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
Today I will be transporting the last remaining stuffs that I will brought over and that is the cars, buses, lorries and the military land vehicles that were all parked at the parking lot facing the small docks filled with the navy ships, and also some tools for the vehicle repairs and power tools. After these it will be only the Ships left then finally I will be able to see these majestic vessel in the Fantasma world. Quite excited actually to see that odd scenery of modern warship in the land of Medieval times, I am sure that when they see it they eyeball will bulged like in the cartoons.“Sir, how was today filming?…I heard that you were brought to a camping sites with all the other cast…looks like the next week filming will be about camping…”. (Butler Bang)“Today is pretty good I guess…the director said that my no reactions on the show is actually what made people wanted to see the show and actually heighten the shows rating for the last few episodes…I think that the next episode
One thing that I realizes after several observations living inside the Medieval magical fantasy world, is that their sense of luxury concept when it comes stuff likes vehicles, is that how big it is. To Fantasma community, cars like Lambo sports cars, that were hot on Earth, in Fantasma it was seen as a cheap and inconvenient cars that no one would even bothers to looked at. Instead all of them were more favour the likes of 4x4 cars or jeeps and large vans, these were seen as a truly expensive cars, because the interior were large and spacious enough for them. After I think about it, it made sense, because the people here used to carriages, and also, they always want to travel in a large groups.For example, a noble lady from a prominent family will always travels with a group of 4 or more, never less than 4. a lady will need her personal maid with her, then her Knights that usually comes in pairs, then her luggage attendance and then the driver. Such company, is they only ways that
After seeing just how pleased Andrea with the car that I brought, for her and also the others. I decided to drive the car together with her as we were leaving the Teleport Zone, I mean, why not take these time to loosen up a little bit and also spend time with her. She is definitely were enjoying the ride and also admiring the interior of the car as we both were the only one that were in it. Sasu and the other Secret Service agents were trailing behind us, naturally. Actually I didn’t brought to many of the Royce model cars with me, for the Royals Phantom type I only brought just 7 with me. And all of it were brand new after all, it was enough for me and the 5 Sister, each using one for themselves, one is for me and the last one is for Yggdrasil when she wanted to goes around the city or go anywhere.I learned recently that Yggdrasil is actually loved to roam around in the city. And unlike before she can now stay a lot longer in her physical form, Elijah said that her condition is a
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
