“You go ahead and do that. I’m heading back inside.”Commissioner Layla)“Roger that, Ma’am,”.(Captain Mimal)Captain Mimal replied with a salute, before turning to follow the crowd, his watchful eyes scanning the throng for any signs of trouble.Even though the situation outside the Cabinet Hall had returned to a semblance of normalcy, the work of the police force was far from over. With thousands of people now converging on the Broadcast Centre, their sheer numbers demanded continued vigilance. Captain Mimal knew that the mood of the crowd could shift at any moment, and it was his duty to ensure that nothing jeopardized the fragile peace that had been restored.As Commissioner Layla made her way back into the Cabinet Hall, she couldn’t help but reflect on the events of the day. It had been a close call—one that could have easily spiraled out of control if not for the timely intervention of Minister Mina. But even as she considered the challenges they had faced, she knew that the real
Old Corg, who had been teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown, found himself calming down. There was something about Minister Mina’s presence—her gentle, calming manner—that reassured him. She had a way of making even the most daunting situations seem manageable, of making him feel that he could speak his mind without fear of reprisal. With her standing by his side, ready to cover for any mistakes he might make, Old Corg felt a newfound confidence stirring within him.“Thank you, Madam Minister… I feel calmer now,”.(Old Corg)Old Corg said, a small smile creeping onto his face.“I think I can speak my mind and my opinions more clearly now. Hahaha… I’m sure that when I speak, there might be one or two Cabinet Members who’ll be offended…”.(Old Corg)Minister Mina chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with understanding.“Well… they might be offended, but such is the nature of speaking honestly. At the end of the day, the truth is better than a lie, right?”.(Minister Mina)“That’s t
“Your Excellencies, I stand before you today not as a politician, not as a leader, but as a simple man—a fish hawker from the wet market,” .(Old Corg)Old Corg began, his voice steady yet humble.“I have been chosen by the people to represent their concerns, to speak on their behalf regarding the proposal that is currently before you.”.Though his voice lacked the polished rhetoric typical of the chamber, it carried a sincerity that demanded attention.“The war we are fighting is not just a battle for land or power—it is a fight for our way of life, for the future of our children,”.(Old Corg)Old Corg continued, his conviction evident in every word.“To talk of stopping the war now, when so much is at stake, is something that we, the people, cannot accept. We believe that ending the war prematurely would be a grave mistake, one that would cost us dearly in the long run.”.(Old Corg)His words, plain yet powerful, resonated deeply with the Cabinet Members. Old Corg spoke without pretens
“Ladies and Gentlemen, since we have listened to the words, the opinion, and the voice of our people, it is time we come to a vote—a vote to dismiss the memorandum of stopping the Aeternum-Alemia war once and for all. Let us hold the voting process at once,”.(Vice President Elijah)Declared Vice President Elijah, her voice steady and authoritative.The tension that had gripped the Cabinet Hall began to dissolve as everyone in the room prepared for the decisive moment. There was a renewed vigor among the members, a sense of clarity that had been missing before. The impassioned speech from Old Corg had stirred something deep within them, reminding them of the stakes and the will of the people. As they cast their votes, there was a shared belief that they were finally on the path to the solution they had all been seeking.The voting process began, and for ten intense minutes, the Cabinet members focused on the task at hand. The room was silent, save for the occasional rustling of papers
Governor Duke Oliver Gust, still standing beside Old Corg, turned to the Cabinet members and spoke with the authority of a leader who knew the importance of the moment.“Let this day be remembered as the day we reaffirmed our commitment to the fight for freedom,”. (Governor Duke Oliver Gust)he declared, his voice ringing with conviction.“The people have spoken, and we will honor their will. We will continue this war until Alemia is free, and we will not rest until justice is done.”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)His words were met with nods of agreement and murmurs of approval. The decision had been made, and the path was clear. The war would continue, but now, it would do so with the full support of the nation—united in purpose and determined to see it through to the end.As Old Corg prepared to leave the hall, he felt a sense of closure, but also a sense of beginning. He had played his part, but the real work was just beginning. The future was uncertain, but for the first time in a l
Today will go down in history as a momentous occasion for everyone. The people have risen to challenge the absurdity taking place within the Cabinet—the very heart of where the nation's crucial decisions are made. Through their unified demands and unwavering opinions, a decision was reached that resonated with the voice of the populace. Not only was the war saved from the brink of discontinuation, but the nation's attention and focus were also firmly redirected back to the battlefield. Everyone was determined to see the war through to its conclusion, with a renewed fervor driving them forward.For Elijah, today was nothing short of triumphant. She had successfully achieved her goal: ensuring that under no circumstances would anyone, be it the people or the leaders, object to the war. No one would dare question its purpose or direction. The people of Aeternum, along with the entire nation, were now united behind the war effort, supporting it wholeheartedly, no matter what challenges la
"You know how eager and capable the Eternal Night Division is, especially at night. When they asked for my permission, they executed their orders with full force... and that’s exactly what happened," .(President Mies )President Mies explained, his voice a blend of satisfaction and mild amusement."I see... I know how they operate. Sitting around idly must have been intolerable for them," .(Elijah)Elijah responded, her tone becoming more serious."But I hope the Eternal Night Division will remain confined to the Northern Region. We cannot afford to expose their existence or their capabilities to the outside world... not yet.".(Elijah)The Eternal Night Division was one of Aeternum's many secret military divisions, but it was undoubtedly the most formidable. Unlike the Special Forces, the Eternal Night Division surpassed all others in every aspect—physical attributes, effectiveness, and tactical prowess. What set them apart even further was the fact that every soldier in the division
Among the populace, there was a sense of vindication. The trials represented more than just a legal proceeding; they were a symbolic act of retribution, a cathartic release for years of pent-up anger and frustration. The people of Alemia Nation had suffered under the yoke of their lords for too long, and now, with the arrival of Aeternum, they saw a glimmer of hope.Inside the makeshift courtroom, I observed the preparations with a critical eye. Since I will be the one that will be overseeing the trials, ensuring that everything went according to plan is just natural. It was a delicate balance—on the one hand, I needed to demonstrate Aeternum’s strength and resolve; on the other, they had to do so in a way that would win the hearts and minds of the people.“Everything must be perfect,”.she instructed her aides, her voice firm.“The people need to see that we are not just punishing these nobles out of vengeance, but because it is the right thing to do. This is about justice, not reven
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-
“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
