Governing a newly acquired region is not at all an east task, after all one of the thing that you had to deal with and do is, cleaning all the messes that were left behind from the other predecessor. And in this case, when you were taking over from an incompetent and also useless leader, the mess were quite a lot, on top of the racist and problematic people were like flies and were just all around you, that you need to cleaned up fast. You also need to work hard to make sure that no matter what, you will never lose the people trust in you.In this particular case, the surged of people that comes to work for my government, is quite a lot, and at the moment, the lack of accommodating is really an alarming one, especially when the only city that were undertaking that labour were about to be overrun by the amount of people that are wanting to work to earn their living. Luckily, I kinda guess already that this might happened, so thankfully by just opening the Administration District in onl
On one hand, I need the citizens to be apart of Aeternum as fast as they can so that everything can move on, as it should be, but on the other hand, there were another complication and that is the hassle of the illiteracy of nearly 90% of our new citizens, and in Aeternum which is now already a modern society, not being able to read and write is certainly a big problem. If Aeternum were like any other nation, that didn’t care about their people being dumb, that would be non issues at all, as I can just go all warring with their nation.But now that I wanted the current population to be a part of Aeternum society and integrate these people fully, they need to changed their ways, fast. And on the earliest stage of becoming and Aeternum citizens, is that it will be much more helpful if the new citizens will be able to read and write, as there are a bunch of documents to be filled and managed by themselves properly. And if these new populace can’t read and write, then these will create a
Under my order, Holgun and the staffs move fast and prepared everything as they have done several times before this. Having a meeting via a face time, is certainly out of place in these medieval era, and for those that first saw this they were always mind blown about, and they were even more shocked when they realized that all this happened were not fully because of magic but more so towards the technology. As always I waited for all the set up to finish, and when it does, as always the first one to picked the video call, were as always, Elijah.“Afternoon, Elijah..how are you?…”.“[Afternoon, Master…I am faring just fine…there is not a lot going on here….everyone know to stayed on their lines..especially those outsiders….other than that…everything is good……how are you, Master?….good?..]”.(Elijah)Elijah were in her office right now, and as always looking as flawless as she always does, Sareen and Governess Jelina were also there with her, although they were seated somewhere in the ro
“[Everyone….settle down now….we have issues to solve now…..so Master, please do tell, what is these issues that you have encountered…]”.(Elijah)“Thank you, Elijah…so…this is the issues that we have…at the moment…”.As always the only one that were able to get everyone on track as always were Elijah, and with her words everyone are now back to attention and focused. And so with the attention is now back on me, I started to laid out everything for them to know. I am very serious about this and naturally they had to take it at the same degree that I do, and from my words they also know that this problems is really something that can incite a lot of other type of issues and it needs to be dealt with and fast.“[I see…that is certainly a problem…with the amount of the people that are illiterate…this means, it would create a lot of problems at the administration levels….delays and confusion amongst the new citizens would happen…that is very concerning…]”.(Elijah)“[Not to mention a possibl
Well, Holgun…there is the answer…we will have to bear with the minus point for the populace for now…”.“I supposed so, Your Highness…and I agree, expanding more of our current professional workforce is already a worrying factor….so, using a guide would be much better for now….beside, although the people were illiterate…they still can work and understand thing pretty well…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“That..they sure do, Holgun…”.Using a guide is the only solution for now, and I agreed with what Holgun said, these people can still work and lived just fine with the additional knowledge, there will be a guide to help them to get through what is need to be done. But over the time I am sure that our new citizens will be motivated to learn all by themselves, after all, literacy is one of the core values and also a point that made any Aeternum proud.“Alright, then….let’s put a guideline for all the Guides that would be lending their help in our new citizens future education…although, our citizen t
All that I can say, when in regards of religion, Aeternum citizens are very devout worshipper. Very religious to the point that the belief spread like a wild fire, to the point that if it were left behind, Aeternum might become many religion holy ground. Thankfully I am not taking religion and belief lightly when I made Aeternum, I know that with the openness approach of Aeternum to the freedom of religion, beliefs in my nation would flourish. And I also knows the threat of such approach would bring to the nation stability, this is why I have created the Cathedral of Faith.The creation of Cathedral of Faith is not at all a simple one, but it’s aim are. In Fantasma, there are many religion exist in it, it was safe to say that each races have their own beliefs and pantheon of gods, and in that race, each tribes have their own set of beliefs. And like any religious bunch, they really strict and zealous about their own beliefs. And a lot of religion do deemed other religion as heretic, a
“How many of the Cathedral members were where already?..”.“200 members of them are already here…50 of them were the high priest of all religions and the other 150 is the members and the staffs….about 100 of those members are include in the working of the Cathedral construction process…..well…they were adamant to built that cathedral with their own hands…they said…”.(Holgun)Holgun were a bit weirded out when he mentioned the Cathedral members were adamant of being involved in the building of their own cathedral. And in actuality that is fairly normal, in fact all over Aeternum territory, when ever a cathedral were built, the member of Cathedral of Faith were always there to contribute, be it is monetary ways or the labour way. That is just the way they are, in fact, there were multiple times where they built their own Cathedral by themselves.Essentially if they were a company that dwell in constructions, they would probably stood on the top 5 of construction company in Aeternum. And
At the moment, it was just around 12 pm in the noon, and sure is there is enough time for me to meet with those religious bunch. And knowing them they would surely be happy to meet me as well, well, they always do.“Should I call them first..or would it be a surprised visit?..”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Just call them first and informed that I wanted to meet with the Bishop only…if we surprised them..surely they would go crazy at me…just like before…”.“Just like before?….what happened before, Sir?..”.(Holgun Iron Horn)Talking about those religious bunch do made me a little bit uncomfortable, it was safe to say that for them, I am their biggest star and they were my fan, well, more like a fanatic fans. I remember one time, when I go an visited their Cathedral on a whim, all those priest and shaman were going haywire on me, and when that happened there were some Priest and Shaman that were out of their temple and didn’t know that I was there, and when they found out that I was there. Some o
“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
