“We were saving Old Marlo colleague, huh….I guess, with the current situation….it is appropriate to do so…This order really comes from the Boss…if it was him…he would surely never leave any man behind..”.(Specialist Alehandro)Alehandro smiles as he close the files in his hand, truly the mission were aligned with their President conduct, to save a comrade that has been abandoned, surely it was a honorable actions.“Old Marlo colleague….the apprentices…well…since we were about to liberated more land….those administrator is surely needed for everything…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“That’s true…look at here and the Pearl City…thanks to those apprentice, the city administration has become even smoother now…this mission is truly crucial for our next war skirmishes…”.(Corporal Liam)Although they might looked like just a bunch of hot headed, battle maniac bunch, The entire Special Forces branch were filled with qualified officers and soldiers, in fact if any Special Force soldier were put in th
“That’s true…look at here and the Pearl City…thanks to those apprentice, the city administration has become even smoother now…this mission is truly crucial for our next war skirmishes…”.(Corporal Liam)Although they might looked like just a bunch of hot headed, battle maniac bunch, The entire Special Forces branch were filled with qualified officers and soldiers, in fact if any Special Force soldier were put in that same unit as any regular soldiers, that Special Forces unit will always be the one that will be the leading figure and will always be the smarter and experienced one than all the others. Hence all the 4 officers were able to instantly determined the crucial roles of the apprentices is just proved just how professional and capable they are.“Hence that is why…we all need to nail this mission perfectly…from the initial intel gathering…all the way to extracting them…every single moves has to be done with utter perfections…Remember..this mission is given to us…directly from th
“Hence that is why…we all need to nail this mission perfectly…from the initial intel gathering…all the way to extracting them…every single moves has to be done with utter perfections…Remember..this mission is given to us…directly from the President himself….he can give it to the mere soldiers, to the Spy bunch…but no…he gave it to us….so…no matter what…I will not disappoint him…and I expect you all also have the same kind of motivation as me…is that understood?..”.(Sergeant Leku)“Crystal Clear, Sir…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“Good…let us start sorting the available intel for now and decide our strategic plans…”.(Sergeant Leku)“Alright, sir..”.(Corporal Liam)With that order, the whole tent started to get busy, all hand were on deck, as the files filled with information were spread on top of the long table in the middle of the room. In just a few hours, the data were already started to formed a solid plans, maps on the table were filled with mark and dots, for the whole six hours and no
“.….Leku….the complication of this mission….it is not that hard….but rather…what is pressing…is that the distance of each extraction target….with this…we literally have to travel from the North-east all the way to North-west of Alemia Region….with stopping at all the region major city and town….rather than worrying about the resistance….we are actually have to worry about time….”.(Specialist Alehandro)“...That’s right….this is time concerning mission…Just look at all the diverse location of the remaining survivor…”.(Corporal Liam)After all the arranging data has completed, at last, Sergeant Leku and all the Special Forces officers can finally get the whole picture of their mission scales. It was true, that rather than worrying about the possible resistance that they will face in their mission later, what is worrying for them is the time constraint. The location of the well known Apprentices survivor were far to scattered all over the 3 region of Alemia, and thus this will only make
“They were just salty….back when we first fought and defeated them….all of them were hiding in the corner cowardly…and then we installed the apprentices to take their places…at that time I can still remember that they don’t even dared to look at the apprentices directions…they just bowed their heads and lick the apprentices foot..at that time…..remember that time, Alehandro?..”.(Sergeant Leku)“Yeah…that time, the same thing happened here…all the nobles that day just simply hides in their lair like a cowards….damn…I have so many apprentices friend back then…and those guys were good guys…it was only understandable..that they do what they did now…with us out the pictures…they can just storm in and claim everything back…”.(Specialist Alehandro)It was a sad truth and regrettable what had happened, but ultimately at the end of the day, things already happened so now all that they can do is rectify everything and move on.“Wow….you two have even served during the first war?…I get it when i
