Right after the meeting with the Aeternum President, Unlike the Aeternum President who hurried left the Stammler City, all the lords still decided to stay in the hospitality of the Stammler Family, all of the 4 lords right now, were in an informal setting where they were enjoying what they considered the first calm nights that they have experience after years of headache because of the Wasteland worsening situations. It was a seldom occasions to see all the 4 lords sat down on a single balcony in peace, after all, all 4 of them never really do be in a good terms with each others, each and single one of them has a history of battles against one and another.“Those Merchants made it seems like Aeternum is the worst type of people out there…whilst the truth is…they were the one that with the black heart…..”.(Reqkin Rivgog)“I know right?…When Little Lobelia told me that she wanted to go to Aeternum…I rather reluctant…but now, letting her go was the right decisions after all…Seeing
As the day slowly turned dark and the stars slowly getting brighter in the sky, all the Lords along with Agent Smith as their story teller about Aeternum, everyone comes to understand more about what Aeternum is and whom the President is, they come to found out about the President philosophy and his strong will against racism that has been practiced by humans. How he single handedly created the most perfect government that everyone were satisfied with, over the times, all the Lords has found a new perspective about Aeternum as a whole. And Naturally they also learned about the do’s and don’t when it comes to the President.“We never knew that…that is how it went down with the Church of Light in the Tri-Nation Valley war…turns out that the people who called themselves the purest and the righteous ones actually wanted to played gods…and then got their asses handed back to them..Hah~ how satisfying it is to here that..”.(Rhowanda Mudswan)“...So right now, Aeternum is actually enemies wi
Whilst the Stammler family Mansion in the Stammler city were in a good vibes as all the Lords were listening to Agent Smith tales about Aeternum, on the other part of the city the night isn’t as peaceful as everyone thought it might be. Especially for the 3 Major Guilds that is currently bewildered as to why they haven’t received any information about what is going on inside the Stammler Family Mansion as they usually does every day or when something important happened. Everything has been a smooth sailing for them ever since they set foots on these lands, not only they were revered by everyone but also they have been living like kings for so long that a mere Guild Master were able to make anything they liked.“Why is that Lingard Joel is far too late these days…we haven’t got any reports from them at all?…even our people in the mansion haven’t come out from that place at all?…did all the lord having a party of any kind?..”.(Merchant Guild Master Relius Jack)Sitting inside on the top
As that atmosphere at the secret top floor of the Merchant guild become more merry, at a dilapidated mud house right across the street of it, were all silence and filled with seriousness. From the outside, the mud house looked exactly the same as any other houses beside it and in the city. But in the inside it was different, because at the moment, the sound of people gearing up and racking their silenced firearms were constantly reverberate. The entire house were filled with Aeternum A.C.I.A agents, which is all of them above Tier 2, it can be said that in the entire Stammler City these is the strongest gathering of powerhouse.“All these greedy pigs talking with each others disgust me!…Ptui!…”.(Agent Spider @ 02)“There will always people like them in these world, 02…these kind of people are normal in Fantasma, we Aeternums were the only kind that is different…as we all have values and humanity in us…03, can you pass me that Flash bomb…I’m gonna blind those bastard the first thing I
“Sir, all assault squads has mobilized…time limit counter has started, 59 minutes until mission time ended….receiving live feeds from all Squads…Stammler City Squad 3 has initiated the Perimeter Operation barrier….no civilians nor, the Stammler City official personnel inside the operation radius…Squad 1 and 3 are moving in on target…”.(First Lieutenant Chiyou)“All communication office stay on alert..monitor the surrounding carefully…make sure that the operation stayed covert…once there is variable comes up…the remainder of the Third Squads will move in and subdued the Variable…”.“Roger that sir,…All communication officers, Opened the secure covert channel to all designated ‘Executioners’…Permission to eliminate Variables is permitted..Permissible actions is Option 2…”.(First Lieutenant Chiyou)Whilst those that were on the field were working hard, those that were in the War Room is also doing as much hard worked as all of them, rather than using their physical prowess those that wer
“As always…Maiden Unit is just too overpowered…Look at that Maiden Eleanor..she is only using a handgun the entire time. Yet she can easily punctured the head of the Tier 3 Minotaur warrior, whilst he was showing off his Aura, that is just insane…”.(Colonel Alessia)On one of the screen, it shows that whilst the chaos were happening, Maiden Eleanor which has become Colonel Alessia interest, is actually just showing a spectacular skills at defeating all of her foes. Whilst dressed in her signature revealing maid uniforms and equipped with not armor and just donning a handgun and a swords, she cut down everything in her path. In fact, it wasn’t just her, but all the Maiden Unit is just like her, they were keeping up with the Squads tempo whilst easily handling their own work and even helping others.“Hmm…as a Chosen Maiden Unit Operator, she naturally has to performed like these…these ladies were still the trainees…for a trainees their performance is acceptable for me…just acceptable…no
As at the Aeternum Wasteland Base, War Room were getting rather tense, the same thing is happening at the Stammler city and also all the operation locations, all the operator as of the moment are already entering the most critical phase of their operation. At the Stammler City, Squad 1 is already engaging with the occupants of the Merchant Guilds top floors, where all the 3 major guild, guild masters and also the merchant groups owners were having their party. For once in their lives they never would’ve thought that they were attacked like these in the ground where they are confident that are theirs for so long.“Who are you?!…how dare you break into these room!!..do you know who we are?..”.(Merchant Guild Master Relius Jack)The first thing that the famed Greedy Pig of the Stammler City Merchant guild could utter from his mouth at the apparent disruption before him, is lashing out with his worthless words of threats. Everyone in the room were drunk and already incoherent beyond measu
It doesn’t take too long or too complicated process after all agents were to get their designated arrested, because after that, for the remaining ones that were left behind after all the actions were handled by the Maiden Unit. Aside from Squad leader Rosee and Maiden Eleanor, agent 02,03 and 04 already dragging their unconscious target out. As the chaotic scene passed, there is not a single person in the room has any capacity to be a threat, so everything went to silence at once.“Miss, what should we do about these slaves?..”.(Squad Leader Agent Rosee @ 01)“...What slaves?…01…we are in an operation ground and procedures…naturally it falls into the collateral damage category…besides…look at them…ending their suffering whilst avenging them are the best that we can do for them…”.(Maiden Eleanor)“.…..I apologize..it was out of line of me…”.(Squad Leader Agent Rosee @ 01)“Good…step out of the room…only come in after the sound stops…”.(Maiden Eleanor)It was clear what is going to happ
“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
