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
In the brisk of morning, the hopeful views of the Inhabour City that were still under constructions were looking glorious and it was the land of hope, that would soon not only contributed to the advance of Aeternums as a country and perhaps the city that would revolutionize the future of water ways of the entire continent. Yesterday, the entire city were surprised with a great news that the President were here on the city to inspect and also visiting the area. Certainly the morale through out the entire city were high, everyone were happy to catch a glimpse of him, and knowing that their leaders and kings were not just simply sit idly on their throne but actually went down to worked together with them.“Did you hear, last night our supervisor told us that the President has decided to add more workforce onto the building of the Bridge… talking about a timely arrangements…crossing the river with that wobbly boats is quite hard everyday…”. (Town worker Ralph)“I heard right…the administr
On the Bridge and also everywhere in the Inhabour City, as all the workers and soldier that were on the site, all of them were shocked and astound at the previously empty finished docks, has now being filled with all kinds of large ships. And the most striking sight of all, is the 3 Warship that docks mighty and proud, and beside it, were numerous kinds of ships ranging from fast boats, ferries, and then the 3 largest cargo ships that no one in these world have ever sees. Some that have seen that Warship that were used in the Navies knows it, they called it the Mighty Iron Vessel. It is the Navy strongest ships that can went toe to toe with the strongest sea monster, even these far inland, the tales of the Warship Navy battles echoes.“It was like a mighty castle!….it Is much bigger than any ships that I have seen!…it was a floating land!!…”. (Construction workers A)“Dear god..these ships is even bigger than the building that we build….the president were the one that brought all thes
It was fascinating for them to see, these lines up of ships before them. And for sure they also recognized that I also a little bit pleased and delighted by the views of it, and since I know quite a lot than them about the ships, at the same time they also realizes that they Warship that were right in front of them are much more different that the one that is currently being used by the Navy. After all the previous ones is the ships that is of the old models and I just bought them, which were provided illegally. But these time the warship that I bought is of newer models, on top of that, it was bought somewhat legally and it comes with much more ordinance and much more high technology than the others, also it was a little bit taller and bigger.“Well…it is much bigger, faster and much more fiercer than you can ever think of…remember our old Warship…times that ship capability 10 times…”.“.……What?…is that possible?…of course it is, Since Master said so…still the old Warship is alread
Sofia, Radian and Selie once they heard my annunciation about the slight reveal about the New Warship firepower capability. All 3 of them were smiling slightly, now they really understood why I wanted to explore and exploit the Central Continent water way systems, why, it was to further strengthen Aeternum military capacity and bolsters it’s defense. After all, the River system inside of the Aeternum territory is very much unique and very strategically places. First the river were deep enough and also wide enough for all kind of ships to maneuver in all sides without any problems, second, Aeternum Rivers is actually flows throughout the entire nation. What is more that, Aeternum rivers were all connected, from the Agriculture City to the Border of Dukedom of Angela and also the Principality of light, then flow in a curve.I flows in a large curve that conveniently follows the Aeternum borders, from the Inhabour city it flows down, to cover the Entire Shark Region, then enters the Cent
Currently the intake of Refugees recently, has already finished and all of them have been placed and assigned to their designated places. Naturally since I have included in the clause of accepting them wanting to become a citizenship of Aeternum they have to complete the mandatory labour and also mandatory military services. But since Aeternum is pressed on labour shortage at the moment, I decided that all of them will first served in the labour forces first then military later, this suited my plans, after all currently the entire Aeternum military is undergoing a large scale domestic operation and also currently in the state of reorganizations as a lot of new implementation is currently being done, to further bettering the Military.As such, all the refugees has been placed on their work site, with Radian request then, I have to then discussed with Andrea to fulfill her request. Possibly I will have to pick the Agriculture Region site to pull a little bit labour from there and put it
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
