The meeting ended with what could be said as a grand ceremony, Duke Oliver Gust right now, I already a registered Aeternum citizens, and also an unofficial Governor, making him the third governor rank official in Aeternum, it was definitely a landmark moment for all of us, for Aeternum as a whole it signifies that soon the territory will be extended even more and therefore creating more option for all of us and soon will be changing a lot of aspect of life on an Aeternums. As for Duke Oliver Gust this kind of development on his life, is something that he has been dreaming about for quite a long time, so his reaction at that moment is quite justified.Duke Oliver Gust is perhaps the only nobles in Alemia that has the kind of mindset that he had. He is a kind leader and lord, unlike to the many of his fellow nobles and even the royalty in any kingdoms and not just Alemia Nation, they all might not have the same empathy towards the masses as him, his belief is aligned fully with the way
It was great to send off Duke Oliver Gust back to his home happy and bubbly. What is even more important is that once again, Aeternum gained a powerful and capable allies and what is even more, is that Aeternum is now already guaranteed to obtained Alemia Nation as a new land, and expansion that seemingly coming out of nowhere and far to early. After the Duke left, me as well as the rest of the meeting members, aside from Countess Jelina, are still seated inside the meeting room, for more detailed discussions.“We gained another strong partners now…You see…even from my Island Kingdom..I have heard about the Lord of the Eastern Alemia…that man, is hailed from a Noble Knight Family…their influence and might Surpassed the other Ducal family…and rivals the Northern Ducal family too…”. (Governess Queen Aqeesha)“Really?…that is quite amazing…but to me, what is more amazing is that he has the courage to stand against the Alemia Royalty…in terms of economic powers…Gust Ducal family, is the r
The only way to incite raging attention, patriotism ans sens of unity, undoubtedly within the masses, is when there is an unfortunate events happened, and they saw it with their own eyes. This kind of scenario has been proven right these whole time, since I have been here and founded Aeternum. In fact, when I were back on Earth often times when in a mission, vengeance were always a great driving force in soldiers to complete their mission and destroyed the oppositions. Compensation, reason and justification is always something that is demanded when one felt that something were taken away from them.There we multiple instance where I provoke Aeternums sense of justification over the course of time. Like when I rallied everyone to fight for the Battle of the Tri-Nation Valley against the Undead and the Church of Light and then the Civil Wars in Hallerus Kingdom. The sentiment and reason for that war is naturally varied, but one thing that all of them had in common is the full support f
The bandits, whether they were own apart of the nobles force or just an average bandits in the Southern Alemia region, are always attracted to Aeternum Navy convoy no matter what. Because it didn’t take too much intellect to know that with just the Seafood’s product alone, as soon as any of them got their hands on it, it was an instant rich for anyone, not to mention the multitude of products and raw materials that were now transported in a large capacity using the ships. Everyone knows just how wealthy Aeternum Navy Convoy is, because no matter how many times the convoy passed through the territory, the ships always without any fails, managed to pays the tolls every single time.I always mandated for any Aeternum owned convoy, to pay respect to the local rules and customs, although is was annoying and burdensome to do so, these kind of things can’t be avoided at all, after all, we are passing through their territories. Then again, the reason as to why the bandits knows just how rich
In the scenario of wanting to have more impact, there should be a main focus in the plan, to make everyone can’t help but being worried and concerned. To start the support everyone needs to be concerned about the matter in the first place. So if we managed to sparks that concerns then everything will just start moving from there, therefore who in Aeternum that has a lot of public influence than me. This is why I decided that I have to be in that ships that would be attacked and also reported in the scene of the news to make more impact, when that happened I am sure that no matter how stubborn people were, they have to send their support one way or another. But naturally, putting myself in a risk, is something that no one wanted me to do.“.…I don’t think that you being there, yourself…isn’t necessary at all…someone can be there…Bina, Mina or me can simply replaced you…and I am sure people will react the same way as you wanted…Sire..”.(Vice President Elijah)“I seconded, Vice President
