“Now…that is some good news that I have been waiting to here……just that it comes from an unexpected source…”.I got all sort of plants, I brought from Earth, ranging from flowers and herbs all the day down to the medicinal plants. Everything that is why my Palace ground has been continuously being expand, and my Greenhouse and garden takes the most space in all the infrastructure.“Still….I can’t believe that you actually brought some good stuff, in that medicinal herbs from earth, Master…..that Ginseng…it has just become some otherworldly treasure…”.(Andrea)“Wait..What?…”.I am a little bit stunned by Andrea clear amazement, on top of that Elijah also spoke in the same manner, showing just how surprised they were.“You know, That oddly looking root herbs that you brought….turns out that herbs actually worth more than we thought, after Yggdrasil evolved it..…that Ginseng have the effects of reversed aging, beautify physical appearance, cleansing the one body and then improved one phy
“You know, That oddly looking root herbs that you brought….turns out that herbs actually worth more than we thought, after Yggdrasil evolved it..…that Ginseng have the effects of reversed aging, beautify physical appearance, cleansing the one body and then improved one physical strength and also Mana constitutions…it even have a strong virility enhancement and also cure infertility…it is so amazing…”(Andrea)“Wait…really?…”.“That is correct, Master….Rafaela herself has tested that herbs….and it was already confirmed to work and have all the intended effects..….I guess, even on earth…there is a lot of marvellous herbs there..”.(Elijah)“.….Yeah, Sure….”.Now, I am just secretly flabbergasted right now, all because of that Ginseng, which is thanks to Yggdrasil magical touch, she had just turned that herbs into a legendary items. Actually, that Ginseng, is something that I got from Lee Han Na, when she visited me once, it was just a 20 Years old Ginseng that comes in a set box of 10 Gin
“Master….calm down…..”.(Elijah)As if she can hear the gears inside my head were turning faster and faster, Elijah had to call me out and had me settled back down to reality.“Oh…thank you, Elijah….hearing that good news…just send my thought into an Overdrive….but still….those Evolved Ginseng….sure can help me a lot back on earth….my business there needs it….”.“Certainly…from what I heard….Earth weren’t as precarious as Fantasma….I guess there, there were a lot of people with many health problems?…”.(Elijah)“They sure are…”.“Even more people with sexual problems, right?…”.(Andrea)“...well….there were not shortage of those people with such problem…”.Andrea said smiling, her comment also put a shy smile on Elijah face. Even in Fantasma there are still men and women that have some reproductive organ related problems, but if I were to pay attention to it carefully, Earth does have high rate than on Fantasma. In Fantasma, it is common and normal for family to have at least 3 children,
“I will try to bring more plants with me later on when I got back…surely we can make something up with them…”.“That is a great idea, Master….bring back more food related herbs….those things were marvelous….those thyme when it evolved and we start selling them in the market…..it has brought a lot of profits to us….it even changed a lot of our culinary culture….”.(Andrea)“Hence…we really need a much more land…and preferably the already fertile and suitable land for us to farm….We already have plans to open the Second Agriculture Region…in Alemia Region…..since those idiots doesn’t know what to do with what they have..we should just take over everything…”.(Elijah)One can really sensed the seething anger from Elijah words, she is already annoyed enough by Alemia nation, and also rather than calling it a nation, she just mentioned it as a Region, she is already calling it apart of Aeternum as if it was already set in stone already. And personally I can’t correct her at all, as that is t
“We will take over everything…soon…for now, I have decided to assimilate everything before we advances….since the enemy has given us the chances to do it…so why not just do it…it would made everything much more simpler for us……..by the way…since you were talking about this….I am sure that you both already have that Second Agriculture region planned out..right?…”.“Of course we already have planned for it…..detailed even….the best area for us to utilized the land for the Agriculture development…is the current Eastern Region and stretch all the way to the Southern Region of Alemia…the Rivers will provide us with fresh water, needed for the farmland….we already checked and that land were fertile enough to be used…”.(Andrea)They are not kidding at all when they said that they already have everything planned out. If I were to asked for the papers for it, they would already gave it to me before my eyes. Still the land that they are wanted to use, is quite appropriate one, nearly all the ri
“For the mean time, as long as I still stayed in that Area…I can at least have the soldiers to cleaned up the surrounding….after that, you all can just take over from that…..only after we are done with this war….by then and only then..I can returned back to help…”.Sure reclaiming that land is important, but the war take precedence for now, and I need to focused on that, although the difficulty were a bit flimsy, still I don’t want to be caught unaware, after all in war even the slightest mistake can cause misfortune.“I understand, fret not….with my ministry arrangements….I can reclaimed all those land there…there were millions of Mercenaries that is constantly swarming out Mercenary Association…we can just make use of that….”.(Andrea)“Hmm…using the Mercenaries, is also a good idea….and if those mercenaries took contract from our Associations…then…I am sure that there would be no problem at all….”.“...Sure there probably will served no problem at all….but I am not going to take tha
“Personally….I’m with Mina over here, on this matter Andrea…no matter how sound your plans is…..That region needs some organization first….the people..the land…were just all messed up….if we let that land come into contact with the mercenaries….there will be a lot of mess for us to deal with…”.I let that words of mine sinks in for a little bit. Sure the mercenaries can come in now, but in all honesty, even if they comes in they will have to stay in some major town or city for now. I don’t want another issues to come up, after all, in these world the mercenary were borderline messed up, no matter how famous they are and how they were famed, none of them ever come close to my standard of acceptable. While the current population of Alemia after my purge were mostly female right now, when those borderline messed up mercenaries comes in, I am pretty sure some trouble will surely comes up, in one way or another.“Well….If you put it that way….I guess I should wait then….but still, please d
“Oh…Dukedom is agreeing that fast?…that is quite surprising…”.I am genuinely surprised with Dukedom of Angela eagerness in wanting to conduct a trade in regards to the prisoners of war with us. Then again, when dealing with that matriarchal nation, their moves has always puzzled me a lot.“It was quite understandable as to why they were eager about it…”.(Andrea)“Oh really?…why?…”.Andrea seems to know something about the hurried response from Dukedom of Angela, so I urged her to continue with it.“They just overhauled, a massive chunk of their very own economic society….they just purged a lot of business….and have personally took ownership almost all the business that they have purged….so they want to covered that hole on their own…by their own people and rules….so that should explained the need of a massive labour force…”.(Andrea)“That’s right….and then, there Is the maintaining their new River routes, that connected to us….they need to allocate some of their security personnel th
At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums weren’t full. People didn’t understand why they should care. But then… he first matches were broadcasted on television. And suddenly, everything changed.For the first time, people saw their own cities competing. New City United vs. Shark Bay FC. Ironridge Titans vs. Silverport Eagles. Blazing Tundra vs. Redwood Strikers.It wasn’t just football anymore—these were their cities, their teams, their pride. And when fans saw their teams winning, they felt the rush of victory. When they saw their teams losing, they felt the bitterness of defeat.The spark had been ignited. Soon enough… Supporters’ clubs started popping up. Fans flooded stadiums on weekends. People debated tactics in bars, cafes, and workplaces. Children started dreaming of becoming professional players.Saturdays and Sundays were now known as Football Days, where everyone tuned in to watch their favorite teams battle for supremacy.The AFL wasn’t j
“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
