We were supposed to arrived at a small village that were closed to the River that we wanted to visit today, but instead when we arrived to the supposed location of that small village, what we saw was a different sight for us to behold. All that we saw before us were just a ruined of a once of a village supposed to be, the wooden houses were lit on fire, that are still burning, the daylight were painted with oranges and red thanks to the fire that were rising to the skies. I can see people on top of a horse, wearing knights armor swing swords at those that were running away. Shouts of man and woman in fear filled the atmosphere, children wails of cries echoed through the area.“Oh..dear lord…….it was a raid….”.(Corporal Jonah)The corporal face that were once riddle with cautious the entire time of his driving are now replaced with just utter disbelief. We are at least a hundred meter away from the village entrance, and we can see all the massacre and evils that were going on in the vi
After i issued my order, I got down from the jeep and walked on the main road to the village, at first Major Fontana and Captain Joan were reluctant and even opposed the idea that I would move on my own, by myself, but after me, just gave them a little taste of my killing aura both of them shut their mouth. They all knew that I am much stronger that the entire squad combined but it was just to let a President/King of their waltz through the battlefield alone, it was not ideal at all for on such as my stature. To me such things weren’t matter at all, if we got more people I wouldn’t opposed to it at all, but currently these mission is time sensitive and need to be taken control fast. So it is best for all of us to do our part.The village surrounding were very poor, and already badly damaged, even before these attacks I can see that these village were barely even surviving. It was a farming oriented village, but their farming field were almost barren. The wheat field got no wheat on th
The knight that I kicked flew about 20 meters away and splat on the side wall of a stone house, he died instantly, I am looking at the pair of mother and daughter both of them were still alive but badly injured both of them were bruised and battered and in a sorry state, both of them were looking at me with smile whilst barely conscious, they didn’t feared me at all, but rather they were pleased and relief to see me standing before them. I took a single vial of healing potion, and feed it to both of them, they were already laying on the ground, barely even able to keep their consciousness. The mother were bare chested, in that moment, she got my interest, she is very well stacked MILF, a farmer kind. But this is no time to think of anything perverted, so I just administered the first aid treatment, by giving them healing potion.Just a single vial for 2 people were enough, for common people who is at tier 0, common healing potion is enough to heal them of any injuries. So I am sure th
About 2 minutes later after the entire enemies were killed the backup arrived, Aeternum soldiers and medical personnel comes out and started to work on everything. The entire village were helped and filled with Aeternum soldiers and personnel, there is a few good news in the village, apparently our interference were still early in the attacks of the village so only about 20% of the villagers were killed and harmed, the rest were still safe, there were many children and woman that were still safe and hidden in their house. Everyone were offered to be sheltered in Aeternum and even offered to become Aeternum citizens, of which all of them accepted, so the moving of the masses begin.As for me, I resumed my scheduled and headed to the river side to inspect everything, along with just Major Fontana and now accompanied by Alfred, he went along with the back up and seeing what had happened he can only shakes his head in disbelief. He said that ho would never take his eyes of me from now on,

All over Aeternum the interest towards the Alemia Kingdom has raised significantly, if before many of the Aeternum just thought of that nation was just a nation of cowards and backstabbers, now people started to wanting to finding out more about that nation and their current situations. In Aeternum alone there is many Alemia Nation immigrants that has become Aeternum citizens, and they too has never said anything good about their government nor even fond of their old nation, each time they shared their stories it would just be nothing but anger and sadness because of the many misfortune that has befallen them and it was all thanks to their abusive nobles and unhelpful royals.After the initial first day that Aeternum Radio Broadcast started to aired about the President current visitation to the Eastern Border and his speech or rather a conversation were aired on the news. More and more expositions were let known to the people all over the Central Continent. People knows that this wor
The entire Central Continent population were massive, and it was even more than Earth billion in estimation of inhabitants, maybe compared to earth the Central Continent population were at least 3 times more or perhaps even more than that numbers. Even a small villages in a small nation would at least have thousands of people, if the Central Continent has one no lacking elements it was the inhabitants of it. The Baron Army that we were up against were more numbered that the 100 soldiers that I led, each encounter that we meet would always outnumbered us in thousands or hundreds. Naturally despite that, we won unanimously every single time. Once we killed the leaders of said army and slaughtered a few of them, the army would just surrendered on the spots.When a report of these incidents were known the the Black House, Elijah and the others started to scramble for solution for these problems and surely enough in a matter of a few hours, they came to a solutions. Which is the ‘Reformati
Whilst I am currently on the phone with Paul, who’s at the broadcasting studio at New City, I am currently standing right beside my personal jeep truck, right outside the 3rd village that we were saving. For this situation, I don’t really have to get involved at all, as all 100 soldiers of mine are more than capable to handled these assault just like the 2nd village that we have saved, earlier these morning. To be quite honest, I wanted to just start the fist phase of the invasion, which is the staging of the attacks and assassination attempts on me in Alemia Nation land.But all thanks to this Stupid Baron Sunders that decided to just stupidly ‘clearing’ his territory by using Aeternum as his reason, I can;t just looked passed it. Aeternum has uphold the image of a heroic nation filled with honour all these time, and it has worked wonders for us, it kept Aeternum standing really high amongst the nation and were considered very honorable among the many royal society.there is a lot of
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
