When Major Fontana reported to me that the mission of taking over the region were far more easier, than actually taking care the current region situation, now that is quite a headache to me. But it was a situation that were already under my calculations, when the governing body were that unreliable, what do you can expect on the environmental situation, naturally it got even much worst. The monster and dungeon population in Eastern Alemia is on an uncontrollable number, why, it is because they did nothing to quell it at all, in fact, by 80 percent, it was confirmed that the entire region were of threat of getting stampede at any time. I expected this to be the situation from the very beginning already, so I am rather calm about it, as I already have a lot of precaution steps ready for such situations. So I am quite relaxed about it, hence after hearing their reports, everyone retreat for the night of rest and recovery.As the morning comes, officially the second day of war has started
At this point it was very clear that, on the matter of the population, the people of Alemia Nation that were in the territory that were just conquered, were just fine, with us replacing their old ruler and lord, and on multiple occasion they even glad and happy that we did. So on that matter were are already doing more than good at the moment, now it is come to the matter of the city itself. To me, from what I can see so far, the city infrastructure and conditions, is quite bad and severe, sure the wall and the gate that were destroyed add to the many list that need to be fixed, but over all, at the end of the day, the destruction that we did, just merely added to the already mountains of list that need to be addressed as soon as possible.“The City on the other hand…well….it is in a sorry state at the moment….we need to rebuilt the wall for now..that is one of my concerning situations…I am sure that on Pearl City would be the same as well….right?..”.(Grand General Bina)“[The same go
At the moment, the cooperative nature of the Alemia People were not without any reasons at all, by all means they knew how good it is to live under my governance. They have experienced it once before, and by now everyone they know, all left their homes and go to Aeternum to start a new life, and these people shown them just how right their decisions were.. On top of that, living under their lords and nobles has been proven to be miserable for them, and now with the changed of new government, surely everyone hope for a change, that will led them all to a better life. Meaning, that they are all more than ready to accept Aeternum governing on them, and more than ever right now, we too should show that we are welcoming them as well, so Elijah suggestion, is rather appropriate and well timed.“After suffering for come times now….they got no money and food….this little labour works…would be a break that they need…is what you were saying, Elijah?..”.“[Yes..the people need to know that many
Andrea had pushed forward a very attractive idea, as Aeternum is using Credits as a currency and already spread the concept to the allied nation, in Aeternum the old money, or the Continental Coins is no longer being used in Aeternum, in fact. For everyday use it was basically useless in Aeternum, but that does not meant the We do not used it, we do used them in international transactions, other nation that does not affiliated themselves with Aeternum, which is a lot of them. Still uses the Continental Coins, and beside from trading with the other nation using said coins, the Gold Coins that we obtained, is also a funds that I brought back to earth to constantly fund my business. Andrea suggested that at the same time we stabilized the masses, we should also implemented the Credits Card system, which is Aeternum Currency at the same time.Which is a brilliant idea from her, so not only we started the effort to make the Alemia people become more absorb and inclusive into Aeternum natio
The plan that I have for this war is quite unique, which is advance, conquer and assimilate, in Central Continent, no one had ever done this type of strategy before, and it was because they never thought about it, they never able to do it and can’t afford to even do it, in both manpower and funds. But Aeternum can do it, as we can rely on military power alone, to just hold on the war, Aeternum can do anything as we wanted in this war. So I planned the war, that it can be over in just 2 months in the maximum and 1 month in minimum. In original plans, as the army that I led, move slowly to the central Alemia nation, that is by now already being surrounded, the area I left behind will slowly be turned into Aeternum land.And perhaps, finally after I conquered the Central Alemia Region and thus the entire Alemia Nation, perhaps in 2 months time, the assimilation process would be ended. That is the current plans, of which I take into a careful consideration, that Alemia Nation would at lea
Today early morning meeting went off and end productively, thanks to many discoveries so far, the war can be adjusted more appropriately so that it can benefits us to the fullest. Naturally the things that we came up today, would not be able to be implemented today, as it was rather rushed, but perhaps by tomorrow, everything can proceeds as planned. Still, leaving aside the meeting alone, today, I have a lot of work to do, and I had to make sure that everything is on track, so that we can move along nicely. At the moment, I am still inside the Audience Hall, as I ate my breakfast as I do my work, Bina and Eliza were already moved out to secure the entire Eastern Region fully, as Fontana already handled the resistance yesterday, it was time to solidified everything and manage everything to perfections.“Your Highness, I have Supervisor Randy with me…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Sure, come here….”.At the moment, Holgun has turned into my secretary and also my butler for now. I did not ushere
It has been one day passed after Aeternum Army came and conquered Sunders City, it was known to all of the Sunders City inhabitants that the President of Aeternum were also present in the assault, and he was seen leading the Aeternum Army itself on the front line and many saw him as he walk into the city. To everyone, the battle itself were just and eye opening experience to everyone, they have never seen a war, a battle that started so fast and so intense, that it shook the very ground itself. Aeternum war machine tore opened the Gates and the wall of Sunders City like it was nothing, and every single time Aeternum Army move forward, the ground itself shaking as if fearing the mighty army.In just a single day, the Tyrant Baron Sunders that everyone thought would be reigning for infinity, all the bad things he had done, the injustice that he and his people had done, that seems would be prolonged forever. In just a single day, Aeternum Army tore that invincible image to shred, the sol
Aside from Ava and Annie who had advanced in their life, all thanks to Aeternum and the recent changed in the government. The rest of Sunders City were also changing for the better, the fall of Baron Sunders and the rise of Aeternum as the new ruler, blows a new wind of change for everyone. Despite the blaring warning that sounded all over the city, telling everyone not to come out of their homes, the people of Sunders City were still in bright mood. It is because everyone truly believed that with Aeternum here everything would turned to be better, and all they had to do is just wait for that moment to come. At the moment, it was daytime, just late in the morning, but the only one that were out on the street were Aeternum soldiers, there were patrols and checkpoint made all over the city, and since yesterday, the Aeternum soldiers had basically turned the city upside down to hunt down, every single Sunders City Soldiers and guards, as well as all the Nobles that were related to Baron
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
