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
To all the lords and their closes aide, all of them were impressed with Aeternum first looks, by a single glance, it was clear that Aeternum is far more greater country than they could ever be. Their workers were all healthy and organized, all discipline and filled with mannerism, it was shocking to see for all of them, because almost all of the Aeternum workers that were around the Airship and inside the Airship were all Dem-Humans and some of them were humans but all of them were working and existing in harmony. To their shock, even the esteemed Team Leader were Demi-Human that even the human workers of Aeternum had to respect.For the lords and their aides such scenery is something that they can never get used to. A scenery where humans and Demi-Human were treating each others with respect and dignity. Not to mention that they were also shocked at just how highly educated Aeternum Demi-Human were, not only they were capable of writing and reading, they also were able to calculates.
“...so…right of now..peoples don’t have any way to trades at all…and also, the City weren’t able to be the one that settles the monetary issues..also, these situations were happened on all 4 of the city…Correct?..”.(Team Leader Stewart)“Yes…”.(Lord Louis Stammler)Lord Louis Stammler carefully explained the whole situations to Team Leader Stewart as they all were brought inside the Airship Cafeteria cabin. The cabin itself were naturally capable to comfortably accommodate the whole 20 guest that comes with Agent Smith. Whist the Lords were speaking, the Young leaders of the Wastelands alongside with they mothers and siblings took these chances to tours the entire Airship, After all, the young leaders were the only one that have experienced the Airship comfort before.Actually the sight and the marvel of Aeternum technology has been something that all the Lords company has been eager to explores. Everything impressed them, and they were even shocked to see such luxurious Airship is a
After the elimination operation, that were done last night, today were supposed to be the cover up mission for all of Aeternum personnel. I know for certain that the last night moves will make a significant impact on the economic side of all the Wasteland, after all, all the major Wasteland cities were the hub of economy of the entire Wasteland. Everyone from all over the Wasteland goes there to trade and make living, thus I think that why not make these occasion to help the masses forget the guilds and the abusive merchant groups much faster. By simply becoming their unsuspected hero, in the times of their distress.With such moves, and Aeternum Traders coming into the play after being invited by the Lords themselves, I can fully eliminate the threat of Aeternum getting any powerful competitor on the market. With these way, Aeternum can enters the market with a high credibility and will have much more impact in changing the Wasteland society. This will make sure that Aeternum will ga
As soon as he got the approval from the President, Team Leader Stewart ended the call and slowly made his way back to the cafeteria cabin, where the Lords were all waiting. By now, all the guest were already gathered inside the cafeteria cabin, even the madams and the young leaders of the wasteland were all gathered, after all, they were all waiting for a nerve wrecking decisions that will solved their problems. It may be just a few minutes since Team Leader Stewart were gone, but at that time, all the lords were already finished one shot their coffees several cups already.“Mr.Smith…did the Airship passenger were able to dine on all of these beverages and snacks?…all of the things that we have eaten in the last minutes…all of them seems rather high end…I am wondering about these..mind to say your opinion?..”.(Linda Stammler)Linda Stammler is the wife to Lord Louis Stammler, She is quite a gentle madam of the Stammler House, she is a Half Elves, a very elegant and intelligent lady, s
“Oh..that, Our President also will take the same approach to all of the lords cities too…Since you have mention the issues to us…my subordinate in the other cities will also do the same as we did here…so there is no need for concerns of such discrimination were to happen at all..”.(Team Leader Stewart)“Is that so?….then that is a relief…ahahaha..”.(Lord Reqkin Rivgog)“That’s right…this is all thanks to Aeternum willing to help us…I was about to worry just now…my domain were a little bit farther away from here…if his Highness President didn’t help me…I might get back to my city with everything probably in a bad shape…”.(Lord Aluthia Alantar)Once again, the laughter continues in the room, at least now all of the lords knew that Aeternum is truly a dependable ally. Sure it was an inconvenience and inconsiderate of them to just suddenly request for such help in such a short notice. At such point even if Aeternum denied their request none of them can actually said anything back at all.
“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
