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
Today seems like any average normal day in the Wasteland, and for wasteland people once the day rise come, it is once again a hot sweltering days for all of them to work s they always does. But somehow, today somethings seems different, because unlike before, the usually Market roads or areas in all of the 4 Wasteland major settlements seems a little bit different, seems a little bit too silent, unlike the days before these. And it was more apparent when the stores that usually opened were still closed, in fact the only traders that can be seen on the market, or that opening the stores were the ones that own by the native peoples.Not a single stores that were owned by many of the large Merchant groups open at all. Their doors were still close, even the local labour that usually were already started working by hauling sacks in front of the stores are all currently waiting to be called. These is all seems extremely weird to everyone to the point where they started to feel a little bit
The sudden emptiness in the Market areas and also the guilds of Merchants, adventurer and Mercenary that has been a significant locations inside of all 4 of the Wasteland Major city, is something that shook the entire city, these situations wasn’t just unique to just Stammler city only, but the same kind of disappearance also happened on all of the Major city that have decided to follow in Aeternum alliance. With such major incident happening in the City naturally the City Guards went off ans scrambled to all the interest places to protect the area and control the masses panic. Meanwhile at the Stammler City on the other hand, the anxious City Head Guard, Warrior Kev, just like he just said, he was already rushing towards the Stammler Family Mansion on his horse.“..…My lord, The City Head Guard, Warrior Kev, is in the audience hall, requesting to meet you…it was an urgent matter…”.(Stammler Family Butler,Ben)Inside the Stammler Family Mansion, Dining room, the breakf
Not just stopping at shocking Lord Louis with the news that a lot of people have gone in a single night, Warrior Kev went ahead told the Lord about his finding at the scene. Carefully Warrior Kev speaks about the scene, and just how weird it is, there is a sign of battles take place, there were also a clear traces of the possibly dead bodies being burned to ashes and also all their property were moved. It is certainly an odd incident that happened in Stammler City, to make matters even more horrifying is that, these Guilds and also the many merchant groups, is not at all some simple existence within the city. They are the major forces that actually have the power to control the city itself, they were the Stammler City main income provider.“...They gone just like that?….just who have done these?….and just how?..”.(Lord Louis Stammler)“That is also my question, My Lord….but until now…I can’t think of anyone who can do this kind of thing at all…there is no traces of those that do these
When everyone thought that they can head back home worry free and feeling happy from the deals that they have signed with Aeternum, is actually now greeted with a rather grim and worrying news. All the lords including Aeternum representatives were seated inside of Lord Louis Study room, as Lord Louis is asking for the other lords for their helps in his current situations. It is certainly ain’t really pretty currently, as it was very clear that the situations that they were in right now, is slowly descending towards chaos. Everyone were worried about the Stammler City predicaments, because right of now, rather than thinking that Aeternum is the culprit of these incident, they have thought, perhaps the Guilds has heard about the deal with Aeternum and decided to elope at night.“..To be honest, Aeternum notoriety with the Guilds are already widespread…as we are really in war with them..and they rather feared us…I supposed them knowing about the deals and decided to fought against themse
As the lords were wrestling in their heads on how to resolves these matters, on the other hand, the most relaxed person in the room, is naturally Mr.Smith, as unlike everyone in the room, he actually knows the truth about what is happening last night, because it was Aeternum who is the one that is making everyone disappears last night. He also has already have a solutions for the entire thing actually, after all, it was all already being set up by the President at the base. Today, as per agreed, the first batch of Aeternum resource Ministry, Trading Department will made land in all 4 of the city, and started the buying of all all the Settlement stockpiled foods.Whilst it was only initially aimed to bought all the stockpiled foods of the settlements, there is a secret mission for all the Trading Department, which is to be ‘forced’ by the situations to actually become the traders for the entire settlements in order to calm the situations thanks to the sudden crisis. Aeternum who will b
Outside the Stammler City Wall, since it was around 8 in the morning, the city are already alive, there is people moving about in and out of the city. The vicinity of the city as well were also filled with is people, some were going about to hunt for monsters, some were leaving the city to find herbs and wild foods, these is the norms. The outside of the city weren’t completely barren land, there is a path of trees and small jungle here and there but, it was looking pretty much like a desert after all, but rather than the temperature being too hot, it was rather mild. Today the stark difference that many were shocked seeing it were the Aeternum large Airship, that just made land outside the city wall.“Woah!…isn’t that the floaty thingy that we saw the other day?…seems like that thing can land too…Wait, isn’t that thing have people in it?…who is those people?…look they were Demi-Human too…are they nobles?..”.(Stammler City Resident Hunters)“They looks very nice and clean…they also lo
“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
