Since everything has already being set up, I wanted the Inhabour City to be constructed as soon as we can. Because that place will be Aeternum industrial zone and also the hub of water transportation. If Aeternum would want to start moving large amount of cargo and people all over the Central Continent and Fantasma, these place has to be operational as soon as it can. The second Mega development project that Aeternum will undertake is the Inhabour City.“So, Basically…the Inhabour City will be Aeternum place of factories and also the inland harbour?…then, we are really going to use the inland river of the Central continent after all,…is that okay?…I mean…we all know that the Rivers does hides some of the most threatening monsters…Right?…”. (Bina)“That’s right, Master..the water monster are far more unknown than those that we usually meet that were on the land…and often times they were much more stronger too…Sure, there were just a few cases of monster that reside on the rivers comes
Like anyone can tell, Aeternum is by no means the same as any other country that is exist in Fantasma nor on Earth. It was a country that unique on it’s own, it was a government that combined several ideology and types of governing. While it is a monarchy, it also have the militaristic and also democracy style of governance. I created these style of governance, to suit the current era of Fantasma, and also to ensure that no matter what my rules will not be in jeopardy ever. It was a style of governance that I hope will last forever, and will stayed relevant for as long as these country stands.Therefore, logically, I can just tell Elijah and the others to just do their works and followed my order as I stated for, also, for those civilians that were against my order I can just have their heads removed from their body. But no, I didn’t want to do that, I wanted to make Aeternum a place where everyone can lived together to their fullest. It was a place that I hope will be the beacon of h
“For now, I want us all to concentrate on these 2 plans…it will take a few days, before I brought everything back from the other side…until then, let’s hold the Nation wide meeting first…”.“I understand, Master…then, I will make sure that our focus were on these project first…A lot of people has been rather anxious with our sudden silence as of late…but with you back here again…I am sure that everything will settled down…”. (Elijah)I have been away for quite sometime already, it was natural that there were a lot of people were anxious, both those that were in Aeternum and even those that were Aeternum neighbour. At these moment, for T.A.S as soon as we set foot in Fantasma, he already went to access the Database here, hearing that he haven’t said a single thing to me until now, I am sure that there were a lot of backlog on everything that need to be handled as soon as we can.“We are not that silent…For Governor Jelina and Governor Aqeesha, those 2 were just anxious since we haven’t
I don’t overstayed my stays here at the Presidential Mansion, after revealing all the designed plans and delegates the task. I head back to the Teleport Zone, I don’t want to waste the times I can move back and forth from Earth to Fantasma. After all, my Skill of [Teleport] is basically only enable me to use it just 2 times in a day. Moving to Fantasma is one time and back to Earth is one more time. If I want to brought everything as fast as possible, then, it was crucial for me to optimized everything.With my plans getting a rather warm reactions, I been feeling pumped up. I can’t wait to get it started, but then again I need everything on to Fantasma, before I can settled down and be on board with every single steps. Fantasma right now, is just in the middle of spring months, quite a suitable seasons and times for developments. With everything is perfectly aligned for Aeternum times to developed, to those that were on the same positions as me, these was the best time to make the co
Elijah and the others watched as their President who’s appeared after a long time away, then just suddenly vanished in a blink of an eye. Even until now, no one can explain nor even know where he had gone or how he just simply vanished into a thin air like that be fore their eyes.“No matter how many time I see that scene…I never got used to it…our master brought calmness and stability when he was here, and when he gone..I can;t help but get worried all the time…”. (Bina)“Typical, Master…even me can’t still figure out how he disappeared and appeared…it was an unknown phenomenon…and I am completely sure that there is no magic involved at all…”. (Rafaela)The sisters is finally able to breathed a sigh of relief, after seeing their Master that just now leave once again, in a healthy and fine conditions. These was always happening to them, no matter how strong they were, one thing that always stayed the same, is that they always leaned on him.“His Highness magnificent…is just otherworld
Nobody knows what is happening last night in the secluded area of the most important place in Aeternum. The Morning in Fantasma comes naturally, and In Aeternum, unlike the many other country in Central Continent, For Aeternums their morning did not start when the suns were about to go up, instead the started their morning at 5 in the morning, quite early to be said. But In Aeternum is was a common knowledge that for some people if you wake up later than 5, it was already too late, in the Commercial district, stall owners, in the market, the market workers, butchers and vegetable hawkers already started their days.The morning shifts police and the Government employees already comes out of their homes and started to flock on the side streets, enjoying their morning communes, some opted to take a cab, some waited for the buses, some rode their own cars, and a lot of them were just taking their times walking. The start of the day, revealed just how prosperous New City were, and just how
