2 days after the Duke Meetings with Aeternum top leaderships, like always the surface on Aeternum society were still the same, nothing were changed at all, everyone were still working with smiles on their face, the people were going through their everyday lives. Many of the Aeternum Adventurer and Mercenaries were all enjoying their works, going in and out of the city and towns, going into the dungeons and hunting the harmful wild monsters for Credits and reputations. It was peace all around as usual, but in secrets, the Aeternum governments are on the move and preparation at the moment for the oncoming war that everyone would be participating. And it was a big ones too, it was a relief that by now, Aeternum Royal Military has it’s own large headquarter that is far from any populations, because it it didn’t, then people would be able to see just how much movements is going on currently.“I supposed that this time…your Armada will get it’s first taste of the land Battle, Admiral Kolaro
“Did you got beaten up by the Grand General again?..”.(General Eliza)“Did you run away from your office and goes into the dungeon again?..”.(Admiral Grand Duchess Kolarova)Talking about a blockhead, Aeternum military general lines up also got one, and it was Lucas. The sight of his battered looks is quite normal, in the base, because he was always finds a way to escape his paperwork duty and instead always wanted to go and fight something.“YES and YES!…I got tired of my paperwork…beside…I got a bunch of my secretary to do that for me….we are going to war…so I need to cultivate my strength before that happened….unfortunately, today the Grand General passed through my office…and she found out that I was using a holographic image of me in the office…so she seek me out..dragged me across the dungeon and base..and beat me….so same as always…but this time I managed to hit her 3 time in a row..HAHA…new records..”.(General Lucas)His smiling face right now, is rather funny a General only a
Aeternum, New City is a large city and every single day, the scale is slowly developing, be it opening a new land plot, or just building a new building that is bigger and taller than others. Everyone from all over Aeternum naturally visited New City every moment in their daily lives. Even those that were from the Renoal Town, which is the Northern most Town in Aeternum territory would come down to New City at least once a week, if they wanted too. Aeternum roads and method of transportation has already destroyed the people belief about the hardships of moving around in a large distance. Those that comes from far away places at the edge and corner of Aeternum can basically travel to the New City and back to their house in a single day.Naturally with such ease and advantage, there were also those that secretly using this comforts and easiness to their own advantages. Therefore aside from the many people in Aeternum, there is those that worked secretly and cowardly in the hidden dark.
The only feasible reactions that an Alemia Royal faction loyalist can give when they heard that Duke Oliver Gust and his entire family and vassal is currently in New City instead of dying from the assassination attempts that the Hidden Hands were supposed to be success at, is nothing but slamming a fist on a table to quell their rages. Nicholas were outright baffled at what he is hearing at, Shad isn’t someone that can make mistake, in fact, all of the Hidden Hands Spies weren’t the type that would make a mistake on recognizing the Alemia Nation nobles, especially the one that is the entire nation should be wary and concerned about.“Duke Oliver is here?..what is he doing here?…didn’t he were just in his territory?…all of the runaways were heading to their territory!…so how?!…why?!!….you said that he was at the Government District right?…where is he heading towards to?..”.(Nicholas)Nicholas were on the verge of a break down, questioning everything that passed through his mind. When i
“...Greetings, Director Mot…I never think that we would be found…but…Apparently I were too naive for my own good….how long has Aeternum knows about us?..”.(Nicholas)Calmly and politely, Nicholas stepped forward before Mot and asked, all the Hidden Hands spies shaking their heads for him not to do so, but Nicholas knows that if Mot were here, then it is game over for all of them, and perhaps for Alemia Nation as well.“A polite and civilized leader…interesting….we know from the start….how many of you..what you were doing..who’s the leader and to whom you provide your services to….for a long time, I can’t be bothered of your presence…and we just decided to let you be by your own…but it was a different story now….so, Nicholas, Leader of the Hidden Hands…you know what is to become of you and your men…now..correct?..”. (Director Of the Internal Audit, Mot)Nicholas could only swallow his bitter saliva, as he heard that this entire time, they have been in the mercy of Aeternum hands, and
In the hidden dark of Aeternum sunny sides, a purge were currently in progress. With the Internal Audit Department, getting a direct order from the Ventral Government Ministry. All of Alemia Nation related organization that were working against Aeternum interest, were all being hunted down and destroyed, without any mercy at all and all of them were prosecuted and trial on the spot. Although the order were to simply just kill and purge everything, Mot as the Director of the Internal Audit herself, refuses to just committing mass genocide without a proper protocol, she would follow her rules and the law to the letter, that is just the way she is, Still despite, that legal following protocol, everything still moving on smoothly.“Sister Elijah, my department has purged, hunted down, prosecuted and confiscated, almost all of the Alemia Nation related organization, be it the spies or their dirty Dark Organizations….Seriously sister…why have you decided to let this kind of people in our co
At the Broadcast centre, things is already moving fast, everyone were busy since the President himself has set foot in the building and has been working for a full day and now entering the second day already. There were a lot to do when it comes to convincing a lot of people at the same time, whilst everyone were doing their part, naturally one of the most essential part of the entire thing also had to worked hard. That ‘s why, Paul, Quara Raedrim and President Mies has been working at full capacity. Thankfully the search for the new news anchor that will be colouring the Aeternum new type of entertainment, has already been picked.“Damon Oak is really unexpectedly charming…for a Dwarf he sure is good looking…”.(Paul)“That’s true…I like him…he is what a personification of a Dwarf should be like…Magnificent fiery red beard, rough looks and excellent deep voice…that guy is perfect..”.Me and Paul were talking about the new news anchor that passed the audition today. His name is Damon O
Excessive words and expression weren’t much needed between me and Mot, we both can just sit here at the edge of the studio and looked at people, for hours if we wanted to, She especially loved it. She told me once that she liked being around me, and didn’t mind just be with me all day. But after we got passed our earlier days and now everyone has their own works and responsibility, she limited herself to be with me to at least once a month. Anubis Demi-Human race, is unique, the were emotionless and also do not have any sexual urges at all, they just live In any form and style the like. And apparently, what is better for an Aeternum Anubis race is that, they dedicated their dedication to the benefits of Aeternum, but for Mot, she dedicated her life for me. So the least that I can do for her is fulfill her needs.“Did you already done with cleaning New City?..”.“...Yes, I did…Executed the all leaders, and also 200 members of them…and I also left 30 of them alive…just like Sister Elija
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
