people is naturally self centered and self privileges, that think themselves higher than anyone around them, and these richest people were the one that mostly have some ownership of buildings and assets. They thought that their privileges on thei
It was great to hear that the order that I have given for remodeling the City somehow producing an even larger positive chain of event that contribute to the safety of Aeternum. As we set aside the good news, I continues to explained about the new design, and what everyone supposed to do now that I am here and ready to move Aeternum forward. For now, the plan was to first fully completed the New City make over as soon as possible, therefore everything need to be planned perfectly. All because these project were not like any other constructions that Fantasma has ever seen.âSince the road and the sidewalks to all the roads in New City has been completedâŠthese will made us proceed even fasterâŠAndrea, how can the road be constructed as the design?âŠâ.âThe roads is already fully doneâŠthen I supposed we can now focused on beautifying everythingâŠfrom the sidewalks and all the vegetation⊠We already had the Mana lamppost all manufacturedâŠso all there is left is the installationsâŠthere is no
âSoâŠâ Baroness Elise folded her arms. âAre you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?ââPrecisely,â Lionel said. âLook, my friendsâtradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?âThe Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. âDamn⊠I hate to admit it, but youâre right.âDuke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. âIt seems we have much to reconsider.âLionel smirked. âThatâs the first step to success. Now⊠shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?âBy the time Angelaâs nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternumâs east, approached the group with a knowing smile. âAnd you should know, Duke Clarence,â she said smoothly, âthere is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.âShe produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolioâAeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. âBy the heavens⊠youâre making millions in mere months,â he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. âAnd it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.âBa
âThis railway is not merely a connection between nations,â Queen Angela declared, âbut a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.âPresident Mies added, âWith this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.âThe people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. âTheyâre building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!âA Golden Triangle merchant sneered. âTch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.âThey are modernizing too quickly,â he muttered. âSoon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.âHis advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.âAeternum is changing the continent,â he murmured. âAnd we are falling behind.âWith Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternumâs expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracksâit was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powersâit was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angelaâs citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternumâs technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clearâthis railway wasnât just for Aeternumâs benefit, but for Angelaâs prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
âAeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,â Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.âWe wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.âQueen Angela studied the map carefully. âSo, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternumâs mainland and its Wasteland territories?ââYes,â Minister Andrea confirmed. âWe will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.âPrincess Angelaâs eyes widened. âYou mean to tell me⊠youâre planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?âMies smirked. âThatâs exactly what weâre doing.ââThis will be the first of its kind,â Vice President Elijah added. âAnd it will set the foundation for global transportation.âThe Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the worldâAeternumâs mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the worldâs most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thingâfunding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternumâs archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancementsâit was all here.âAeternumâs funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,â she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.âWith access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.âBeside her, Professor Aldrichâone of Artemesiaâs leading scholarsânodded.âThe rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,â he said. âBut here? Here we can create the future.âAeternum had become the center of knowle
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternumâs growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexistâthat magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
Madeline, another single mother, found herself equally overwhelmedâbut for an entirely different reason. Back in the Empire, food was a luxury.If you were lucky, you had stale bread, old vegetables, or a tiny scrap of meat to share with your family. Shopping for food was never a choiceâyou simply took whatever was available and prayed that it would last.But in Aeternumâs markets, things were completely different.One afternoon, she stood frozen in the middle of a supermarket aisle, staring at the endless rows of fresh produce, canned goods, dairy products, and even exotic spices from other parts of the world.She could hardly comprehend what she was looking at.It wasnât just that there was food availableâit was the sheer abundance of it. She felt anxious. Lost. Uncertain.She turned to the store worker nearby, a cheerful young woman dressed in the green uniform of Haven Mart, the government-affiliated grocery chain."How⊠how do I know what to pick?" Madeline asked hesitantly.The
