At these point, everyone can see that the entire village, were already destroyed. There even barely even a semblance of the once village that they knew, everything were brought down to the ground, their mud huts were flattened out, their properties, be it foods, clothes or even their hunted pelt were all over the places, scattered and in shambles. Rather than standing on their village ground, where they are right now felt like the usual scenery that can be found all over the Wasteland. Even if they stayed here, can they even rebuilt what they have lost, with all of their fellow villagers starved and injured.For sure the answer were no, even if they were able to somehow get passed the monsters, they will succumb to starvation and injuries that they sustained right now. Even if they got passed the monster and their current conditions, then they would surely be falling for the prey of other greedy settlements that seeks to expand their lands, or the marauders or bandit, and even worse t
Getting the hint from the Old Red Goblin Chief, All 3 of them started to once again goes into their deep thought. After all, even if they stayed here, the chances of them being survived on these place, furthermore the winter season were about to come in in a few months time, surely things would be much harder. Just like the old Chief said, these is an opportunity of a life time, after all the life in the Wasteland are already worst, what can be much more dire than that, at these point. At the very least they must secure a future for their tribe members that are still alive.“Hello there, Young Tribe Chiefs…so, do you have the decisions?…”. (Sergeant Dolo)Actually Sergeant Dolo and also all the Scouts Squads that were involved in the Search and Rescue operation has been given a strict protocol for them to follow. And that is for the Squads to provide an options for the survivor on whether they wanted to be brought back to the base or not. It has been made clear for every single Aetern
The entire time of the 3 Stony Mountain Villagers were riding on the lorries as they were headed to the Aeternum Wasteland Base, they were really nervous about it, after all, it was somewhere that is unknown for them. They didn’t fully know whether these place will be good for them or bad, right now they were only desperate people trying to survive and wanted to moved on from their loses. Saying that they weren’t in their right mind in their decision making would be a little bit true for the 3 young tribe chief. After all, no matter what, they were still young and such fear of not making the right call will always hunted them, so for the rest of the drives, all 3 of the just stayed mostly silent as they taking care of the injured that were also on the lorries, placed right In the middle of the truck floors.“By the way, Old Chief…did you also got rescued by these Aeternum soldiers?..”. (Miol)Since they were in for a long ride to the Aeternum Wasteland base, Miol thought it was better
For the rest of 30 minutes of their drives to the Aeternum Wasteland Base, everyone were tuned in at the the Old Chief Mongo stories about Aeternum. How can they not be mesmerized and hooked to the story, because the chief is basically telling them about the story of how a heaven lives to them. A place of a better life that can be easily achieved by anyone, so it’s must be fake is what everyone think at the moment, but they can’t really speak of what they said at all, to counter the old chief story. Because ultimately they already seen part of the truth that he was speaking about.They have witnessed Aeternum soldiers strength as they were being saved by them. The Army has basically mowed down all the monsters that they have not been able to touch at all, that has killed all their peoples, and the Aeternum army didn’t even felt threatened nor even injured in the process of them not only scouring the dilapidated village but also went down a long way into the Grey Dwarf underground vill
Inside the majestic looking walls that they have ever seen is an entirely different sight. Because to them, these is the first time that they have ever witness something like these at all. And the inside of the wall, Is actually a modern looking town, like never seen before, tall buildings with glasses windows, the buildings were made out of bricks and also some kind of an odd stone, which is concrete but naturally they didn’t not much about that. But these sight as has actually made them believed that Aeternum is truly different because even the biggest city in the wasteland which is the cities that they were used to didn’t even looked as good and as advance as what is before their eyes.These Aeternum Wasteland Base is out of these world for all the survivor on the lorries, and in fact, once their convoys were slowly driving up on the road inside the Base, they can see other convoys the same as they were and on top of those lorries and trucks were also survivor from other settlement
Whilst Aeternum Wasteland base were undergoing a massive change, on the other hand, the Stammler City is secretly In a good mood and occasions. Because for the last 4 days, Amalinde Stammler, out of nowhere were suddenly visited by an Aeternum representatives, who just one day just suddenly appeared and in fact, already Purchasing a single building inside the city. To these day, the Stammler City owners were still figuring out just how did Aeternum representative were able to get in undetected and even managed to buy that very building. And so since then, Amalinde Stammler has been going back and forth with Aeternum Representative called Agent Smith.“So, Mister Agent Smith…are you saying that His Highness President Mies is already on his way here?..I assumed that the situations on the base as has been fully settled, right?..”. (Louis Stammler)Louis Stammler is the Patriarch of the Stammler family and also the lord of the Stammler Territory, He was a Dark Elf, which is clearly a seas
Like their Representatives that comes and appeared like a ghost, so does their President. That is what everyone in the Stammler Mansion thought at these moment, all of them has been eager to see what kind of King has made such an ideal nation for the non human kind that their sons and daughters has been praising non stop. And naturally as the lord of their own domains they have also heard about the rumour of Aeternum themselves. After all, the wasteland is actually neighbors with Hallerus Kingdom and also 2 of Aeternum allied nation. Above all, they admired the Aeternum king as he was able to threaten the hateful Church of Light in a war and even managed to win against them alone.A nation that has openly against the Human Supremacy teaching of the Church and won, then promoted the harmony of diversity under his ruling. The new up an coming Super power of a country, and that is the Independent State of Aeternum. Everyone were excited to finally meet with the man that have accomplished
When it comes to who have the most legitimacy of a monarch in these hall, is Naturally me, because I am the only Ruler and also a true king of an acknowledge country inside the Central Continent. As for all of them they were just a small territory ruler, it was the same as a king meeting just a normal nobles, like Duke or Baron. Thus the respect must be given from them to me, which they actually acted upon that respect to me. Which rather pleased me quite a lot, usually those that have a power often being too proud of it and act haughty. But not them, they respected me as I deserved, so naturally I too showed them humility and respect these entire time.Then again when I walked in, I can’t help but spread ou my Kingly Aura, as to test all of them. After all, I heard a few information about them, especially Reqkin Rivgog, the lord of the Antfolis City, he was describe as a fighting maniac by everyone, where he often challenges anyone that he felt like doing so. So I did that, but who w
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. Writers eager to bring their stories to life. Technicians fascinated by the magic of film.Even our allied nations sent students, eager to learn about this new frontier of entertainment. The future of the film industry had been secured.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it would come from exporting movies and cinema technology to our allied nations.And so, we struck a deal. Each allied nation would provide land and funding for the construction of cinemas. Aeternum would bring in the technology, train workers, and provide the films.The profits would be split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“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
