On the Pearl City dock area, the entire area were already being occupied by Aeternum Navy, the Aeternum ships and warship were already anchored on the shore, any ships that were on the vicinity were either sunken or just being pushed to the side as the Aeternum ships take their places. In just 5 minutes, the dock area and the Western Side of the city has already fully under Aeternum occupation, the one that were leading the assault, were the Navy Marine Division 1, lead by Commander Barika, Known in the Aeternum Royal Navy as the Sailing Orc. As Barika were an Orc, yet as a race that never really be seen on a ship, on a water body, Barika were a unique ones.“No…no..no!….I..I..surrender!…please!…Plea..AAARRRGHHHHH!!!!……..”.(Head bashed Pearl City Soldier)“I don’t give a heck what you said…..don’t you ever dared surrender to me….”.(Commander Barika)Commander Barika were leading his fellow marines, spear heading the battle with ferocity like no other. Everywhere he an
As Commander Barika and the Navy Marine Division 01 were moving forward and started to scour the entire Pearl City. Back inside the Navy Warship Command, Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon were calmly overlooking the entire battlefield, for Duchess Kolarova Qoon is nor one that is foreign to battle and war, but even for her, the style of modern battlefield, that Aeternum practice and the modern weaponry that Aeternum posses, totally had caught her off guard. Never in her wildest thought to witness that the cannon that she knew to be the weakest of the artillery canon on the ships, were able to just blasted through the entire western wall of the Pearl City, in just a single salvo.“Looks like Commander Barika were at it again……and…..we have come ashore…..all Navies Unit has come ashore and formed the attack front…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)On the Screen, inside the main cabin of the Warship command, some of the display monitor were showing the entire battlefield, all the airship has been deploy
Inside the norther region of the Pearl City, where the noble’s Streets were located as well as the city administration centre were, The Situation inside this particular area were just in full alert. When the Western wall has fallen, and then the Aeternum attacks spread through out the entire city in a blitz style fashion. The soldiers and guards of the city, they all ran towards these area, in both wanting to defend it as per their duty and also to seek for safety and order. In front of the City Administration centre, the Pearl City Guards and Soldiers were all over the place, and of the many, about 70% of those that were here were all badly injured.“W…what happened to the Western, Southern and Eastern Region of the city?…is..is all of them has fell to the enemy?…”.(Baron Julian Pearl)The news of Aeternum Navy has attacked the city, were not an old news at all, for the entire city. Baron Julian Pearl, is the heir to Count Pearl, and also his Son in Law, and also the Commander of the
From the moment, Aeternum came to attack the Pearl City, and from the second the western wall fall, everyone in the city already knows and convinced that the Pearl City has already lost and defeated. For the Pearl City Guards and Soldiers, as well as all the noble that led the city, especially Baron Julian Pearl, it was only a matter of time, when the Aeternum would arrived before them and their fates will be decided by the victor of this particular battle. But then the fast advancing Aeternum army, suddenly just stopped, shy away from their decisive victory. And thus when the Aeternum army just suddenly stopped moving and advance, to end the battle that would be definitely ended on their side, Everyone, including Baron Julian Pearl, were baffled by the sudden stoppage.“The Aeternum soldiers has stopped moving forward!…”.(Pearl City Soldier)“Huh?…why?….what is going on?…”.(Baron Julian Pearl)“I don’t know, My Lord……they just suddenly stopped moving forward all of a sudden….they hav
“HMPH!…spineless as always!…tell them we surrendered when they came to us…it worked out once…and this time it will too………You….Huh?…what is that?….”.(Countess Hillary Pearl)Whilst everyone were annoyed and filled with anger by Countess Hillary Pearl, that just decided on her own to come out and berated everyone before her. Their conversation and the entire atmosphere of the area around the front of the City Hall were brought to screeching halt, as Countess Hillary Pearl oddly stopped in her mid sentences and looked up to the sky in bewilderment, her gesture and action were so odd, that everyone were also doing the same thing as her and looked up to the sky, and upon their findings, everyone just stunned at the sightings.“...What in the hell is that?…”.(Baron Julian Pearl)“It was like a fireball spell……but why is it so fast?…..and…is it heading right at us?….”.(Knight Deputy Rogers)Up in the sky, trailing in a perfect parabola arc, everyone can see a bright light flying in the sky,
In Pearl City, the second as the missile explodes all over the Northern end of the city, the bright lights, booming sounds and also the shock-waves that were produces by the explosion woke up the entire city itself. The city inhabitants that has been obeying Aeternum army command to stay in their homes and cooperates, can only looked out of their windows and observed as the Northern end of the city being bombarded to oblivion. As for the reaction to this event, for the people of Pearl City, it was a little bit of mixed, more like 90% were happy with it and 10% were worried and also disheartened by this bombing. But one thing that is confirmed for sure that to many, they were seeing the fall of the Northern region of the city, as a brand new start for the entire city.“.….Is that it?…….so now….the Count Pearl reign has ended?…”.(Old Mark)A the porch of an old store that were at the edge of the Central Region of the city that is at the entrance of the Northern Region, Mark was an old m
Just like the relief and smiles that were on Old Mark faces when the sight of the Northern End of the city were blown up, meant that the city is now liberated from their dark times and the oppressive rules, that is surely will now begin a new era in the city. The rest of the Pearl City were also in the same mood as well, everyone already get over the fact that the nobles and the ruler of the city are dead and there soon will be a changed in scenario and atmosphere in the city. Hence rather than tension and fear, the atmosphere in the entire city changed to rather excitement and anticipation, in the eyes of the people that were overlooking and observing the Aeternum soldiers that were on the street, dealing with the remaining Pearl City Guards and soldiers, or even those soldiers that were moving about everywhere.The people no longer sees them with fears and uncertainty in their eyes, but rather a calm gaze and everyone just seems to be waiting for the Aeternum moves. But fears is no
When anyone lays an eye to the once known place as the Pearl City, City Hall which is now only remained as a large crater. Everyone would come to a decision that no one that were hit in that crater would ever be alive and kicking by now. The explosion has obliterated everything that can be harm with a surety, when Commander Barika and Major Orel arrived at the scene, all that they can do is just whistled, as surely no one would be alive from that kind of explosions. But often time, when it comes to a fantasy world that is filled with magics, nothing really goes as one wanted, as these magics can sometime defy logic.“We were able to secured Baron Julian Pearl body….well he is dead already by now….but…here is the body…”.(Aeternum Marine)“Wow…it stayed intact, even after that?..”.(Major Orel)Major Orel as well as other soldiers that were on the scene were astound as well, Baron Julian Pearl Body were still fully intact, with no limbs disappeared at all. But once the pulse were checke
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.

“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
