Right now the entire situations is downright gloomy and depressing already, after all, a lot of things that happened that brought them grief is the kind of stuff that they can’t really do anything about. They cannot stopped the war because they were the only side that were against the war. Thus as the 2 of the middle aged guy were gazing at the sunset and the trails of people that were moving slowly on the roads entering the fortress. Viscount Crisp tried to lighten up the mood by talking about their cheerful topic, and that is the combination of their children stories and Aeternum.“That’s right..my son said.. the Student Council actually were given chances to attend the Aeternum Cabinet meeting…that is something amazing, Milord..have the Young lady shared anything about that?..”.(Viscount Crisp)“Oh..I heard about that…Francesca called be and talked about it a few days ago…these days, she told me, that all the 3rd year Student’s are currently doing their practical period…even she he
Just as Duke Oliver Gust and Viscount Crisp were just taking their sweet time to speaks about something that both of them finds relaxing. Both of them were startled by the sudden intrusion of a third party, Duke and the Viscount duo were known as Tier 3 Knight, that has a lot of experience in combat and wars, and they naturally already got used to some dark stuff, especially assassins, at these moment, when their conversation were interrupted, Both of them only realized the presence of Senior Agent Mephis just after he was, by himself revealed his aura to them. Certainly they both didn’t know just how long has it been for him to stand inside the wall tower observing them.“My request were approved?…and what request is that, that I asked for someone like you to appeared from the shadow like these?..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)Being a noble of another nation and also a subject of Alemia Nation recent attentions. Duke Oliver Gust naturally has to be careful about how he approach somethings, aft
Currently in Alemia Nation, where the nation were in the peak of war, The eastern region decision is a factor that can easily toppled the whole situations, should he decided to support one faction, the war can already find it’s victors. But as everyone knows the duke has been showing strong decision and reluctance to not support anyone in the war, and openly stated that the war should be ceased at once. So, to the 2 factions, he was already being seen as a bigger threat that can doomed them in any possible way. And already decided that either they should succumb him no matter what, or if not, then it was better for him and the entire Ducal family to die, so that they can use the Duke territory and power for themselves.Even Duke Oliver himself already aware of the facts that they Queen and Crown Prince factions already started to change their approach when they come for him. What at first was a warm inquiry has now started to getting rather obnoxious and these days it has been gotten
Rather than keeping his excitement in one place, Duke Oliver Gust is now certain that he should take up these invitations from Aeternum seriously. So instead of still staying at the fortress, he headed back home immediately, leaving Viscount Crisp took command of the fortress and helped the refugees coming into the territory, while he and Senior Agent Mephis head back to the Gust City, the capital of the Eastern Alemia Region. To Duke Oliver his excitement were bubbling up already, because he can’t wait to see the Aeternum leadership before him, he cannot help but imagining that perhaps more good things come to fruition thanks to these very occasion.“The City is quite remarkable, Duke Oliver…I can see that you are implementing a lot of Aeternum influence in these city….Amongst many of the cities all over the continent that I went to…these city is perhaps has the most vibrant and lively atmosphere, comparable to New City in Aeternum…the people truly loved these place..I can see it in
As soon as the Duke and Senior Agent Mephis separated away, one were send to wait and another went to get prepared. The Entire mansion were thrown into a frenzy, Duke Oliver went straight to wash himself up whilst order his head butler to deliver his words to his 2 wives and his 2 young sons to prepared for a long journey. The Duke didn’t said much, of anything other than a fact that he was in a great hurry. Matching his urgency tone, all the staff went into work, after all, if their master were in that much of situation, them the subjects should be more worried than that. By the time, Duke Oliver Gust got out of his Bathing time, and dressing up, both of his wives entered his chamber, anxiously asked.“Your Grace..what is happening?…why are we in such a hurry?…is the Queen or the prince are attacking us?..”.(Duchess Cassi Gust)“Yeah, Your Grace..what is going on?…surely the situations isn’t that bad..right?..”.(Countess Sarra Gust)Usually for a Noble family, especially those that w
To a lot of people in the Central Continent, in fact in the world of Fantasma. Aeternum style of life is really different, and when it comes to a high class treatment, anyone that got the taste of those kind of life especially to the natives of these world they rarely wanted to come back to the way they were before. The entire Gust family, naturally were not that alien to the Aeternum lifestyles, after all, they themselves right after Aeternum were established and opened to the public, they always headed to the New City for leisure. And they thoroughly enjoyed their times there, enjoying the modern rich lifestyles.They even have Mansion of their own in the New City that they always stayed at when they went to New City. That is just how they loved visiting Aeternum and always dreamed to become an Aeternum themselves. Certainly they also have rode the Aeternum Cars before, and among Aeternums, and the nobles either in Aeternum or outside, they always dreamed of riding that Aeternum Gov
As the Eastern Duke of Alemia Nation is currently on his way headed towards The Nirewin City of Kingdom of Nirewin, that is an ally nation of Aeternum. Meanwhile in the Alemia City, the pressure of the Civil war are already mounting on both factions. These wars rather than anyone gaining anything at all, both side were just continuously losing everything they had slowly over the time. In fact, the Southern Region and also the Eastern Region by now already started to see a clear receding numbers of their citizen and many fled towards the Aeternum border walls or to the peaceful Eastern Region.Even their soldiers continue to drops as every single days passes. At the Alemia Palace, at the Throne room, all the Queen vassal were grouped together as they often does in the war time. Currently for both side the pressure were big for them and everyone seeks to end these war by winning them. One of the major life changing factor is Duke Oliver Gust who has been against the war from the start u
Currently the Duke Oliver Gust convoy from the Gust City has already arrived safely passed the Alemia Nation border and already near entering the Nirewin City. Nowadays, even the small Kingdom of Nirewin were already bustling with vibrancy as the nation are now, already considering themselves as Aeternum unofficial vassal state. Duke Oliver Gust and his wives remembered these city weren’t as bustling and advance as right now before. But now those dilapidated and poor city has already changed so much, that it was almost unrecognizable.“Oh, these city has changed so much that I barely recognized them….2 months ago, there weren’t these busy…now..they already have the Association here…so amazing!..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)“Look, Honey…even their roads were paved now…King Helberd must be very happy right now…”.(Duchess Cassi Gust)Senior Agent Mephi who acted as the escort for the Duke family, naturally ride with them in the same SUV. Ever since then entered the Nirewin City that already have
“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
