“The gate has been closed and the matter regarding the Refugees has been handled….Oliver are you alright…it kinda rare to see you just daydream like this…”.(Major General Lucas)“.…It’s nothing….oh and thanks for the help…the sudden order caught me and the staff off guard by a lot….…at the very least…the lives of these refugees will spared right?…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Following the Duke, General Lucas also stood before the window and gazed at the crowd in the Plaza.“You worried about some useless stuff, Oliver…This war were led by His Highness President himself….and also all the top brass were at the fore front of this battle….they will not be massacring the entire population….we are not some barbaric army…rest assured…only those that deserved it will die…and it will also be punished accordingly….”.(Major General Lucas)“Hahaha….I just can’t help myself to be worried…I have been through a lot of battle and war myself….but every time I do…death were everywhere…When I sa
“As soon as we started to march…we planned to immediately conquer all these settlements whilst we move forward…they were in our paths…I suggest subdued them and thoroughly made sure that we left no gap behind our back…”.(Major Fontana De Ark)“Conquering these 30 settlements as we move forward, huh…..it can be done as you planned…but this will slow our movement even more…., especially if we wanted to follow the initial war plans and get to Georgina City in 3 days from now…I wanted to mention that…Georgina City is the border between the Central and Northern Region….and we need to control that branching point as fast as we can…remember we need to conquer the Northern Region as well…and this…all this settlement..is still within the Eastern Region…”.(Sergeant Leku)Leku pointed at the map with his finger circling all the settlements that Major Fontana asked to conquer as the army moved forward. “Sergeant Leku is correct if we decide to conquer this settlement as we move forward…we will b
…maybe we are overthinking this a little bit too much…”.(Major Fontana De Ark)“I guess the pressure to do your very best has gotten into you all, huh….Gentlemen….I am the one that is pushing this agenda….naturally, I will be the one that making sure that everything will go as planned…all that you all have to do is perform as good as you all can do…the rest leave it to me…”.“Understood, Sir…we all just might be a little bit nervous…after all…this is the first time we are going blitz like this…as far as I am concerned…no one has ever done things like this ever before…”.(Sergeant Leku)I decided that it was time to calm everyone a little bit, the one who was pushing the idea to finish this war faster was me, and naturally, I had to take responsibility for it. The stage is already set for this war and so does the way to do it, tomorrow everything will happen so fast and so easily, that even my own soldiers will be wondering what they were doing.“Just because no one has ever done
“Good…now you’re getting the picture…”.It was a fact that there will be some empty villages ans town within out targets, with the amount of people that has come to New Sunder City recently, it bound to be true. Recently the influx of people that were coming to this place has been increasing daily, and so does to the Pearl City, hence comes the questions, where does this people were coming from, the answer is from all the surrounding places in the territory. For the New Sunders City, these extra population comes from these small settlements.With them coming here,meaning that there 80% chances that the target will will be just an empty shell of a settlement and posses no values at all, and that is why I am sending the Recon team ahead of time, to make sure that if there is an empty target, we will move on right away and focused on dealing with only those that have a resistance in it. Right now if my calculation is right maybe there will be just a few of this settlement that weer far a
“Good, Marisko…you have done what I asked of you perfectly…controlling the underworld will give us many benefits in the future…congratulations…”.“[It’s an honour, Sir….all I’ve done…it is all for you and Aeternum…]”.(Supervisor Agent Marisko)I give credits where credits are due, and for intelligence agents like Marisko, although she cannot get a public recommendation, a words of gratitude from me is enough for her, and perhaps she is half Maiden unit herself, that appreciation from me meant a lot to her as well.“By the way…I know that you aren’t calling me just for this….is there anything you wanted to say to me?..”.“[Yes sir….I have assumed soft control of the entire Georgina City, Sir…ever since the war started and our forces has controlled the New Sunders City and Pearl City…the People Resistance here has been motivated to do the same thing…and hence I have provided them with motivation and ways to do it….and as a result…we are now controlling the entire city….secretly….]”.(Sup
“[I am glad to be of assistance, sir…..but….a show?…what do you mean by that sir?..]”.(Supervisor Agent Marisko)“.….right now, everyone are still a little bit worried and skeptical on whether this war we started is a good one or not, right?…..so…what if…I can conquer Georgina City…in a day…..and also all by myself?…”.In a brief of a moment, I got a funny idea, and with the entire Georgina City already under Marisko control, then surely I can do something with it. So I decide for it to be a show, a moment of absurdity that will be written in all the historical epic. And not just some fabricated and exaggerated story, but a true real one.“[….Sir….let me get this straight….so you were saying that you wanted to conquer Georgina City all on your own?….just with a single person?…]”.(Supervisor Agent Marisko)“That is correct….tomorrow…I will flew to Georgina City and on my own…I will conquer the city…won’t that be something that will stroke the fire of motivation to our soldiers….and per
Right inside the castle of the City lord in Georgina City, the lord's study chamber right at this moment, were filled with a lot of people, naturally at the lord's desk, is A.C.I.A supervisor agent, Agent Marisko, or she is more well known to the public with her created image, Lady Marisko, a simple revolution leader who decided to rally the entire Georgina City resistance to launch a coup, against the Georgina City Lord and all the nobles, in secret and also succeed. She is a revered woman, an honorable fighter that is admired by all the resistance members, though secretly she is also the Madam of the Underworld and Aeternum intelligence agents.“My Friends…..today I called you all here…is to delivered a good news…and that is….Aeternum….is coming to liberate us…”.(Agent Marisko)“What?…..fuh~…finally they come here to us….have you succeeded in convincing the Aeternum to come here and rule us like before, Lady Marisko?…”.(Bald Bob)“Of course, she did, Baldy…it’s Lady Marisko we were
“What a great news, Milady…I am sure that there is many things that we had to prepare…to truly welcomed, His Highness president to our city….correct?..”.(Sir Joseph) Being the leader and always the driven figure in the mass, Sir Joseph woke up from the masses reverie and asked his leader that were seated before the crowd.“Of course Sir Joseph….we have much to prepare…..that is why in called everyone here not only to deliver this great news…but also to ensure that the city as well as all of us prepared properly for our next chapter of life….First of all…….It has been promised to me by the President of Aeternum….that all the noble that we have captured….all of them will face the strictest trial and punishment, by the Aeternum court of law, of which they will be judged by the President himself…hence we must prepared this vermin…to be punished by him…Second…to those evil soldiers that we have detained….tomorrow…they will all be vanquished by Aeternum soldiers…these 2 act….will be known
“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
