“That land it about to be liberated!…the people were about to be saved!….and we….WE are about to get the glory and honor of winning a war!!….we..all of us had hands on changing the future for the better!…..we are about to obtained what we had dreamed about for years!!…..and it was about to be stopped?…by what by a memorandum that might as well be concocted by a traitors?!……I say to hell with that!…..not gonna happen….Over my cold dead body!…I’m going to make sure that nothing, no one will stop this war!….either you join me…or get out of my way, Suchong!…”.(Old Corg)Finished his shouting bout, panting and gasping for air, Old Corg vicious eyes did not change at all. His speech were heard by everyone in the area, and it does truly affected those that were listening to him. Like a beckoning call to arms, everyone in the restaurant started to stands up and surrounded the Old man. People on the surrounding also started to walk towards the crowd and combined, in just a few dozens seconds,
“calm the protester and make sure that they do not do anything troublesome…tell them to wait, as I will come out to meet them…”.(Minister Mina)“Understood, madam..”.(Aeternum Police Commissioner Layla)Leaving the now hectic cabinet hall, Aeternum Police Commissioner Layla head back out, and just right outside the door, the entire Cabinet Hall were already filled with Aeternum police officers. Nearly half of the Police officer in New City were being pulled out of their station and duty and were tasked here to maintained the order and safety of the Cabinet Hall and building. Almost all the station chief all over New City were waiting right outside the cabinet hall door.“Chief…so…how was it?…Did Madam Minister said anything?..”.(Captain Mimal)“Chief….the situation outside is about to reach the boiling point…hundreds, if not thousands are already gathering outside…”.(Captain Gorry)The 2 Demi-Human police captain, were looking extremely worried about the growing situation outside. It
“We better do our job….let those politician do theirs…god…..I hope they solve this problem quick…soon enough…we would be overwhelmed…”.(Aeternum Police Commissioner Layla)Getting their new order, Layla along with all the police captain leave the cabinet hall and head out to the streets, this time they all had their work plans out for them, for their duty this time is to just make sure that nothing damaging would happened. Certainly this is a troubled time, especially when the military is busy elsewhere, usually this kind of controlling situation would be much more manageable if the soldiers were with them to control the situation, as the people would be more calm when they sees soldiers calming them.Meanwhile inside of the Cabinet Hall, the situation weren’t Getting any better, the 2 opposing side were getting more and more heated, especially when the religious faction chimed in.“We all should obeyed the rules and our constitutions!…this is ordained by us by our government…and the
“Sister….”.(Mina)“What is it?..”.(Elijah)“It’s happening….we have protest outside….and looks like is continues to grows…”.(Mina)“Seems like our expectation has became true…”.(Elijah)Learning this, Elijah slyly smirked, her plans has already started to come together.“Yeah….but, I feared that the crowd might be too riled up…..also, they are continuing to grow larger…My commissioner are clearly worried that this situation might grow and become out of control…”.(Mina)“Now…we don’t that to happen do we..”.(Elijah)“Yes….you should start the next phase now….whilst I will go outside and select someone to talk here…”.(Mina)“You go and do that…I’ll handle the situation here..”.(Elijah)Mina nodded and walked away, naturally like a show as soon as she moved, the rest of the staff inside the Cabinet Hall also suddenly spring into action, making all the Cabinet members became very aware that something had happened, and it seems like it isn’t something good.“Ladies and gentlemen…may I have
“Things are slowly going out of control…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“You think so?….ahaha….well, that is the difference between us and the other governments….our people can think for themselves….and they wanted us to hear about it….unlike the other nations….our people were not merely just a sheeps….amazing isn’t it….”.(Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)“Sure…that’s great…but still….with that amount of people outside….things can easily spiral out of control…and that shouldn’t happen…especially now..when we had a very crucial decision to make…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)To many of the old lords, this situation is certainly unsettling to be in, but for many Aeternum born leader, this situation is just something that is to be expected, as things like this is what made the Aeternum governance to be different and unique. At the same time, right outside the Cabinet Hall Building, the crowds that starts at most at a hundreds people has now grown into thousands, traffic, business and now even sch
“Commissioner Layla….” Minister Mina’s voice cut through the din of the crowd, carrying a weight of authority that had been honed through years of public service.“Yes, Madam Minister!” Layla responded, relief palpable in her tone. “Thank God you’re finally here. Look at the crowd, Ma’am. The numbers have kept increasing…” Aeternum Police Commissioner Layla’s voice trailed off as she gestured toward the masses.Minister Mina’s gaze swept across the scene, taking in the sea of faces. “I can see that… It’s even more overwhelming than what I saw from the inside. Is the situation under control?” Her words were calm, but there was an undercurrent of urgency.“Somehow… somehow, the people are still in a reasonable mood. So far, no one has attempted to cross the barrier we’ve set up,” Commissioner Layla replied, her voice tinged with cautious optimism. She gave a wry smile as she motioned toward the crowd, clearly indicating that the protest line had not yet breached the police barricades.“
“[ Folks, let it be known that today, right inside this building, we are in the midst of a respected Cabinet Meeting… A time and place where we discuss the matters that will shape the future of our nation. It is also a place where you—the people—are heard and your concerns are listened to by the leaders of our nation. Seeing you all gathered here today is truly a shocking sight for all of us inside. Let it be known that this is a trying time for all of us. With the war that we are still fighting, we need to be united as one. So, tell me, what has prompted you all to gather here today in this fashion?… ]” Minister Mina’s voice was soothing yet firm, her words carefully chosen to deescalate the situation while inviting the crowd to share their grievances.Her calming presence had an almost immediate effect on the protesters. The tension that had gripped the crowd began to ease, and a sense of order slowly returned. It was Old Corg who stepped forward, his voice now the only one that bro
Back outside, with the crowd of protester has calmed down and finally able to communicate calmly and in an orderly fashion, everything else has flowed smoothly as it can be, right now, in front of the crowds, Old Corg, who is now wholeheartedly being acknowledge as the crowds representative, are now beginning to have an earnest talks with Minister Mina. The police are no longer felt the tension in the air as the crowd, now knows that they have someone to talk on behalf of them, started to take a step back and calmly await what is going to unfold.“So, you…along with the others are here…to protest the memorandum from being approved, right?…”.(Minister Mina)“Yes, Madam Minister….I…or perhaps…we all…we don’t want to see…that the progress….the effort of our soldiers are being wasted here….”.(Old Corg)Old Corg are very passionate right now, he spread his arms to the side to signify that right now, he is not just talking for himself, but also for the rest of Aeternum people as well, and h
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