The community inside New City, compared to the other cities all over Central Continent, is that, it is very tight knit. Moreover for the people that lived and worked in harmony together. Due to so many races lived together, everyone mostly friendly with each others, all thanks to the prosperity of Aeternum itself. Everyone cared about their neighbour and friends, rarely there’s an occasion of separation in the community or even large dispute. So when a sudden movement of a large group of people just suddenly happened, there were a lot people that would take notice about it.The discussion between Old Corg, Jared and Madame Betty weren’t just happened in the New City Wet Market, in fact all over the city, the same thing were being talked and discussed about. And from these discussion, everyone comes to the same conclusion, that is, the one that made a splash last night is all related to the Resource Department. Which is the second large Ministry in Aeternum government, not only it was
Right when the clock pointed at 6 o’clock sharp, the famous Aeternum Radio were on, live on air. Compared to Earth, Aeternum Radio broadcast is not a 24 hours broadcast, instead, the radio show starts at 6 in the morning and ended at 2 in the morning every single day. The concept of all day broadcasting is not yet mainstream nor being practiced in Aeternum, after all, for Aeternums, usually, everyone went to sleep and rest at 12 in the midnight. It was also, being stated by Aeternum Vice President, that at night, the essential people that were on task, need to focused on their task first, instead of looking for entertainment, these decision were supported by the Royal Cabinet too.No one really complained about the radio broadcasting time, after all, it was something that were considered normal after it has been practised as such since it was first starting it’s operations. Nevertheless, today to many Aeternum the first news of the day, is something that a lot of Aeternum been eager t
Aeternum had taught her a valuable lesson—control is not about force, but manipulation. So, she would make them turn on each other.Helen began summoning the nobles one by one, speaking to them in private meetings. She whispered honeyed words into their ears.“Viscount Talis, I need a reliable man. Duke Rehn is plotting against me, and I require your loyalty.”“Countess Ferros, your influence is invaluable. I fear Duke Rehn is siphoning funds, and I need someone I trust to investigate.”“Duke Rehn, the other nobles are moving against you. You must act swiftly before they remove you from power.”With every meeting, seeds of distrust were sown.The nobles—drunk on greed—were too blind to see that they were being played.And so, one by one, they began to conspire against each other.As the nobles scrambled to destroy each other, Helen’s true loyalists made their move.Under the cover of darkness, handpicked assassins carried out eliminations with precision.Duke Rehn?Found dead in his s
“Then Mies will destroy Hallerus.”Helen turned sharply toward him. “You think he would go that far?”Merrica didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”Helen stared at him, searching for a lie. A hint of hesitation. But there was none.“He will not give you mercy a second time, Helen,” Merrica said. “If those nobles push for war, if they even dare to challenge Aeternum—you will lose.”He took another step forward, his voice heavy. “And I will not be able to protect you.”For the first time in their conversation, Helen looked away. Merrica saw it. The fear. The realization.She already knew everything he was saying was true. She had just been too proud—too trapped—to admit it.Silence hung between them. Then, at last, Helen spoke.“…What do you want me to do?”Merrica finally allowed himself a small sigh of relief.“You already know what must be done, Helen,” he said gently. “You must take back your court.”Helen slowly nodded, though her expression remained grim. “Those nobles will not leave peace
“Merrica understands that if Hallerus moves against Aeternum, we won’t hold back.”Kasuma gave a knowing smirk. “And you won’t hesitate to destroy them.”I met her gaze, unblinking.“No.”A heavy silence fell between us.Kasuma leaned forward, her voice softer but firm. “You don’t want war with Hallerus.”“No, I don’t,” I admitted. “The people of Hallerus don’t deserve to suffer for their queen’s mistakes. Merrica doesn’t deserve to be put in that position.”Kasuma studied me for a moment before sighing. “Then let’s hope Duke Merrica succeeds.”I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts swirling. Visma was controlled. Chaos was their prison, and we held the keys. Hallerus, however, was different.It was once an ally, a friend, a brother. But betrayal had shattered that bond. Still… I didn’t want to be the one to crush it completely. I drummed my fingers on my desk. If Helen could be saved, then perhaps—A knock interrupted my thoughts.“Enter,” I called.An ACIA officer stepped in, bowi
