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
In Pearl City, for the entire morning it can be said that that time were one of the most tense period of time in their lives. From early morning to the noon, the war were still undergoing in full swing, but then after the noon, the sound on the city started to slowed down. Naturally the inhabitants of the city were still not allowed to get our of their home. And Aeternum soldier can be seen all over the roads patrolling and rounding up the Pearl City Soldiers and guards, and every time the people peer out to the streets, all that they can see were Aeternum soldiers and their machinery were all over the places and also the Airships were also up on the sky, comes and goes.At the same time, in the Northern Region of the Pearl City, a massive cleaning up and land clearance were on progress. The Aeternum Navy engineers were on the full swing at the moment, to set up a Forward Operating Base, for the Southern Region of Alemia Nation. Pearl City will be the main base of Aeternum force in th
On the same day when the Pearl City fall at the Southern Alemia Region, just as the entire Aeternum and also the Central Continent knows. The army that were led by the President of Aeternum were also felled a city that is belonged to the Alemia Nation, much faster than anyone ever did, and it happened in just 5 hours after the President and the Aeternum army march into the Alemia Nation territory. No one has ever sees or even heard that a city would fall in just 5 hour after the war started, and Aeternum had shown to the entire world that such feat can definitely be done. 5 hour ago, when the the President just finished his speech and declaration of war that were aired all over the central continent, he finally moved out with the army in tow, and it was a tale that would be remembered forever and showed everyone in the world, what Aeternum is really capable of.5 hours ago, 9.00 am.As the speech and my declaration of war, end. No one wanted to waste anymore time to delayed anything a
For the first part of the war, namely the first few days of the war, I wanted everything to be aired and reported live in the radio and holographic broadcast, so that everyone can see just how serious we are in this war. And one way to achieved that is to just bring the filming crew with me, as I ride into the fight. Naturally the crew is also here to record the entire war, as this war will definitely had to be archived into a history of Aeternum. Hence, Paul and his crew will be flying with me as he record everything, naturally many part will have to be secrets, since the Radio broadcast would also aired all over Alemia Nation, but I definitely wanted the fall of Sunder City to be reported live.“Ladies and Gentlemen of the Listeners….I, DJ Skelly are now reporting to you live…from up above the sky!….at the moment, Aeternum Army led by His Highness President Mies….has already marched into the Alemia Nation territory!….the war against the Alemia Nation is now has officially started!….
As the President of Aeternum were marching with the Aeternum Army and entered the Alemia Nation territory, In Alemia Capital City, the Queen Romella Faction were already in a chaotic mood. As always being a slow and idiotic and egoistic as they were, they thought that they may have a time to just think over everything, as by now, they already knows that Aeternum is coming for the entirety of Alemia Nation, but still Queen Romella and Prime Minister Wilfrid Strong were hoping that there might be some hope for them, to be saved and probably able to remained in power, when the Aeternum come for them. By now it is not a matter of IF Aeternum would come to the Capital City, but a matter of when they come.“...You know….we…we can just make contact with them….and you know…asked them for an assistance or something…..can that be done?…”.(Queen Romella Amelia)“Yeah!…yes!…it think so too….surely the President would be magnanimous again right?…”.(Prime Minister Wilfrid Strong)At the moment, the
On the Western Region of Alemia Nation, at the edge of the Gust Family territory, the situation there at the moment, couldn’t be anymore contrasted to the entire Alemia Nation, instead of gloom and depression and also fear. The people were actually out on the street celebrating the coming of Aeternum ruling on them. The Gust city were in full on celebration mode at the moment, as for the entire city and the people, unlike the entire Alemia Nation, they have been wanting to be apart of Aeternum for far too long, before they were only a wannabe citizens of Aeternum, but now, surely they are already about to become one. Or rather already in a progress to became a true Aeternum citizens.“The other region sure is messed up a big time…to have the President uttered such declaration…”.(Marian)“They sure did….Aeternum really are going to war now…sooner or later, the entire Alemia will be able to joined Aeternum governance….at last, peace and prosperity would come to this land….what a wonderf
“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
