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
“Have you tell him not to do some crazy shit?…”.“Well I did, Sir…I told the Bishop to just keep it on the downlow for now…and you were only going to meet with all the head Priest and Shaman for now….”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Okay….and then what did he said?…”.“He just said yes….and that is it….but he is certainly shocked and speaks loudly as he said ‘yes’….certainly that is not at all a bad omen right?…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“I guess so?…let’s just wait…..hold on, who the is the Bishop again?…”.“it’s Bishop Agabo….an Orc high shaman…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Oh…it’s him…that guy is cool…”.If it’s Bishop Agabo and he is an Orc High Shaman, then it is fine. After all, an Orc High Shaman or just Orc Shaman in general, all of them were just a bunch of constantly high on drug, folks. That is right, Orc Shaman is just a bunch of wise old orc that smokes a lot of mushroom and drugs and always chill about everything. But even thought they were amongst the carefree bunch these Shaman were still bulk
“Your highness, it is time for us to leave..”.(Holgun Iron Horn)After an hour, it was time for me to depart from my new mansion. As always like a ceremony when the staffs know I am about to leave, the all come out to see me off. So the car are now waiting in front of the Mansion door, all the 4 SUV neatly parked in order, along with all the Secret Service agent as well.“Have a save trip, Your Highness….”.(Alfred Monticello)“Thank you, Alfred…take care of the estate for me….though I am just going to step out for a little bit…”.Alfred had already been here for a few days now, and as always he was here to trained all the Mansion staff to what he said his standard of service. The guy won’t settle for the previous staffers standard, as he said, the people that served the royals of Aeternum must only be the best of the best, and for certain he had made sure that every single staff evolved to be a better one. And surely he had shown that result and I have seen the change personally.“Alr
“Holgun…when will we be buying all the property on this district?…I see a lot of property here still…”.“it is still in the process sir…but rest assured the reception from the seller is very positive…soon enough, we will acquired all the property here and then we can start the housing project…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“That is great…when the first apartment complex were completed, the people will be more excited to go along with our development process…”.“That is within our expectation as well…these people loved being at high area…all the reports concerning reaction from their ride in Airship said so..”.(Holgun Iron Horn)Flipping a realty in a fantasy world is very fun, as I bringing the modern structure here, to this world the people reaction is just so fun to see. Every time they saw a new thing that I brought to life, it just took their breath away and then that would become a controversial topic that everyone would be discussing for a long time. Not to mention that a lot of stuff tha
No one can resist the modern comfort, and everyone would be captivated by it. Not only that the benefits that it brought just made everyone forgot about their previous hardship, that is why Aeternum citizens loves Aeternum and what it brought to the table for them. The drive to the Eastern side of the city were a bit slower, given that there is so many people in the city at the moment, and right now, the purpose of the road were not yet being solidified yet, so there were more people that just walked on the road.At this time, I am not that much in a hurry at all, and relatively calm, so I rush no one at all, we can just take this time to just stroll down the city and take in all the scenery. Naturally I needed this kind of moment, to get the whole picture of the current situation of the city. At this moment, it was very well apparent that the city were getting redeveloped and rebuild from the ground up on many part of the city. Given an old city with the old standard of building, it
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