“Specialist Alehandro..is First generation Special Force Operator, you know…please be respectful Gunner..”.(Specialist Jennifer)Alehandro is known to be the old member of the Special Forces Branch, and he is also a low key person. What is more puzzling to others is that compared to the many first generation Special Forces operator, his ranks were the lowest, thus made him seem unremarkable to many. For Gunner, Jennifer and Liam, they were second generation operator, so this old Dwarf often alluded them with mystery.“I am respectful, you know!…..it just….why are you still specialist, old man?..”.(Specialist Gunner)“Oi…what did I just said just now?…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“Hey..I know!….I just..you know…curious?…”. (Specialist Gunner)Jennifer growled as the brash attitude of Gunner, but everyone can see that Gunner were just curious and doesn’t mean anything bad from his words. Liam too were curious as well, but decided as the youngest in the room it is better to keep his mouth shu
“It is rather simple actually….this old dwarf is just stubborn….Hahaha..”.(Sergeant Leku)“…what?..”.(Corporal Liam)Hearing their sergeant just rip into Alehandro like it was nothing, Corporal Liam just spurt out his drinks in shock, startling the whole room.“He denied promotions because he haven’t had enough of fighting…and because he don’t want to lead others…Stupid right?…hahaha!…Then again…if he decided to rank up…this guy over here can just asked the President for it…and he will get it nifty….”.(Sergeant Leku)“Tch!…I too lazy to lead others…”.(Specialist Alehandro)“Believe it or not…if he wanted to…he can easily rose to Lieutenant Colonel and stand beside Colonel Xing if he wanted to…but being a muscle headed dwarf that he is….he preferred to bash in some skull rather than sit in an office somewhere….You guys do realized that he just called the President ‘Boss’ right?…”.(Sergeant Leku)“yeah….aren’t you also called the President, Boss as well, Sir?…”.(Specialist
“Tch!…I too lazy to lead others…”.(Specialist Alehandro)“Believe it or not…if he wanted to…he can easily rose to Lieutenant Colonel and stand beside Colonel Xing if he wanted to…but being a muscle headed dwarf that he is….he preferred to bash in some skull rather than sit in an office somewhere….You guys do realized that he just called the President ‘Boss’ right?…”.(Sergeant Leku)“yeah….aren’t you also called the President, Boss as well, Sir?…”.(Specialist Jennifer)“Yeah…that is because…we…including several others and also Colonel Xing were used to be in the same Unit as the President….and the first one to call the President Boss and have guts to do it…is this Old Dwarf over here…”.(Sergeant Leku)“Really?!…goddamn…I never thought that you were really that of a big shot, old man…”.(Specialist Gunner)The 3 officer looked at Alehandro with glistening eyes at this very moment, never they have ever thought that the Old Dwarf were this prolific.“Why would you told them that…you idiot
The refugees of the Battle Star Empire were determined to prove themselves.The Aeternum government had granted them legal residency, but full citizenship required them to live lawfully, work hard, and integrate into society. It wasn’t a difficult requirement—the people wanted to stay, to belong, and they were more than willing to do whatever it took.Crime among the former refugees was almost nonexistent. They respected the law because they had never known justice before.Education was another priority. Schools and learning centers had been set up specifically for immigrants, teaching them not only about Aeternum’s history and culture but also modern skills—reading, writing, mathematics, and even vocational training.Mira had already enrolled in evening classes, determined to further her education.Her dream?To open her own tailoring business one day.Back in the Empire, she had been forced to sew uniforms for soldiers under brutal conditions, her work never appreciated, never compe
This was Aeternum’s first fully televised football match, being broadcast internationally to allied nations like Dukedom of Angela, Kingdom of Zaredon, and Kingdom of Eloesa.Even rival nations, like Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation, watched the match with a mix of jealousy and curiosity.For them, this was completely new.A sport played in a massive stadium. A crowd of thousands cheering in unison. Leaders sitting among their people, showing unity and camaraderie."Is this… what Aeternum entertainment looks like?""No wonder their people love them…"Aeternum was changing the world, one goal at a time.The match continued, New City United pressing forward, desperately trying to equalize. And then—Thirty minutes in—goal! New City United equalized with a powerful shot from outside the box.Forty-second minute—goal! Another attack from New City, and they took the lead.President Mies stood up and cheered loudly with the crowd."Looks like the President is having a great t
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-
