In a certain hidden tavern, at the Alemia Nation Capital, Alemia City, the tavern were packed with people to the point that there were those that were standing all over the place, since the table were all occupied. But despite the tavern was full, there are barely any noise at all, because at this time, the windows and doors to the tavern were shut tight, and the only loud noise that were echoed were the Radio. Thanks to the recent moves by the Aeternum government to saved those refugees, the Alemia Queen has decreed that no one are permitted to listened to the radio, it was now a crime punishable with imprisonment. It was also known that many families and tavern owners has been dragged to the prison because of this new decree. But despite all that, no one wants to give up their source of entertainment and true information. Thus this has give birth to a trend, where silent taverns now operating.“God gracious me….millions?…that is just mind numbing to me….those refugees sure do have i
For most people, especially the masses, the common people, the moment they heard that Monster Stampede were quelled and stopped, what comes to their minds is safety. No more monsters, then life can go on as it is and peace continues, it is definitely a good thing and one they always hoped. Everyone loves a world without any trouble, just so they can live peacefully, in this world and era, peace and safety is very rare. Even living in a big city for an instance, trouble and harm always persist everywhere, annoyance as it is, but so is the world that everybody lives in. But to those that played with power, money and influences, the fact that Aeternum has stopped and decimated a Stampede of such portions, means something else entirely.In Visma Nation for example, the Lord of the Northern Visma as of this moment, can no longer sit still, hearing the news of Aeternum vanquishing the Stampede that he hoped would shaken things around a little bit. Duke Racall Yulga, can’t help but massaging
At the same time in Angel City, Dukedom of Angela another matter were current being discussed by the Ruler of Dukedom, Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein together with a lot of people coming from multiple country that were allied with Aeternum as well as Dukedom, all the allied nation that were on the west side of Aeternum converged into this single audience room, with Queen Duchess at the helm of it all. Today instead of discussing matters about war, peace or trouble, they were all discussing another matter, which is trades and economy, as the result from Aeternum recent glory.“Alright, Everyone settle down!…I am glad that everyone are here to answer my call, despite the short notice…But this matter needs to be discussed today and we all must reached a united decisions…as you all know…our good friend ways is….despite their kindness and amiable ways…when it comes to business they were just like a fox…so, we need to decide now, and move faster…”.(Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein)Everyone
Aeternum for the allied nations, is a very friendly ally, that is very docile and always willing to cooperates with anyone, as long as the relationships composed with mutual respect and fairness. Often times rather than rejecting any offers, Aeternum would mitigate any issues to a rather win win situations. But despite their friendly approach and docile manners, Aeternum also very strict and straightforward with their decisions, when it comes to a refusal, they will do so without any fear or hesitation at all. They are both amiable and also decisive, alerting everyone that Aeternum are very confident with who they are and what they capable of, not to mention, the country were all very united in whatever they do, the citizens were all behind their government, supporting, trusting and willing to fight for them. That is another aspect of Aeternum that made them a reliable ally and also a terrifying foe.Dealing with Aeternum in business is rather always tricky for many allied nations, be
Having Director Victor on the meeting table for the Western Allied union is a blessing. Thanks to him, they were able to get a lot of information, but to be quite honest, leaning that the Aeternum president didn’t hide the fact that he is willing to sell the Tier 4 monster materials, is rather shocking. Mind you that Tier 4 Monsters is quite rare, and no matter what it is, it would always be precious, even the useless slime, when it turned into the Slime Emperor, which is a Tier 4 monster were extremely valuable. That alone speaks just how much precious Tier 4 were, everyone were eyeing the one particular monster, naturally, and that is the Troll King.Troll King blood potion, that were produced by the blood of the Troll King is capable to heal any type of injuries, be it near death injury or comatose, or even curse. A single vial of that potion can heal almost anything except death, but naturally the main ingredients were the Tier 4 Troll King blood, which is very rare. That is why a
Back in Aeternum for some reason the Black House were busy today, it not like it is not constantly busy or anything, but for some reason a lot of Allied Nation leaders were all coming to New City and all of them contacted the Black House for notification and permission. Elijah and Andrea were naturally in the middle of this chaos, with calming and decisive leaderships, they handled everything easily. They can already predicted as to why everyone just suddenly up and running to come to Aeternum all of a sudden. It was mostly because of the Tier 4 monster materials, the most desirable of them all, which is the Troll King. Everyone in the world knows about the Troll King materials preciousness and potency. It’s the only Tier $ monster that gives out materials for simple use for simple things. From healing catalyst, all the way to potent aphrodisiac, materials from Troll King provides it all.“Sister Elijah…the 4 Tier 4 monsters have arrived….2 of those alive though….the Troll King and th
When the topic of their master capability were discussed everyone would secretly wanted to listened about it. The President is like an enigma to many, he was a subject of attentions, but naturally in this fantasy medieval world, despite many accomplishment a man can obtained, Strength is an important factor to everyone. Everyone naturally knows just how strong the First Maiden were, they were the elites of the elite in Aeternum, one that can easily won any fights against their odds, As for the Butler, well for those that were in the Black House, knows that right below the Aeternum Loyal protector, The Earth Ancient Dragon Griksu’um, his name were below that name, In a confidential files. Now to hear that their President can actually contend with not just the 5 Sisters of Aeternum and also the Second protector of Aeternum, and perhaps win, that is a very scary thought.“Sister, What about Master?…will be coming home first, before he went on the river inspections?..”.(Andrea)“He did, w
On the Aeternum Eastern Highway, 5 Presidential SUV were roaring on the road, escorted by the Aeternum Traffic Police at the front and back. Although in Aeternum there were limited numbers of Vehicles both modern ones and also the Horse/Monster powered carriages, there were still a considerable traffic on the roads, it can be said that the Aeternum Ministry official vehicles were mainly using them, from the Resource Minister all the way to the Military vehicle. All those that were using this highway or rather any tar paved roads in Aeternum, knows to give a way to the incoming Motorcade, whenever they saw ones.Because only High Level Aeternum officials and foreign guest would be allowed to have such level of privileges in Aeternum. The motorcade were moving at a decent speed, not too fast or too slow, it was consideration that were arranged by Sareen, just so the President were able to rest fully. Meanwhile inside the one of the SUV, the president were currently carefully reading a l
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
