“Then, Master..what about the Doll of Hatred?…why would we need them so much and why does it essentials to us?…as far as I know…Doll of Hatred, is nothing more than a mere Tier 1 Monsters…on top of it being used a toys for the children…but only then, It were only the intact one, were able to be turned into a profits….while 90% of the time, Doll of Hatred were all just broken up toys that is useless…”. (Radian)“Well…we need the monsters…not because it was a toys that can be sold…but rather we need them for something else..”.Doll of Hatred, like Radian have said, it a lowly Tier 1 monsters, not really a threat to any mercenaries, Adventurer and definitely not to any of Aeternum soldiers. Like their name, Doll of Hatred is nothing more than a mere toys and dolls, it was just that they were made by a vengeful spirits monsters. Doll of Hatred was known to inhibits a numbers of forest areas in the Great Southern Wasteland.“What do we need from them, Sire?…their Spirits?..sure, a vengeful
Essentially the values of being in a good relationship with the Great Southern Wasteland, is nothing short of being an enormous benefits for Aeternum. Thus everyone in the room now knows just how I viewed everything up until now. If Aeternum wants to be more developed and become the largest Mercantile influence on the Central Continent, We definitely have to be in a good long terms alliance with the Great Southern Wasteland inhabitants, and keep it that way for a a long time. Which coincidentally good for me, is that the rest of the Continent has viewed those that hails from that area, is nothing but undesirable bunch.“...There is definitely a lot of merits for Aeternum to have good relationship with the Great Southern Wasteland…Perhaps..our first correct moves…is to established a safe and secure lines of communications..and also most importantly a direct roads of transportation from Aeternum and the Great Southern Wasteland…”. (Sofia Di Gianna)“I am sure that Master and all the Min
All over Aeternum, the atmosphere of the entire nation has been quite active as of lately, as the Government and the President himself has announced to the public that the entire nation will be entering it self development period. Aeternums has spring to life, everyday Aeternum woke up in the morning and head to their work, the business has been kicking off rather great, despite the Aeternum were closed off to the other nation, it own internal economy has been rather more greater than before. Aeternum were known to only buy and used their local produce, and rarely they bought the outside produce. After all, when it comes to products no matter what it is, be it food or furniture, Aeternum made has always been the best in the market.The sight of bustling New City, has been nothing but a spectacular sight for many, especially those that comes from outside of Aeternum. Although Aeternum has closed their borders to a lot of people, but there were still foreigners that were permitted to en
These days for the Staff at the Royal Yggdra Cafe, they have been rather busy, since they were one the top cafe in the entire New City, naturally that have been so for the cafe. Little that many know, Royal Yggdra Cafe, is actually owned by the Aeternum Royal Palace. It was one of the many business that were owned by the Aeternum Royal Palace, and these Cafe in particular is quite famous because, it was frequently Visited by Princess Yggdrasil herself. At the same time, it was also a chosen spot for a lot of the foreign dignitaries to enjoy their time. Because the cafe were the only cafe that , while still in the Commercial District, it was placed at the very end of it. So it has a very scenic views that made it able to see, almost the entire New City sight, it was closer to the Aeternum River, facing the New City Grand Central Square & Park, then facing the Aeternum Grand Temple, and also facing the entrance to the Residential District, Central Government District and the Science and
The party from the Great Southern Wasteland were stunned as they looked behind them. When it comes to legitimacy and status, naturally they can’t compare to the long linage of royalty such as the House of Angela of the Dukedom of Angela, the most status that all 4 of them can be known as is just some average low ranks nobles. So they can’t help but be respectful of the Princess and her Aide. But what is more baffling to them, is the Little girl beside the Princess, who seems to be only about 9 or 10 years old, and the one that is behind the little girl. The lady behind her, is wearing the famous Black Suit with the Silver Gilded lining, it was a famous iconic attires that only the Aeternum Royal Guards or the Secret Service agent wears them.The little girl, is rather stunningly beautiful and cute, unlike any other child that they have ever seen before, chubby rosy cheeks, large green eyes and then her silvery hair that were cutely tied into a two buns. She is also wearing a very high
In Aeternum, seeing one of Aeternum Royalty is really not easy, seeing the President and the Minister is possible, but to be able to meet and see the Princess of the nation is something that only a few were able to see her. Why, because it was widely known that the President as well as all the Ministers loved her dearly, and she were also known to be sickly, although the president never once forbid her to do anything that she wants, she still received the love and educations that befitted a successor to the throne of Aeternum, despite not being named yet as the heir to Aeternum crown. These show to all people that, No matter what, Princess Yggdrasil position in Aeternum is really high.On top of all these, the Princess were also well known and loved by all Aeternums, because she is all over the Aeternum, sending helps and contributing to charity. There were also a few incidents where the Princess herself will be personally helping any citizens that were involved in some misfortune. In
As the time passes by, instead of being excluded from the table, Princess Yggdrasil invited everyone from the Great Southern Wasteland to join her on her table. Naturally the conversations were circled around the topic of their origins, after all, the Princess is rather inquisitive about it as she is clearly fascinated with their story and tales about the wonders of the foreign places. Over the course of time, everyone were getting more and more friendly with each others, Crown Princess Angela Seraphim, didn’t mind the company and even enjoying it, as she can see the cute Princess Yggdrasil, cute acts, and also converse with her old acquaintance.“..So, why do you sisters and brother wanted to meet with Father?..Mother Andrea, said that…our Country never made any contact with your place…is there something bad happening there?..”. (Princess Yggdrasil)Her voice were a little concerned, because in these brief of time, she felt pleased with the representative stories. But she remember of
Like they all were being unconsciously being brought and lead by their nose, the Great Southern Wasteland, who’s just now talking with the Princess Yggdrasil and also Crown Princess Angela Seraphim. Has now got, perhaps something that is much more than they have ever anticipated. Because right after their conversation with Princess Yggdrasil was over, and the princess already left the cafe. They were left, with one of the Princess guards, right where they stand.“It’s Miss Amalinde Stammler, Mister Qekin Rivgog, Miss Lobelia Mudswan and Mister Luth Alantar, correct?..”. (Princess Guard, Knight Mathild Hindergrass)“Ah..yes…yes, Dame Mathild..it was us..”. (Amalinde Stammler)Knight Mathild Hindergrass, is Princess Yggdrasil Head of guard, the entourage leader of the Secret Service unit that incharge of protecting Princess Yggdrasil, her rank is Captain. She were the kind of soldier that were proud of her duty, after all, her Knight values also felt that she deserved to be in such pos
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition 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?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s 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 Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum 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. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The 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. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. 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.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His 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.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it 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 powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s 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 clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s 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
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding 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 Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum 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 Aeternum’s 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 coexist—that 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
