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
“Madam, may I suggest something?…”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)“What is it, Colonel?…”.(General Eliza)“I am suggesting for my men to assist you in this part of the war….we already had the shadow control over the region….I am suggesting that like in the Georgina City…my men can make the Frozen Peak City as the punishment ground for all the enemies…making that city as their last ground…”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)At this moment, the Eternal Night Division were only on the monitoring side inside the Northwestern region, and his suggestions would make the fight end much faster and much more efficient.“Why do you want to do that?..”.(General Eliza)“Well…there is many reason actually….one being is that, we need the entire Northern region to be under us as soon as possible…you see…without us being the official ruling power in this region..our men, especially the one that were stationed here….we cannot move freely…also…we feared that the Underworld Dimension Miasma might just spread out…
After Agent Marisko and Eliza left the castle to do their own duty, I finally able to get some personal time for myself. In these time of war, from the start I supposed today were the only day where I am able to just lounge around and do nothing at all. Everyone were on their way to do their own work, of which I am sure that they would be able to them spectacularly. Marisko would surely be doing something over the top, she missing those nobles and lords, do put her in a depressing mood. To be honest, that part is not her fault at all, after all, who knows that those rats would ran away unnoticed.Also, I never ordered her to capture them at all. But somehow she viewed the incident as her mishaps, and everyone also looked at it that way. Naturally I told her that it was not a big deal at all, but I am sure that she won’t viewed it that way. In fact, everyone around me would do just that, these people were just to hardcore, and personally I would not want to change that or even interfer
“Selie, Make sure to take pictures, Videos and documented everything here….we can use this to paint more horrendous stuff and degrade this stupid nation image even more with this… ”.“Yes, Your Highness…”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)Selie just come to me this morning, so since then she had taken her role as my Secretary, so when I am roaming the castle she and her team joined in as well. For me since I do this roaming, might as well create a documentary and records at the same time, to preserved a history so to say. Aeternum is a nation that is barely a few years old, so we need to create a history records for ourselves. So this is one of them in the making is supposed.“Hmm…this golds would be a waste if we just leave them like this…i also wanted to remodeled this entire floor as well…..Gerard, have the maid and staffs to emptied the entire floor here…carried everything out to the front lawn…from the bed to everything…I want them out and laid on the lawn….make sure, not a single thing
“Sir, all the stuff, from the basements has been moved safely on the lawn…and already finished being categorized..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Oh, Thank you Selie…..hmm…that is quite a lot of stuff…”.“Yes, sir…all the gold and silvers items….are approximately weights around half a tonne…”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)That is quite shocking, all the sex toys that comes from the basement floor, the fittings, the luxurious items were actually that much. That previous lord is true scumbags, truly, even the furniture’s were all a high class ones, they all would surely bump the cost even higher.“What a waste….well, melt all the golds and silver and turned them into ingots…..as for the furniture’s….the bed and bedding, pillows all the stuff, that can be contaminated…just burned them all…the bed frames, sofa’s and other stuffs…clean them all….we can resell or use them later…”.“Understood, Sir….would all this be your personal loots sir?..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Yes….The castle and ever
Meanwhile, in Aeternum the sudden cabinet meeting were being held in New City. Naturally the entire New City populace who still busy living their everyday lives noticed this, as anyone can see whenever Aeternum high level official were getting busy, rows of executive cars would roam the street, multiple Airships would land all in the same area, the Government District. People instantly knows that something big about to happen and everyone hoped that they would found what it is through the Aeternum radios, as everyone knew and believed that Aeternum news is always the source of true and verified information about everything in this world.“.…What is going on?….I suddenly being summoned here…..I heard that this was urgent….”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Oliver…it’s nice to see you again….I don’t know…I also got the same notice as you….VP Elijah called me in a hurry to get myself here….but…from the looks of it…I doubt that it would be something nice…I never seen the Ministers were this u
“We’ve meet once….when you are still a little boy, Oliver Gust…back then your father were still just a recluse old Duke…”.(Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)“Ah!…I remember now!…Wow…that is a long time ago….I could barely remembered you, Lady Alessia…still seeing you here….is….quite a shock…and it turns out….the rumor is also real…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Of course it was real…but, you know how our Aeternum is different….so…that is why…I….or rather…the entire Eternal Night Division were serving our great nation….”.(Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)An eureka moment, comes to Duke Oliver as Alessia Di Gianna casually mentioned their first meetings that happened decades ago. He is genuinely shocked and also finally confirmed the long standing rumor about the Di Gianna family, that they were an old Vampire family that had ruled the Northern Alemia region for a long long time. Also seeing her, here in broad daylight and openly expressed herself as vampire, is definitely not the usual Di Gianna fa
“[Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen….Today..I did not expect to stand here..before you all, and in this room….I Am expecting to start my day…to cook for my daughter and go to work as usual….but instead…a bizarre memorandum…delivered to me this morning….Apparently….there is some group of people…had step up and against our war..]”. (Vice President Elijah)“...What?…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Baffled, shocked and just outright bewildered. That is the reaction of everyone inside the Cabinet hall, to think that there are some Aeternum out there, that would actually come to object this current campaign of war were just outrageous. But surely this new were as real as it can get as, it was presented here and were being delivered by the Vice President herself. This makes this issue as big as it can get.“no wonder they were fuming the whole time…….looks like there were quite a few that is trying to disturb our nation peace…”.(Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)“it is good, if it was just 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
