I am Currently at the Black House inside my Presidential Office, compared to the work that I have before, recently after conference, thanks to it, I have to work for another day. Personally in my opinion the meeting were a successful ones, be it on the display side or the relationship side, so I am quite satisfied with the overall result. What even made me extremely happy is that thanks to that meetings, all the allied nation has unintentionally revolved around Aeternum for every single thing that they asked for. Also, clearly the display of Aeternum Navy might has made all of them think carefully.Thanks to these meeting, Aeternum has become a fully acknowledge power to all of them. I enjoyed the looks on their faces when I told the that Aeternum has basically secured the entire water routes in my country. And when they saw the snippet of that actions, they immediately fold, from then on, all of them knew and already learned that from now on, they could never again think of anything
After a few hours of business at the Black House, dealing with everything that I supposed to do and approved before I set off to the Wasteland tomorrow, with Yvone. It can be said that it was great, each hours the Black House received reports from all the Associations troops that were sent out to all the allied nation, saying that they have arrived safely and already started on the constructions of the Association base on their designated locations. And at the same time, the Guilds elimination task force also has gotten connections with the Allied nation Royal Palace and already make a moves against all the Guilds that were existed on those country.Though it was only on day one of the operation, the Associations Troops already over performed themselves ahead of the scheduled. Truthfully, I have never asked or gave them any sort of indications or scheduled for them to proceed as they arrived at their destinations, all of those kind of things I delegated them to the Leader of the Troop
As the Adventurer Association have Claire Valkary on it’s helm, for the Mercenary Association on the other hand, it has the stout and also famed Orthum Bronzehammer as it’s Head Director, one of the famous hero of the Dwarven races of these times. Orthum Bronzehammer, is actually one of the first generation liberated slaves that were brought to Aeternum by me. At that time, no knows about his tales. According to his story he is actually apart of a resistance organization that went around the Central Continent, with the band of his brothers, moved from place to place to liberated oppressed slaves from tyrannical rulers.His campaign is quite successful at that times, that he managed to become a wanted person on over 20 countries at that time. Sadly on one occasions, he and his band of brothers were entrapped in a scheme of betrayal, of which destroyed his resistance groups, made him cast away his identity and finally being captured as a war slaves, of which coincidentally were bought
As for the Merchant Association, the appointment of the positions of the Head Director, to me is quite hard to find the candidates at first. Compared to the 2 Association Head Directors that were quite famous already in their field, I was having a hard time to find the correct candidates, to the point where it actually took me 2 days to deals with it. Surprisingly, the candidates that are now already appointed to the positions were actually being recommended by 2 rare figures in Aeternum, one is Aeternum loveliest daughter Yggdrasil and another one is Aeternum hidden guardian, The Earth Ancient Dragon that resides at the New City Mountain parks, Griksu’um.As I were slaving away in my office finding a suitable candidates, Griksu’Um visited my office with Yggdrasil and a Dragon-kin behind his back. Although he can just transformed himself into a humanoid form, the Ancient Dragon decided to just come to the Black House in his original form, which actually created chaos on that day. Luck
Meanwhile, at the Nirewin City, which is the capital city of Kingdom of Nirewin, today was a great day for the City of the Half-Elves, not only the forest were calm and tranquil, Today is also the day, when Aeternum large convoy were also scheduled to arrived. Right after the International Alliance Conference ended, on that day, the Aeternum Airship comes to their city, which shocked everyone because here in the Nirewin City or even the entire of the Kingdom of Nirewin, they have never saw an Airship before they might heard about it, but never witnessed it before. The People of Nirewin were now in their better days after their Royals decided to be allied with Aeternum a year ago.Since then, their Entire Kingdom has stopped getting harassed by the Alemia Nation forces. They also saw a significant reduced of slave hunters in their territory, being a Kingdom filled with Half-Elves and Wood Elves, they are constantly being harassed by the Slaves Hunters that after the populations of the
The Arrival of Aeternum Airship fleet, weren’t just attracted many attentions from the Allies citizens but it also attracted the attention of all sides, especially those that were clearly already starting go against Aeternum motives and also the Alliance. In the Angel City, the Capital City to Dukedom of Angela, ever since the Queen Duchess and Crown Princess has come back from the Alliance Conference, there has been a lot of murmur going on inside of the Dukedom Royal Court. Which is something that the Queen Duchess has already expected already, because thanks to the Dukedom of Angela which is now official entered the International Alliance Conference, thing are about to get very serious in the Dukedom of Angela.“YOUR HIGHNESS QUEEN DUCHESS!!…look, we don’t mind that you have decided to sided and joined the Alliance…but to joint and also permitted their shaky associations to be able to established their power here…that is something that is unacceptable to many of us!…”.(Baron Reinol
Guild Master Niva were in glee as he were able to always squirm his words and made it looks like the Queen Duchess were someone who is replying a good deeds with poison in front of the whole court. The Guilds actually has received a reminder from the Triangle Guilds to make them prepared for these days, after all, the Broadcast of the Conference were free for anyone to see them live. Thus they knew that Aeternum Association would come after all of them at some point, for the Free Nation of Triangle Guild, they didn’t care about the minor kingdom. But losing the support and ground in the Big 3, that is something that they can’t afford to lose at all.Especially for the Dukedom of Angela and also the Institute of Artemesia, because these 2 country not only one of their biggest market, it was also bordering with the Free Nation of Triangle Guilds. No matter what, they must not lose these grounds to the Association at all, thus before coming here, all 3 of the guilds who sense the impendi
The looks of confidence on the faces of all the Guild masters that were smug all these times crumbles in an instant. So does the entire Court were shocked by these kind of development, they have never thought such things can happen at all. But as anyone wanted to speaks about it, the Royal Court massive doors were opened as several footsteps echoes through out the area. And the most striking amongst the people that were walking in, were a female, for those that didn’t know who she is, they would called her a little girl immediately. But no one in the Court dared to called her as such or they were even capable to do so. Because with her arrival, the entire hall were instantly filled with a deadly and ghastly killing Aura, to the point, even the strongest person in the Court felt as if there were a scythe of the reaper were inches away from their throats.The footsteps of these 4 person reverberated throughout the entire court, and their overbearing aura glued everyone on where they sto
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
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