The Merchant Guild Leader, Darvio Vinn, who had profited the most from blocking Aeternum trade. His warehouses stored inferior goods at premium prices, keeping the economy strangled in his grip.The General of the Royal Army, Lionel Ferin, who had bled the treasury dry with excessive military spending, preaching about “independence” while weakening their forces with outdated tactics.They had to be removed. One by one, quietly, without causing suspicion. But how? Merrica could not simply accuse them—Helen trusted them. If he moved too boldly, she would see him as the enemy.No, he had to be careful. He had to play the game. Merrica stood, pouring himself another glass of wine. He would begin by exposing the corruption—turning the people against the parasites that fed on Hallerus.The merchants would learn how Darvio Vinn had been overpricing basic goods. The military officers would see how General Lionel Ferin had been wasting funds on obsolete strategies. The court would hear whisper
At a local tavern, I overheard a group of soldiers drunkenly complaining."Our weapons are old.""Our rations taste like pig slop.""Did you hear? Even Alemia is receiving Aeternum goods now.""We should have never broken ties."I smirked. They knew. Their queen had failed them, and their nation was falling behind while the rest of the world thrived under Aeternum’s soft power. The people of Hallerus were not fools. They saw the rising prosperity of the allied nations, the luxurious goods, the technological marvels, the entertainment, the food. They could only watch in envy.At sunset, I met with Duke Merrica Murrs at his estate. His once-proud posture had been replaced with exhaustion. His eyes, which once held confidence, now carried deep regret.We sat in his grand study, the silence stretching between us. Finally, he spoke."I should have stopped her."I said nothing."I vouched for her. I believed in her." He exhaled, shaking his head. "And now, my people suffer because of my mis
Meanwhile, in Yulga, Maria sat comfortably in her study, reading the latest reports.Lysander stood beside her, amused. "Another assassin failed. This is getting predictable."Maria smirked. "Vismal thinks he’s playing chess, but he’s only moving pawns."She set down her glass, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let him keep trying. Let him think he has control.""And when he finally realizes he doesn’t?" Lysander asked.Maria leaned back, exhaling softly. "By then, he won’t be king anymore."While King Vismal wasted his energy plotting assassinations, he failed to see the true danger.His nobles squabbled over the black market. His people secretly craved Aeternum goods. His own soldiers whispered of defecting.Visma was rotting from the inside out. And Maria? She simply watched it happen. She wasn’t just controlling the black market. She was controlling Visma’s fate. One failed assassination at a time.King Vismal III believed he could eliminate Maria Yulga. He believed he could take
"Oi, you got the stuff?""Yeah, yeah, keep it down!"A merchant nervously looked around before handing over a carefully wrapped package."This is the good stuff—straight from Aeternum. Papa Pizza’s special cheese blend. Got it from a merchant who knows a guy who knows a guy."The buyer, a Visma noble in disguise, snatched it eagerly."Finally! I’ve been dying to try this! You have no idea how boring Visma’s food is compared to Aeternum’s cuisine!""Yeah, yeah, pay up first.""Fine, fine—how much?""Two hundred gold pieces."The noble nearly choked. "T-Two hundred?! That’s robbery!"The merchant smirked. "And yet, you’re still going to pay it, aren’t you?"The noble gritted his teeth, but handed over the money anyway. Aeternum’s products were so desirable that people were willing to spend fortunes just to get a taste.And that was exactly what ACIA wanted. By controlling the underground economy, Aeternum achieved multiple goals:Economic Control – Even though Visma banned Aeternum’s pr
The people were asking too many questions. The smugglers were getting bolder. Even their own guards and soldiers were caught listening to Aeternum’s broadcasts in secret. A revolution wasn’t just coming—it was being broadcast live.In an attempt to regain control, the non-allied nations did the only thing they knew how to do—They cracked down. Massive raids were conducted in the dead of night. Entire villages were searched. Merchants were arrested. Radios were smashed in public squares.But no matter how many products they confiscated, no matter how many smugglers they punished, it didn’t stop. Aeternum’s influence was already too deep. The people had tasted the forbidden fruit—and they weren’t about to let go of it.What made matters worse was that not everyone in power was loyal to the cause. Behind closed doors, even high-ranking nobles were secretly buying Aeternum’s products for themselves. Some were sneaking off to allied territories under the guise of “diplomatic visits” just s
Aeternum had always been known for its technological marvels and superior products, but with easy transportation, its goods became more accessible than ever before.From freshly preserved gourmet food to luxurious household items, Aeternum’s influence began to seep into every aspect of daily life across the continent. And the people? They loved it. Why eat old, stale bread when you could have Aeternum’s fresh-baked soft rolls that lasted for weeks without losing their taste?Why wear itchy, poorly-made foreign garments when you could buy Aeternum’s finely woven, stain-resistant fabrics? Even Aeternum’s entertainment industry was making waves. With their crystal-powered moving pictures, stories from Aeternum began flooding into neighboring lands, captivating audiences with rich tales of adventure, romance, and heroism.It wasn’t just about selling goods anymore. Aeternum was selling a way of life. And everyone wanted in.But not everyone was pleased. The non-allied nations watched in d
