I went off and tell the cabinets that I viewed the alliance in a good light, because to me, Aeternum need to not only become the beacon of hope and change in the wasteland, but it was also a profitable front for business ventures and quite possibly a game changing situations regarding Aeternum true expansion of region and territory, The Wasteland is a large expansion of lands, and what even better is that unlike Aeternum current positions that situated right in the middle of all other country, the Great Southern Wasteland only have a single side border that connected to the whole countries that were in the central continent.The land situations there is quite good, though sure, there is also the difficulties of planting and farming there because the land there is cursed to dry and infertile. So farming is something that is not possible at all, but on the other hand meat processing industries and perhaps manufacturing industries can be done there. Currently I don’t have any solid infor
The Cabinet meeting went on for a few more hours, after my annoucement that Aeternum will enters the alliance with the Great Southern Wasteland and will begin is planning phase for the forces that would be sent there, and on those that will be going there, I would also joined in and lead the deployments to the Wasteland, everyone wanted to go with me. And at the end, From the Military, the Eternal Nights Division, Colonel Alessia Di Gianna were chosen to joined me, and also Colonel Yvone which is also the Central Government Vice Minister will joined me on the Aeternum latest ventures.At first, Governess Jelina and Queen Aqeesha volunteered to join me, but their participation were axed because both of them have to oversees quite a heavy task. Beside both of their territory needs to be ready at all time, because they were involved in a big project of Aeternum Titan Thunderbolt main development progress. The meeting continues after 2 in the afternoon after lunch, on the contrary of eve
As the cabinet meeting ended at around 4 in the afternoon, instead of just headed back to the Palace, I made a trip to the Broadcast station. Since the Cabinet Meeting recording will be aired later these evening on the radio, there is some recording that needed to be cut off for some security and secretive measures. Especially about all the sensitive matters, for example the decision to venture into the wasteland. Since tomorrow will be the International Allied Conference, i don’t want the allied nation minds and thought to wander negatively because of Aeternum decisions to go into the wasteland. Knowing those country and their leaders, I know that once they caught wind of that, they will all wanted to joined in. After all, by now it was already established and believed strongly for them that anything that Aeternum seems to be adamant to have will bring nothing more than a mass positivity and also profits.“Hello, Paul…long time no see, my skeleton pal…you’re were looking good now…alb
Knowing the information about the ancient civilizations and also that there were relic, that can actually changed some of the things, isn’t really that crucial to me at these points. The information sounds tempting, but to be honest if only I got time then I would go out of my way to seek it, if not, then it was better to focused on my initial aimed. Learning that there is something else to do, when Aeternum has established the land in the wasteland, I left the Broadcast station and headed back to the Palace. After all, there is another major occasion tomorrow that I need to focused on.As the Motorcade slowly cruised down the road, we stopped by the Commercial District, since I were heading home anyway, Yggdrasil called me, saying that she wanted to eat Fired Cockatrice, the dishes that has become Aeternum famous dish. Since Fantasma, didn’t have chicken, there is a monster that can petrified anything with it’s skills, it was like a chicken on earth, but the different is that it was
When I arrived back to the palace and after quite a boisterous dinner, when Elijah who returned home only to sees Yggdrasil drown a whole buckets of AFC on her own. Elijah just instantly went into furious mood on Yggdrasil lecturing her for dozens of minutes and only stopped when the little one already cried her eyes out, and Rafaela and Mina can’t no longer bear to see the child crying. As for me, who is also one of Yggdrasil accomplice, I slowly vanished towards my study, with an excuse that I still have work to do.Yvone and Alessia arrived at the Palace around 8 in the evening, as the 2 of my right hand official were here. Under my order and as they already have the official appointment in the Aeternum Expansion Department, which a new Department that just being established in the Cabinet Meeting these afternoon, with me as the President is the Department Director. Both of them were listening to my order intently, both of them had no issue at all, hearing that I ordered for every
Aeternum Royal Military Academy, Is an academy that has focused solely to produce high quality soldiers and officers that would in the future be the high ranking official that would spear the Aeternum Military progress. It was also the academy and the only one that guaranteed free admission fee and studies fees and also guaranteed job positions as soon as the student were graduated. Naturally the job were all directly serving in Aeternum military, it was also the only academy in Aeternum that were 90% of it attended by Aeternum commoners and The only chosen learning institute for the Kingdom of Eloesa.Granted, due to the natures of the Academy, that teaches the arts of war and battles. The Academy always have it’s student to attend the practical practice, and it was always be joining the military operations. In fact, the tradition of the school that were already beyond my control is that when the student enters their first year in the academy, no matter what the age of the student is
It has been quite sometimes, after the entire Aeternum were let known about the nation mega project, and naturally each days they all sees what is currently being changed and made. But even so, they only know what is currently going on that were around them and in their own vicinity that they can see and heard off. They naturally didn’t know much about what is currently changing all over Aeternum. As the entire country is under changed. Because of that for many people the content of today Cabinet Meeting is important to them. As compared to what they were before, nowadays, as Aeternum they all felt like they are really apart of these nation.“[Reporting to the Cabinet members, as well as our all fellow Aeternum…These Tier 3 Meat Slime is a game changer for our high quality meat supplies…naturally it being considerably rare monster…is also the reason as to why our department haven’t managed to mass produce the meat yet…]”. (Vice Minister Bar @ Radio)All that were listening to the rad
As there were a lot of outsiders, foreigners that were getting lectured by Aeternums around them as they marveled at the Aeternum government announcing their important discussion over the public radio broadcast for everyone to hear. The warm hearted and learning session that can be seen all over Aeternum cannot be said the same to those that were outside of Aeternum. Instead to many of the nobility and rulers that pays a close attentions to the radio broadcast, a lot of them were ridiculing Aeternum simplicity to actually put such important government matter on public.A lot of which were ridiculing and laughing at Aeternum Cabinet Meetings, but there also a lot of people that were also leaning from Aeternum problem solving method and also not to mentioned that there were some that also conflicted and worried just how Aeternum has clearly become more and more prominent. As every single moves that Aeternum made has been nothing short of a consecutive success. One of those people is is
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
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
