“Marisko…how about on your side?..”.“The public reaction is overwhelmingly positive….and from the end of New Sunders to here…..the people are ready to accept Aeternum wholeheartedly…In terms of the new trades agreements with Dukedom of Angela….everything has been prepared…we already started to sent the first shipments to New City as we speak….for now the only issues that we had…is dealing with the runaway nobles and lords….some of them managed to escape to the Central Region…”.(Agent Marisko)“Hmm….what about their properties?..”.“We managed to obtained all of them…but, as for their lives….they managed to get away…so…we would have less than original estimated numbers of scapegoat to shows to the public…”.(Agent Marisko)“That’s not really great…those people are needed for us to show our Justice systems….the down trodden people need to see that we are able to delivered them a profound justice…”.Sure at this point, we have already punished a lot of Nobles and lord in the midst of the
“Things like this bound to happen, Marisko…everything is messy around us….and things just moving too fast….we cannot covered everything, right?….rather than dwelling in this situation…we should just find a solution for it…”.I rather changed the current mood, as this unhinged lady should never be let being in a depressed mood, she might just go unhinged entirely later on.“.…hmm….contact, Observer Naevys Briarfel in Pearl City and Governor Duke Oliver Gust….I want them to sent all their captured Nobles and Lord here to Georgina City…we will hold he trial here….”.“I see….by punishing the Noble and Lord from all the regions…then the numbers would be large enough, to create an illusion that we were punishing every sinners that the Alemia Nation had….and thus appeased and appeal to the public that we ARE punishing everyone…Right, Sir?…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Yes…that is the plans….while I am punishing these convict….I want you, Holgun…paired with General Eliza and the rest of the tro
“...Us, the M.I agents has to always be the most effective swords and shield for him….and your mistakes….can be a hole that anyone can take advantage of…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“.….Once again, I understand, you bull….stop reminding me so much about it….just in case….you better remember…that between you and me….he used my dirty and dark sword the most….you can stick close to him as much as you can….but remember…I am the most useful tool for him….Hmph!…”.(Agent Marisko)“..Heh….anyway….make sure that you handle your task correctly this time…I don’t want to suggest my men to replace you….which…you know that it can happen…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)Petty, that is what Holgun were looking like right now, but still Marisko cannot just rebuked him. The real truth is although their interaction seems scathing, it also served as an effort to comfort both of them. The M.I Agency is small, and they only served and answered to the President, in terms of hierarchy within the many Aeternum agency
“By the way, lady Marisko…I wanted to remind you, that…when you were hiring…please make sure that your worker has already registered as Aeternum citizens…as you know…we need to follow and showed off the policy….Government requirements…”.(Observer Mr.Halgar)“Of course, Mr. Halgar….quite perceptive of you, to use these opportunity that comes from me…”.(Agent Marisko)“Well…we all go to survive and collect merits right?…ahahaha…”.(Observer Mr.Halgar)In just a short brief of time, the 2 already forge a cooperation, and already using each others for their own benefits. Halgar at this moment, is still an Observer in trial, and he would need a lot of connection and credentials, to help him raise to the position of true mayor, which is certainly a long road, should he not have any ally, and thankfully Agent Marisko is a good ally for him to have on his side.Whilst the 2 in Georgina City were busy with their preparation for the upcoming Trial in the City, on the other part of the region, mo
“This region…is not only cold….but also desolate as heck…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)Sitting inside the warm regulated interior of the Aeternum Airship, Holgun looked out the window and frowned as he can only sees, cold snowy winds and just white landscape everywhere.“...It is not that bad….at the very least…it isn’t hot here…of I Forgot…you’re from the wasteland right?….so you don’t like this kind of place?..”.(General Eliza)“We Minotaurus kind…like a slightly warm temperatures…seasons like springs and hot summer were the best for us….”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Hmm….I guess, that is logical…you all got furs and everything…”.(General Eliza)“Absolutely, milady….you seems to enjoy, this cold atmosphere…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Well…Our headquarters are cold like this….just east of where we are….is our main base….have you and your division got a duty stationed on the North region yet?..”.(General Eliza)Casually, the General pointed her finger toward the east, Which shocked Holgun
“.…Welcome to Air Nest 05, Madam General Eliza, Major Holgun and Major Fontana…Looks like the 2 of you…seems a little bit shocked…”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)A thin Colonel with full dark colored military uniform greeted, General Eliza company at the landing pad. In Aeternum Military structure, Black Colored uniform is something that can only be wear by a division or a person that is under direct control of the President and the Royal family, and thus, this colonel position is quite special. And also the fact that this Dark Colored uniform appeared in this hidden base, do invoke curiosity from a lot of people, this including the 2 Major.“Of course,Sir….I never thought that I will meet the fame Eternal Night Division again…the last time I meet them is in the Wasteland…”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Oh~ you meet my division?…that’s nice…that division that you meet were led by my Master and also our Leader, Madame Colonel Alessia Di Gianna…she is now stationed there….to develop that regi
“a Yeti-Demon Hybrid?….that is just….outrageous…”.(Major Fontana De Ark)“I know, right?…Hahaha….by the way, that is a Tier 7 Monster, right there…the combination or rather the demon possession has forcefully raise the Yeti, normal tier 3 by 4 tiers….here..this kind of monster is like an infestation..”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)With a casual smile on his face, the Colonel just revealed the Tier of that monster before them, and it was dangerously high. Everyone knows that Aeternum do dealt with monsters that were above Tier 3, but that were on the seas, where such news were already becoming a common one, but now to know that there were also another region within Aeternum that produce a land monster with high tier, that is worrying information, enough to give everyone a nightmare every night.“Don’t be too shock and afraid….because of this monster like that…there are dozens of secret base within this northern region…that monster is also why our nation were so rich…despite we do not ha
A matter of dealing an entire region in secret, is not something that were supposed to be mention casually, yet here are the Colonel just spurt out the words before the groups saying that the entire region were already within Aeternum hands and then the Northwestern Region is already being prepared for attack.“We have all the targets, in surveillance…we already relocated all the villagers into towns…so there is no need to relocate them anymore…you can just stroll in and officially take control of the 2 towns and the Frozen Peak City at any time you wanted, General…”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)“Good…that’s takes a lot of weight off my shoulders…Even His Highness were a bit frustrated that we had to waste a lot of time to relocates people….since you have done it…then my job would be easier…”.(General Eliza)“I am happy to serve, Madam General..”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)“Um….Sir Colonel, did you really able to do it?…not to sound like I am questioning you or anything…but what you j
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
