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
After 30 Minutes of drive from the Inhabour City site, entering the roads heading northwest, we finally arrived at Aeternum Second City, and looking at the way that it has been looking at the moment, it can be said that, Shark Central City can be said as Aeternum second largest city which is following the footsteps of the New City. It was build on the old city that were once under the Monty Family governance under the Alemia Nation, which was once an old and average the same as any other developing city in Fantasma. But under my direct order, the City were being relief of the Monty Family as I have given them another plot of land at the east Shark Region and then , let the City to become the Central Shark City, that is fully owned By the Royal family, which is me. And can only be govern by the elected Governors.I solved the dispute of the land and the city, on top of that settling the issue of other possibly incoming problems. On thing that I hated the most and possibly the easiest m
In the Central Shark City, following the recent National project that were put forward from the President for the entire country to accept and worked on together. Shark Region has gotten itself quite an overhaul for their entire region itself. Thankfully, the North and the south were handled by the Central Government Ministry and the Military itself, will the West region, which is now known as the Residential Region is handled by the Resource Ministry and the Monti Family. Made the work in store for the Governor office a little bit light, but still she had to ensure the entire region were up to standard and also the border were well taken care off. At the moment, the only concerned that the governor office had to take very seriously is the Central Shark City, the borders and also the surrounding areas, including the villages and towns.Still that was quite a lot, of what is on her plate. Still everything were manageable by Jelina, after all, a large responsibility is another way of th
I am currently together with Jelina and her daughter Genevieve, instead of just viewing the constructions site that is currently bustling with works and also a palpable tension of nervousness coming from the workers as they sees that I am right before their eyes. I have Jelina and her daughter to brought me along and guided me as we walked through the Central Shark City. I wanted to see how the change of the city has come along, right now, I know for a fact that after the City were under Jelina ruling it has changed quite a lot, it went from a Medieval average small city to a progressive and modern city like New City.As we were walking around, the city, Jelina slowly explained to me, what changed has she implemented and her future plans of the city. She said that her aim was to made Central Shark City the second hub of Aeternum, and wanting to further strengthen the city current status as the city that is an entrance to Aeternum. Which is true, a lot of people, be it merchants, adven
I realized something after going on a tour through the Central Shark City with Jelina and Genevieve. That is, no one other than these noble family that shares my vision as the city as they were. She is a governor of an entire region, yet, she does not neglected these city that were called as the center of that region at all, instead under her careful planning she had slowly build it up to standard. And now she are even more motivated to see her city become more successful than any other city in Central Continent. On top of it, she is also a vassal, that already swears and oath to Elijah to forever follow her, meaning that she is the loyal vassal to also me.I know for certain that amongst all the Aeternum nobles and those that were in power in the Shark region. Jelina family were the only one that has a confirmed loyalty towards me. And also the best candidate to make sure that they city will not fall to any one else control. At first, I wanted to make the Central Shark City and perha
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
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
