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
Everyone inside the Grand General Meeting room were giving the Grand General their fullest attention. After all, it has been quite some time for the entire Military to move in a single grand operations and on top of that the President himself will take part of it. The last time they did it was only ended in a disappointing of being back stab at the end of the entire campaign. Still after hearing that this time operation is only will be focusing on the Aeternum itself, everyone were pumped up to participate. After all, the operations that were leads by the President and also the Grand General herself is always exciting and potentially dangerous. For the warriors and knights in Aeternum Military, it was an honorable feat to participates on a the hardest and greatest battles.“Operation Full Sweep…the first phase of the operations..is to fully contain the Wild Monster populations…as we all know..the Researchers and the Scientist has already mapped out all the Monster dens and habitat al
No matter what world it is, people are still and will acted like a people always do. Which Is acted on their best interest, although Aeternum is different, it will all boils down to the individuals. And for the soldiers sure they would fight but at the end they also need some compensations for their efforts. Thus Colonel Alessia Di Gianna inquiries might sounded a little disloyal, but she is actually voicing what everyone in the room had think at some point of the meeting. So rather than just keep the thought hidden deep in their mind and latter turned into some mess, it was better to voiced it out early and get the answers fast. Thanks to her, everyone doubts has been cleared and finally the meeting can proceeds without any interference.“The Operation Full Sweep, will not just stop at culling the wild monster numbers and managing the safety of the wilds…but we will also be destroying dungeons..all over Aeternum…”. (Grand General Bina)When everyone head that they will be destroying
No one really will complaint of anything, even if the President told them to do the operations today. Because Aeternum military were taught and shaped from the start to be a perfect soldiers, In fact, should the soldier to be told to be in active duty at moment noticed they would all be ready. Thus in the meeting no one said anything to counter the president order, naturally the time line that the Grand General Bina has set, is something that she herself has decided. To her, she sees these kind of operations should not be delayed at all nor be pushed back or anything. Truth to be told, for Bina the military had barely have any work for themselves after the civil war in Hallerus.The entire Aeternum Military at these time only dived into training and dungeon diving most of the time and does not acted on any presidential order. To Bina who is the President most loyal aide and also the Aeternum Minister, such things is rather a depressing time for her. Thus when the president made a spec
After Governess Countess Jelina proactive moves, the meetings naturally continues in a smooths manners. Everyone has been made clear of their duties and also what they should done in the next few days. Also the meeting has unanimously agreed that tomorrow will be the starts of the Operation Full Sweep, which is started with the First phase, which is for the entire Army branch to completely fortified the Aeternum Border, and then prepared for the assault on the Wild monster dens and also the dungeons that has already been marked to be attack and involved in the cleaning up list. The operation will starts after 3 days from tomorrow, given the entire Army to have 3 days of preparations.Which for General Lucas, it is enough time to prepare everything. Like always, the Army will always make the first moves, and also the one that will be supporting the Army is the Air Force, with General Eliza and her branch will be the support, as not only the eyes of the air and also delivering air to gr
Starting from the Friday of last week I have been rather quite busy all the time. Since I have started to bring all the stuffs that I have in the warehouse over to Fantasma, my schedule has always started in the early morning at 6 am. I focused on everyday in Aeternum, I brought the stuff over in the morning and then went ahead and worked at the Black House for the entire day. Whilst the Resource Department, who’s now has been turned into a Ministry all working hard to moved all the items that brought. In the meant time I worked in my office for Aeternum, surprisingly ever since my speech were aired in the News on the radio. There were quite a lot of reactions from a lot of sides.For the Aeternums, the reactions is welcoming. All of Aeternum citizen were wholeheartedly stood behind me and supported every single plans that I devised and they were also the one that actually actively seeking out to find out even more about the entire projects and what they can do to help the country. Wh
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