Finally the end agreed decision for everyone to agreed with my participation, is that Bina and Duchess Kolarova, along side with 100 soldiers each being ready in secrets was agreed upon and it was the conditions for me being in the actions, Although I am pretty much sure that such things isn’t needed for my safety all, but since these arrangement were the only way that they can let it go, I might as well went along with it. Now naturally all that is left, is to spread the news, about the incoming Aeternum convoy and also the news about the first Aeternum Live Holographic news, by now I am sure that everyone surely in need of a new type of entertainments.The Holographic broadcast, is just the same as a Television broadcast, it just that compared to a Television that powered by electronic mass communication medium, the Holographic Broadcast, is using all magic and mana, which is to be honest, compared to the early era of broadcasting, the quality of Holographic magic broadcasting, usi
As soon as we sat down in My office in the Broadcasting Centre, I naturally elaborate the entire plans to Paul, letting him know about this is not at all a problem, one thing about Paul, although he is a celebrity and a DJ radio, he is a person that is capable to keep a secret, also the fact that he is signed a loyalty contract with me that lasted for m lifetime, that alone is a big insurance that he will never the a cause to a leaked information, because the contract will then took his life, it was a contract of life and death that he signed by himself. Beside this guy will be the one that will be operating the Broadcast in the background so he needs to know the details even if anyone doesn’t.“Boss man…don’t you think it was a bit risky?…I mean I know that you were the most suitable person for the job…but you are our King…if we lose you..then Aeternum would be nothing…”.(Paul)“Anything is risky, Paul…but what can we do…this is the optimal choice…”.“Well, anything you say, Boss Man
“Really?!…my lord has become an Aeternum Governor?!…the third Aeternum Governor?!..”.(Viscount Crisp Tackle)The stunned reactions, coming from Duke Oliver Gust most loyal retainer, weren’t just exclusive to just him, but also the rest of the people in the room.“Yes, I am!…I were recommended by, our Family Friend, Governess Countess Jelina, supported by the 1st governess Queen Aqeesha Eloesa…and then also supported by the 5 Ministers!…and ultimately, I were appointed as Aeternum Noble, and also an Unofficial Governor ranks!…not only that, His Highness The President also, granted not just me, but my entire family, and also all of my trusted vassal, be granted the Aeternum Citizenship!…Also, look at this, this is a Governor Token, it is something that were only given to the Aeternum Governor..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)Everyone were still on the verge of disbelief, sure they all know that the Duke isn’t a liar, but for a major stuff like this. Everyone needs a time to absorb the shocking tru
This was Aeternum’s first fully televised football match, being broadcast internationally to allied nations like Dukedom of Angela, Kingdom of Zaredon, and Kingdom of Eloesa.Even rival nations, like Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation, watched the match with a mix of jealousy and curiosity.For them, this was completely new.A sport played in a massive stadium. A crowd of thousands cheering in unison. Leaders sitting among their people, showing unity and camaraderie."Is this… what Aeternum entertainment looks like?""No wonder their people love them…"Aeternum was changing the world, one goal at a time.The match continued, New City United pressing forward, desperately trying to equalize. And then—Thirty minutes in—goal! New City United equalized with a powerful shot from outside the box.Forty-second minute—goal! Another attack from New City, and they took the lead.President Mies stood up and cheered loudly with the crowd."Looks like the President is having a great t
At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums weren’t full. People didn’t understand why they should care. But then… he first matches were broadcasted on television. And suddenly, everything changed.For the first time, people saw their own cities competing. New City United vs. Shark Bay FC. Ironridge Titans vs. Silverport Eagles. Blazing Tundra vs. Redwood Strikers.It wasn’t just football anymore—these were their cities, their teams, their pride. And when fans saw their teams winning, they felt the rush of victory. When they saw their teams losing, they felt the bitterness of defeat.The spark had been ignited. Soon enough… Supporters’ clubs started popping up. Fans flooded stadiums on weekends. People debated tactics in bars, cafes, and workplaces. Children started dreaming of becoming professional players.Saturdays and Sundays were now known as Football Days, where everyone tuned in to watch their favorite teams battle for supremacy.The AFL wasn’t j
“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
