At the Yulga Territory, in Duke Racall town, the entire Yulga Family were in conference, all thanks to the sudden development from Aeternum that they heard at the radios. As someone that wanted to leech on Aeternum prosperity, the Yulga Family were wary of ever single development that Aeternum made, and this sudden movement, do worries them quite a lot.“Is there any news about the Aeternum moves?…will they be moving passed their borders?…”.(Duke Racall Yulga)“They seems to just headed towards the Eastern Border of their nation and that was about it…my people, sees no movement whatsoever at the rivers at all…but the news of Aeternum President and Aeternum itself moved towards the Eastern Border sparks a lot of activities in our sides and Alemia sides as well…”.(Baron Olga)Inside Duke Racall studies where the conference were held, Duke Racall were clearly looking unsettled as he sat in his chair while shewing on his thumbnail. He is an opportunistic and a schemer, Aeternum movement d
The situation at the eastern border is actually much more in controlled that anyone actually thought. The news about the monster stampede is actually something that is fairly quite common at Aeternum border, especially on the side of Alemia Nation, since the Eastern region of Alemia were basically abandoned, there is no one culling the monster population there, let alone managing the dungeons so stampede is already common there. Since Aeternum border were close, the stampede often headed towards Aeternum. Nevertheless each time this situation occurs, the Border Patrol and the Military were able to handle this situation easily. In fact, at the Northeastern border, the stampede were so frequent that the military conducted a real life combat training there all the time.Thanks to the Stampede that is constantly happening there, it also contributed a lot materials and raw meat supplies for the entire Shark Region. To be quite honest, this time stampede will actually be just a regular stam
As we arrived at the Eastern Border base, the situation were completely normal, although with my arrivals the Border Patrol officers and Soldiers were all in high spirits, they were all preparing for the gate opening and as well as the imminent attacks. It was a normal scene as at any border places in Aeternum, but this time this place just have a more personnel than usual. The Convoy that were with me, naturally immediately jumps into work of their own, the medical staffs went and erected the Field Hospital tents. The immigration staffs, went into the existed immigration office and also enlarged the operating space. Everyone got their jobs to do and they just goes up and do it, the border gate area, is what we called the border base area.Basically the gate entrance is where all the facilities were located, it was a large space, and there were all essential buildings here for all the immigration, entering and leaving business that can be dealt here on the spots. So there is not much
At the refugee settlement, the refugees naturally did not know what is about to happened as they all didn’t know that soon they will be able to get a chance to get what they wanted all this time, and that is to become an Aeternum citizen. All that they know is that today, the activities on the top wall, is rather rowdy, and also there is a warning alarmed that were sounded at the morning today, which they all knew that a Monster Stampede is coming this way. Living near Aeternum made them learned a thing or two about Aeternum alarms.It is not like their Camps haven’t been attacked by monster stampede before or the alarm never sounded off before. They did, get attacked before and even so, they were all safe since Aeternum would sound the warning alarm hours before the stampede comes. And as always, the poor refugees actions is to packed their tents and belonging and moved closer to to Border walls, this actions enable Aeternum soldiers to protect them all, as the firing area were clea
As soon as one person pointed out that The President of Aeternum were right there before all of them, many of the refugees instantly looked up to confirmed what they heard. And at that moment, everyone instantly knows and recognized the President of Aeternum is really on top of the wall, and are looking over all of them. It was definitely a surreal moment’s for all the refugees, as all of them were living very close with Aeternum land, naturally they all knows about the President and mostly about Aeternum government. In fact all of them studied all about Aeternum, from language all the way to the leadership figures of Aeternum.Naturally they were taught by the soldiers and also a lot of the volunteers from Aeternum that comes to help the refugees. Everyone in the refugees camps knows a little bit about Aeternum lives, it very different from what they used to, given that all the refugees wanted to be an Aeternum citizen, they showed an enthusiastic passion to blend in, therefore learn
All the refugees were begging on their knees before the wall wholeheartedly, it was something that can even made the toughest ones touched and sympathized with them. Aeternum soldiers that were in the wall, were naturally is as humane as anyone can be also can’t avoid but got choked with tears. But nevertheless whenever they were under order and the supervision of the 3 top most leader of the nation, they will stay true to their duty no matter what, it is what they have been trained for, and what they believed as a soldier. As the shouts and wails becomes louder, Aeternum soldier and the border patrols were all manning up their spots, unmoving at all by the scene.In the midst of this situation, everyone turned to one person to say something to reply to the cries of these people. Everyone were tense, be it on the refugees sides or the Aeternum side, even those that were under the wall on the Aeternum side, were just silently working without saying a single words at all, but all of the
Everyone stopped on their track as soon as they heard the calm voice from the President. No one wanted to say anything as soon as the president took the stage, after all, he is the person that no one should annoyed at this point, especially when their lives were now hanging on the line. Still to the Alemia refugees this is a moment that they all have been waiting for, perhaps the this is the time that their prayers will be heard by the President and quite possible changed their lives forever. So, with everyone watches, the president now took a step forward towards the wall edge and right now he was visible to everyone from both side.Also at the top wall, the radio broadcast team were also on there, currently the designated reporter for this occasion, reporter Vincent John were airing this moment live on the radio news for the entire world to hear and listen. Also currently at the same time, the Aeternum Noble association volunteers and the Aeternum Cathedral of Faith volunteers are a
Finally when the President of Aeternum speaks about the truth that none of the refugees were to be blamed for everything that had happened, to the refuges they all felt like finally they were heard, their feeling of injustice and unfairness were addressed truly and finally their have their own voice that really matters. This is the first time in a long time that they were in an audience with a true leaders that understood all of them and their peril. It was snow that all of the refugees finally and truly believed that Aeternum is really a superior nation compared to Alemia Nation, and it convince all of them even more that if they all lived under The president ruled, then their future and lives will be guaranteed.“That’s right your Highness!…it’s true!…we are all just people who wanted to survive!…our ruler has failed us to many times!….me and my child were shooed out by the barons after he killed my husband and son in war!…please your highness….please!…I can’t lived under those mons
“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
