The cherry and soft spoken ones that greeted Captain Carmen Ildroun is, Captain Arwyl Maedrym, an Elf, and also a captain in the Aeternum Royal Military, Mage Division, she is what people say a usual image of an Elves, her long blonde hair were braided neatly, paired with the new, White and Blue uniform of the Mage Division it can be said any normal people can easily mistaken her as the Elves princes. Still underneath that cherry and warm person, she is a Peak Tier 3 Mage, and also nicknamed a ‘Blood Mace Wizard’ a title that she obtained after Joining the Hallerus Civil War and also the Alemia Nation Noble Uprising where she stood by the High General Bina and crushing the enemies skull with her mace and magic. Certainly a respectable figures in the bunch.“Seems like everyone is rather warm with each other these time around~…By the way..Blood Mace..my department just released a new line of blunt weapons..you should come and take a look at it though~..”. (Captain Lotch Hymnir)On the
One thing that people can visibly notice once they look and observed the Refugees that comes into the Aeternum Fortress, is that, their appearance is definitely not stating that every single Refugees here is actually a refugees, because for one, all of them were neatly dressed, and on top of that very clean and also presentable. To the foreigners that first lays eyes on the Refugees is that all of them is a rather well lived commoners. This one of the fact, that made Aeternum Refugees that stayed in the Refugee Camps have their own self worth and dignity. The reason as to why all of them looks presentable, is also thanks to Aeternum Refugees aid systems.As the teaching of Aeternum Temple that encourage donations, as the result is that, a lot of Aeternums has donated their clothing. Naturally, Aeternum made clothing items, is all high quality and fashionable and looked good. It is vastly different with the fashion and the qualities that all the Central Continent clothing. But at the s
Only Aeternum knows just how scary and also effective the government were. Why because there is almost nothing that the government doesn’t know. These fact is also why Aeternums never really goes into crimes, because the Aeternum government can easily finds ou about their hidden scheme. Little that everyone knows, it wasn’t because Aeternum Government employees were competent. But these is all possible thanks to Aeternum largest and most powerful Artificial Intelligence that oversees the entire Aeternums.Naturally such hidden things were never known to public. And the same hidden entity is naturally overseeing the entire immigration process from the start to finish. And each times a refugee, registered themselves into the database, from the retina scans, the thumbprint documentations. At that point, T.A.S systems already used a skill on them, More specifically, it the skills that is undetectable nor untraceable. A legendary Skills that were carbon copied by President Mies himself, Th
Inside The Refugees registration and Interview Main Building, shouts of relief and cries of happiness were a normal occasions through out the day. people who first went into the room as Refugees comes out as the citizen of Aeternum, they waved their approved papers in the air and jumps, some were hugging the papers as their most treasured items in the entire worlds. It’s to be said as the happiest moment for most Refugees here. But at the same time there were also a few that instead of coming of the Interview Room with happiness, instead the ran out for their lives. And every time such things happened the people here didn’t even bothered to look at them nor even cared. Because everyone knows that those that acted like that deserved it, also the Aeternum Immigration officer were not weak at all, on top of that the Police officers were also on the scene to handle everything.Unless the runaway was a Tier 4 Wizard or Knights, probably the people would be worried, but such amazing peoples
While on the border of Aeternum, the refugees were being moved and process as fast as they can, to further increased the expectancy of Aeternum sufficient labour during the full scale phase of the constructions. The other parts of Aeternum is also in a large motion of activities, and one of the many aspect that were being ramp up is that Research, Development and Health Ministry, especially, The Research and Development Department. On top of getting the new type of machinery of multiple array of industry productions. The amount of things that they have to do and achieve is a lot, furthermore not a single person in these department could ignore the recent order, because it was issued by the President Himself, and also the Minister of the ministry itself were present to ensure that everything were in place.“Director Bar…is the Sewing machine, and all the textile related machinery has all been done being turned into the Magic machine?..”. (Rafaela)Currently, Rafaela were as always doi
Aside from the bubbly and rather fiery atmosphere at the Research and Development Department, where all the workers is suddenly getting even more fired up thanks to their Minister visiting them and giving them their boost of energy. The Aeternum Royal Military is also does not fall behind at all, because they have been given a Presidential order to prepared the entire Military for an up and coming nationwide operation. Thanks to these, all the Aeternum Military figures has come to the Shark Region Northwest, or now more widely Known as Aeternum Royal Military Base.What once known as the Alemia Northern Region just a little bit of the top of the Shark Eastern City where Mayor Baron Renoa were designated to be. Now thanks to the new policy, the entire Eastern Shark Region has been influenced by Aeternum Royal Military, it was even dubbed as Aeternum, Royal Military Area, naturally the true region started after the Shark Eastern City, Nevertheless these cold snowy land has become rather
It was a little bit of an attractions to all the soldiers in the base, to be able to witnessed all of the higher ups from all of Aeternum Division were all in a single place together. On top of that all the Military Generals has their own fame, beauty and also their own famous tale. Every single one of them has accomplishment that all the soldiers dreams to achieved. In short such famed gathering does sparks a lot of interest to many. And for the soldiers who used to such things, especially the veteran soldiers, they were able to deduced what is about to come. And that is, a large scale operations, either it is war, or probably something else bigger.As all the invited generals arrived at the main building of the base. All of them were escorted directly to the Grand General meeting room, and just like they were informed before, The Grand General of the Aeternum Royal Military Army were already seated there waiting for them, as well as busy doing her own paperwork. As all of them enter
One thing about the society and also the culture of Fantasma residents, no matter what races and country the came from, one particular things that everyone loves and also good at usually, is fighting. And one thing in particular in agreement to any people in Fantasma is that fighting against and killing the monster is a good thing to do. Because by killing monsters, not only they will get the treasures, foods and all kind of benefits from it, it also will lessen the chance of more people ended up being killed by the beast that seemingly will never ever disappears from these world.On Earth, things like over hunting, and extinctions of a species is something that can and will happened when a species were hunted time and time again. But such concept does not applies in Fantasma at all. Fantasma is a fantasy world, that always finds it’s way to preserved any species, aside those that gained it’s sentience. For example, a monster or a wild beast will never really goes extinct if they were
A trusted royal scribe—a man who had served the palace for over a decade—was found dead before sunrise. A dagger coated in poison was discovered strapped to his leg. The second attempt followed soon after.A servant carrying tea for the Queen was intercepted before she could enter the throne room. Hidden beneath the silver tray was a vial of deadroot extract, a lethal poison. The servant, after interrogation, confessed that her family had been taken hostage by nobles who ordered the hit.Then came the third, fourth, and fifth attempts. Archers on rooftops. Explosives set along the Queen’s carriage route. Blades hidden in the folds of a courtier’s robes.Each time, the assassins failed. Each time, they disappeared without a trace. Helen knew who was behind it. But rather than show fear, she faced the storm head-on.Seated in her war room, Helen traced her fingers along a map of Hallerus, where red ink circled enemy strongholds. Duke Merrica stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp eyes
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
