Getting the box of food aid that contained so many things inside, be it the canned foods of meats and vegetables than paired it sacks of grains, then soaps and other essentials. For the poor and oppressed people of Sunders City, the box were akin to a luxury gifts from Aeternum. And for the people, their immense joy and happiness as they got these food aid, were blinding to the Aeternum officials, which by now, were naturally happy to see that they can bring joy to people. The Immigration Officials were always known to the people as the Aeternum department that always be labeled as evil, as they were always be the one that were expelling people and denying people from entering or even continues living in Aeternum, so to be treated like this, positively is a new sensation the them.“Thank you, officer!…thank you!….this…this…”.(Drake Agosto)Drake and his family members were kneeling on the ground profusely saying thanks to Officer Antonio and also to the other officials behind him.“It
Currently at the mid noon in Sunders City, the city streets that has been barren and void of the Sunders City citizens, for 1 and a half day, are now slowly come life, as people started to calmly goes outside of their home. Naturally not many dared to venture out far from their neighbourhood, as the sight of the unmoving Aeternum Soldiers that were stationed at each junctions of the streets put a wary in their hearts and mind, no one wanted to dare a fate. Furthermore, despite the soldiers were not, Sunders City Soldiers that had haunted them with fear for so long, it was a soldiers at the end, so they were still a little bit apprehend to approached the Aeternum Soldiers.Drake Agosto and the Wigan brothers that were housed just in front of each others, came out of their house and stand beside the street, along with other husbands of the houses in their streets, naturally since it has been a long time since the men haven’t meet face to face and chat, they instantly chatting amongst th
Baron Sunders at the moment, were still stunned and in the midst of processing everything that had happened to him. He had fallen to Aeternum, without even a single chances to retaliate or even to react, in a flash an Aeternum agents broke into his mansion, slaughtered all his guards caught him, his family and all of his loyal followers like it was nothing. He was then being brought before the President of Aeternum, being lambasted by him, and then being thrown inside his own mansion dungeon, along with his family and retainers, chained up to the wall inside a cell. Through the entire night, he can’t even sleep even a wink, an empty expression were decorating his faces the entire time, until now.“….Baron Sunders…get up….”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Huh?…what?….why?…”.(Baron Sunders)Puzzled and bewildered, Baron Sunders cell and all his retainers and his family were opened, by Aeternum soldiers, and the one that lead them were Holgun Iron Horn, a face who Baron Sunders remem
The sight of Baron Sunders and his cronies chained up and being paraded on the city street, like a common criminals were a sight that no one in the city could even fathom of. This kind of situation and treatment were usually reserved by criminals, and sometime even themselves, the people had a fair share to see their family members that were unjustly verdict and charges by the Baron on the other nobles being paraded the same way that they were did right now. The people for sure right now were feeling refreshed to see a new sight, before them. And at the same time, this sight also bolstered the people support and trust towards Aeternum governance.It was also need to be reminded that, today, since the forbid of leaving the house were lifted, there were also some citizen that come from outside the city of Sunders came to the city. As there were those that live in nearby town and village at the time of the war were actually come from the city, or just the people come to the city for thei
As scheduled, the Trial for Baron Sunders will started at 2 in the afternoon, since I still have a lot of things to do in the meantime. Naturally, I intentionally let Baron Sunders and his cronies being paraded through the city street, after all, it is the only way that I can let the people release their frustration on him, beside where else can the got the chance to do it, after all once this trial is over he would be sentenced by me, once that is done no one can do anything to him at all. At the same time, it is also something to help me and Aeternum gain more favour from the people, giving them the sense of retribution and fulfillment to end their frustration and suffering is one way for sure to gain that favour.“Justice!!…Justice!!…Death to Sunders!…Death to Sunders!!…”.(Sunders City People)“Woah….that is quite loud…”.“Well, Sir….the entire city and more were here, in the Square….in fact they also walked with the parade all the way to here….and they all are really fired up…”.(H
Sunders City Square that is now has already being turned into an impromptu court room, are now, completely surrounded by Aeternum soldiers at all side. And naturally and also thankfully, the masses knew to behaved themselves despite their current explosives emotions, and they knew to stand behind the barricades that were erected around the square. But still this does not hindered the people emotions and also their hurling words of insults. Some wanted to throw and just stoned the accused even now, but that action were forbid by the Aeternum soldiers, so they had to shelved that intention and just stayed content with just venting out their anger by shouting insult and slurs at Baron Sunders and his people.Everyone were getting too riled up at the moment, that many were not able to realized the changed of atmosphere in the scene. All Aeternum soldiers that has been in a relax stance, changed to ready and gripped their Firearms tightly, and stood straight in an orderly manner. Holgun Ir
At the moment, when the people of Sunders City finally laid their eyes on the man of the stage, many of them were simply just stunned by him. The President of Aeternum, or more known to many as the King of Aeternum, which compared to many monarch out there, he is a very unique one, he is not just young, but very talented, intelligent and also very mysterious person. This is the man that form a nation, that became so successful and so powerful that there already beaten other nation by miles and years ahead of them. And truly, like any Aeternum civilian said in their words, once you saw the President, you will never forget him at all. After all, he got the looks, the mind and the charisma like no other, and for the people of Sunders City, only now, that they felt like they were standing before a true Royalty.“All may settled down and at ease….This Court will begin the Proceeding at once….all must stay silence and behaved during the process, as this is a Court of law…and a fair trials….
From the start when Baron Sunders were brought to his knees before, The President of Aeternum, who is now the Judge of the court, ever single spoken word were nothing but a shocking revelation one after another. The secrets of his rises and his shameful origins where he hides like a cowards, his abuse and assault to his own people and those that dared to opposed him. The crime of his family members and vassal, the tyranny, the killing the kidnapping, the scheme and lies were all being brought out, with no mince words at all, and even more convincing and mind bending to everyone, is that every single crime that he does, were accompanied with concrete proof, an image, recording video, witness testimony, everything were complete, rendering the Baron, at all time just unable to reply to anything and refute anything at all, aside than opened his mouth to beg for mercy.“.…And after all that crime you did….even after you stole all the Aid that Aeternum government and the donations that Aete
“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
