“At the moment, as our war progressed…The Gust Region, which is under my governing…are doing perfectly well…all of our border whether it is sided to the Central Alemia or our other borders, all of it were well guarded and following the protocol…..so far we have no monster outbreak, no Dungeon breaks as well…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Congratulations, Governor Duke Oliver…but what about the Crime rates in your region…I am hearing that recently there is an increase of Bandits…”.(Minister Mina)“Thank you for your Question, Madam Minister Mina, about that increased of Bandits…we have determined that those folks hailed from the Southern Region…It seems that our Forces in Southern Region has been harsh to them…and thus they chose to run into my territory…but it would not be an issue at all…The Police Force paired with my Oliver Family Knights are in a cooperation to cull these Bandits numbers…surely we can expect a good news in a few weeks time..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)As Always
“Cabinet Hall, now welcome, His Highness President Mies to the stage…”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)Naturally as for the starter as usual, the Cabinet members welcomed me their standing ovation and cheers as always.“Thank you, My fellow Countrymen and women, for your warm welcome…I must say, I am very pleased and happy to see all of our Cabinet members were working hard and devoted to your duties…despite our nation are in a very busy state….to that, as your President…I thank you all…”.“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..It’s our Honor, to do so, Your Highness…”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)As always, it is crucial to show an appreciation to those that are working hard behind the scene, and with that little gesture from me, the crowds were filled with happy cheers and their morale were lifted even more, I am sure that even those that were listening were definitely feeling proud of themselves. After this little gesture from me, is truly a feature that differ
“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)Once again, thunderous claps filled the entire building as I announced this fact. It was understandable after all, the official statement only stated the Eastern Region were the only one that has been fully conquered, I have blocked the information regarding the success on the Southern Region. As always there are those that are in the Cabinet Hall knows about the full progress, but there are a lot of people still oblivious about it, and this is the first time that the learned about the success on the Southern Front.“Under the successful attack by our Proud and Mighty Navy, the Southern Alemia Region, has now finally been fully liberated…from the Alemia Nation reign of tyranny and Evil….With the Leadership of Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon Eloesa, the first city to be reclaimed is Pearl City….Our Navy forces, managed to claimed the city with minimal casualties on the citizens side…whilst have done full damage to our enemies…”.“’Liberated
“Ever Since our forces has successfully liberated the 2 region…I can now truly say that, the better day has come for the People of those region and the region itself….No more uncertainty or fear, no more injustice that stemmed from the Noble class and the poor Alemia Governments….no more of those dark days remained…As soon as I set step into that Sunders City, we have culled the Evil baron powers and punished the Sunders Family of their evil atrocities…”.“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)“At the same time, We are also enacting Aeternum Governance in these liberated region…from Local Police all the way to hospital, we strive to open and provide all the basic necessity for the people…Not to mention, our Soldiers are also working hard to hunt down criminals and monsters that has been plaguing the land….With this, I am positive to say…Perhaps…by the time this war to be conclude…these region will already being fully integrated into our Aeternum…”.Certainly the claps that I
“Your Highness President…will the border be opened and also any trade activities can be done any time soon?…A lot of our merchants, Citizens and also our 3 Major Association has been asking and inquiring about this matter…”.(Minister Andrea)As anyone that stood to speak in the Cabinet Hall, they had to do some Q&A for a little bit, naturally that also includes me. As always this part of the Meeting is always seems odd and controversial to many, as in Central Continent or in fact the entire Fantasma, questioning a Monarch is just a big NO, in everyone dictionary, but here in Aeternum, we reversed that perception and thus creating a more trustworthy and prestigious image to the Aeternum royal family and also me, the President.“At the moment, we are working towards that path…at the moment, all of our military activities were in a full swing….we are establishing not only a safe environment in the region…but also law and order…both crucial aspect that has basically gone for a long time i
“At the moment, we are working towards that path…at the moment, all of our military activities were in a full swing….we are establishing not only a safe environment in the region…but also law and order…both crucial aspect that has basically gone for a long time in that region……As the Aeternum President and the leader of this military campaign…I hate to see my people be harm in these newly established region…Until our standard of safety were achieved, that border will remained close..”.This might sounded like I am unnecessarily strict on my policy, and it might just be ridiculous for me to deny everything from coming into Alemia Region. But this is a stance that I refuse to budge on and for everyone to just accept that fact. After all, at the end of the day, although I am a bit lax compared to other monarch, this government is still move under my command and this is something that the people had to accept. But naturally I had to put this out as subtle as it can be delivered, just to a
“I have an inquiry, Your Highness, I hope that Your highness can clarify on it…When, will we resume our Liberation campaign?…extending it more inwards?..”.(Governor Countess Jelina)Governess Countess Jelina questions is a well placed and a well timed questions, well actually it was a scripted question, provided from me, just so that I wont be caught unprepared. After all I wanted these Meeting to go on smoothly, and having to be side track at all time is not going to help me at all.“We will assume the campaign…as soon as the current region has been stabilized and good for us to no longer have any lingering concern of it…as for now, of those 2 region…we will need to employ a temporary overseer for those regions..so that the development and the security of those region were not compromised as we all moved forwards with the war…Hence the reason as to why I am here today…in these meeting…we will be electing the Temporary Overseer for the Alemia Eastern Region and the Southern Region…as
“Electing?…not appointing?..”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“Yes, that’s right….we…that means me and you…Everyone in this Cabinet Hall will be voting to elect the temporary Overseer for these 2 region…meaning there is 2 position open for elections…with a unison voice of all of Aeternum…we will chose those that deserve and qualify for this positions….”.Baffled and stunned is the correct atmosphere that are spreading throughout the entire Cabinet Hall, after all, I just dropped them a new concept for choosing someone for work, and it was one of the important positions. Until now, the process of elections or even a smidgen concept of democracy is something that no one in Fantasma every know about, so it was understandable that what I am doing is just baffling to all of them. But at the end of the day, I wanted this concept of choosing leaders to become a concept that Aeternum will come to be used to.If I ever wanted to be able to produced a quality leaders and pioneers this is the way to
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
